Sharyl Ashley of Creative Design Solutions

Sharyl Ashley

Having your home designed effectively when it hits the market is a low-cost way to ensure a top dollar offer price.

Making your house the prettiest property in the neighborhood is also a huge help in beating out the competition when it comes to halting the attention of potential buyers taking their first glances at dozens of homes.

However, it should be noted that selling your home requires you to somehow be a magician/ninja hybrid to master everything that goes into this complicated transaction. Because of this, it can be difficult to find time to step back, analyze, and optimize the aesthetic composition of every detail in every room of your soon-to-be former home.

With that in mind, allow us to introduce Sharyl Ashley, interior designer, owner of Creative Design Solutions and our go-to designer for all home staging needs.

Sharyl offers a long track record of excellence in residential, commercial, and healthcare design. Over the years she has honed her skills on projects of all sizes, from completely designing the interior for a newly constructed $7.4 million dollar assisted living facility to simple two hour paint consultations for residential clients. If you would like a professional consultation for preparing your home for market, Sharyl offers an efficient and comprehensive analysis.

The process – getting your house ready for the market

Listed Dec. 2017 | Sold in 13 days

Sharyl begins each residential project by meeting with the homeowners for an initial consultation. She goes through the home, discussing the changes that she feels will better showcase both the home and property. Sharyl’s strategy is to use what the homeowner already has in the home, composing each room to highlight architectural features and draw attention to the most desirable assets of the property.

If changes do need to be made, Sharyl assists clients by suggesting lighting, paint colors, flooring, counters and any other elements that might need updating or replacing.

Once the consultation phase is completed, Sharyl follows up with a detailed report listing recommended changes for each room. We love using her because she keeps the proper perspective; her goal is to effectively and efficiently stage the home both in terms of aesthetic and monetary value. We’ve included a sample below. You can download an example report here.
