Home Staging in Portland Oregon

Sometimes when staging a home, having the ability to make a quick change is important.  The real estate market in Portland Oregon has heated up, and homes in desired locations, in good condition and presented well to buyers can make the difference between a quick sale and one that might linger.

We were contacted by homeowners whose home had previously been on the market without any offers. They said the feedback they’d heard was that their home appeared a little dated. They knew that buyers likely saw some dated furniture and just presumed the house was dated, too.

In reality, the house itself was in excellent condition and just needed a few updates in how it was presented for their target buyer.  This is where consulting with a professional home stager can make a big difference!

Here’s “Before” & “After” photos showing how this home was a Quick Change Artist & sold in 2 days:
 
 
 
 
 

The sellers requested that we bring in some updated furniture & accessories, and the house was transformed in just a few hours at a very reasonable cost. It received multiple offers and sold in just two days!

In many parts of the country (including Portland) home staging has become an established real estate marketing tool.  Why?  Because staged homes look better than vacant homes (or messy occupied ones), and “visual appeal” is important to buyers.
