How a Home Stager can ‘Tweak’ an Occupied Home // UPDATE: and under contract in less than a week!

Update:  This home went under contract in less than a week after staging and listing!!

Home staging isn’t complicated ~ sometimes all it takes for a home to look its very best for selling is the “magic touch” of a professional home stager.  We’re trained to use what the homeowner already has and make the most of it, adding new pieces as needed (and removing excess that can distract potential buyers).

As an example, here’s some Before and After photos of a recent Portland home staging project.  The sellers were living comfortably in their beautiful vintage Craftsman home, but recognized that staging it would help potential buyers see all the best features of this home, as well as the spacious rooms.  We started with a home staging consultation where the sellers were given advice on how to best present their home for selling.  They had some packing up to do, as well as completing a few easy cosmetic improvements.

In the Living room, we advised the sellers to move their large leather furniture into the family room and we used smaller pieces to allow for better traffic flow and to highlight the fireplace area … After, buyers notice the home’s charming features instead of the furnishings …

In the Dining room, we advised moving the exercise equipment, and we brought in a more fitting dining table …

A spare bedroom was turned into a child’s room using furniture the sellers already had …

The large living room furniture & flatscreen TV went to the family room in the basement, which now is a wonderful space …

These simple “tweaks” are all it takes to make homes look appealing for the online photos as well as in person …. so when your home or listing is on the market, contact your local professional home stager for advice.  We’re here to help!
