This smart and savvy bank knows that staging works! All of the homes we’ve staged for them have been on the market for one to three years, and all of them sell quickly after staging.  The bank wins because they liquidate their inventory, the neighborhoods win because property values are maintained, and the buyers win because they get a gorgeous home for a great price.

Here are some Before & After photos of this beautiful home … it seems to “come to life” once it’s staged and that is what buyers are reacting to.  Who can get excited about an empty shell?

In the entry below — staging helps to pique the buyer’s interest to want to see more … 

The dining room needed privacy from the house next door and also needed staging to warm it up …

The master bedroom & spa bath had great features, but before staging you didn’t know where to look …

The TV room is found at the top of the stairs, but without staging, it felt like a “pass through” to bedrooms …

If your listing or vacant home is lingering on the market, call a professional home stager and be prepared for a SOLD sign!

Sellers often wonder what to do if the house next door is too close or if it doesn’t make the best first impression on buyers.  Buyers are known to form an opinion about whether or not they like the house in less than 10 seconds, so sellers have to remove anything  that could become “deal breakers” and stand in the way of a buyer making an offer.

We recently viewed this lovely, large home in an excellent upscale neighborhood in Tualatin, Oregon (a Portland suburb).  However, upon entering the home and walking down the hallway, one of the first main rooms a buyer would see is this dining room …

The house next door is nice as well, but it seems too close upon entering this room.  Even with window coverings added, you’d feel like you didn’t have enough privacy.  Buyers need to feel comfortable and secure when purchasing a home.

This quick GREEN solution was easy!

Adding ten arborvitae trees was the perfect eco-friendly solution … they fit easily in a narrow space and grow up rather than out.  These evergreen trees form a nice hedge and allow for privacy — and are much prettier than a fence (as well as much faster to install).  It took the landscape crew only about two hours to dig the trench for these arborvitaes and get them in the ground.  They require very little care as well (Oregon’s rain pretty much takes care of that).

On Wednesday last week, I received a call from one of our favorite repeat clients ~ they asked if I could look at a vacant new construction home right away and provide a quote for staging it.  Even though I had a full schedule, I made time to pick up the key and view the home.  That evening I emailed them my staging proposal and the next morning they accepted it.  I was thrilled — the house is gorgeous and I knew it would be a pleasure to stage it.  But … they wanted the staging completed two days from then!  (Yikes, it’s 4,100 sq ft and it’s going to take a ton of inventory!)

No problem …. I lined up my staging team and my transport team and selected all of the main furniture pieces, then stayed up late pulling all the right art and accessories, lamps, etc. and filled up my SUV with several loads.  Even though I had to de-stage another house on Friday I made sure that we took care of our repeat client no matter what. It goes without saying that when you’re in a service business, you do whatever is necessary.

Saturday morning we were at the property offloading more of the smaller items and waiting for the “truck” with all of the larger pieces to arrive.  Suddenly, several big flatbed trucks pulled up — loaded with 85 trees they’ll be planting on the property that day!  The landscape crew was very busy outside, while we were busy offloading and directing the movers.  In the midst of all of this hub of activity, my client (owner of the property) showed up unexpectedly to show the house to his wife, followed shortly afterward by the listing broker, who was there to take notes for the online listing.

After a long day, we’d finished staging this home … and since it was dark, I went back on Sunday to take my photos.  The end result was a happy client, a grateful listing agent, and hopefully some good will created by our being able to respond so quickly.  Professional home stagers across North America provide this same level of service every week to their clients.  We love what we do and we can’t wait to repeat this scenario again soon — so bring on the challenges and we’ll be there to create whatever magic is needed!

Here are some photos of our favorite rooms in this lovely home …
