Realtors and Home Sellers

Slayton Interiors specializes in helping Realtors and home sellers maximize the value of a property through low-investment recommendations that will generate an outsized return. With my proven professional design expertise, I bring an outside perspective solely-focused on helping you prepare to sell your home. 

In-Home Consultation:

During a two-hour, in-person consultation, we’ll conduct a walkthrough of the home together identifying opportunities to:

  • Prepare the home for more attractive photography

  • Edit and declutter decorations ahead of an open house or showings

  • Rearrange existing items to improve the appeal of key spaces

  • Update soft-touches to help buyers see themselves in the home

Time: two hours, Cost: $350

Additional Home Selling Support:

Following the two-hour walkthrough, I’ll often continue to engage with Realtors and sellers to make specific design plans, such as:

  • Creating a customized paint schedule

  • Sourcing quick-ship light fixtures

  • Selecting additional art and accessories for the space.

Additional time billed hourly and depends on the clients’ needs and project scope.

Day of Photography and/or Day of Open House:

During a final walkthrough of space, I’ll directly address any potential last minute adjustments to prepare for the best first impressions, such as:

  • General decluttering and final organization

  • Sourcing and preparing floral arrangements

  • Final placement of furniture and decor for optimal photography including bookshelves, bed lines, and table vignettes.

Time billed hourly, plus floral costs.

Testimonials:

“Erin was professional, she made powerful suggestions for return on investment, and she understands how to capture eye-popping real estate photos. Her design vision, and her ability to convey her recommendations with grace and gentleness, allowed the Seller to feel empowered when implementing her ideas as we prepared the home for sale. Home preparation in the luxury space in this new and challenging market requires a team effort, and I was extremely appreciative to have Erin as part of my listing team!”

Kim Hullet, Porchlight Real Estate Group

“With the market slow-down, properly preparing a home to attract the most buyers is crucial. With a smaller buyer pool, it is more important than ever that the home shows its best. This is where Erin is invaluable. She tactfully, confidently, and skillfully walks the home room by room advises on how to prepare each space to appeal to the widest group of buyers. This is particularly challenging with a space that will be occupied by the owner during the sale. Erin comes in as your third party expert to consult and handle the uncomfortable conversations for you. I highly recommend Erin!”

Erin makes budget friendly suggestions that are easy to implement yet make a big impact. In today's market every home needs some editing, staging and updates and Erin skillfully curates a home so that it shows in its best light. I highly recommend Erin!”
