Staging: Before and After

If you want home buyers to get excited about purchasing your home, then it needs to look it’s very best!

Most people don’t want to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a “fixer upper” that needs fresh paint and flooring…they want “move in ready.”

But most of us don’t live in a home that looks like a builder’s model! The way you live comfortably in your home is not how you should stage your home for sale. πŸ™‚Β 

I can provide small-scale staging services for my full-fee clients, as shown in the following examples. If you need premium furniture (for higher-end or luxury homes) then you will probably need to engage a professional home stager.


TRUE Video Tours
To see one of my best video tours (where no staging was necessary) check this out!

 


Staging Project 1

Here’s one example of a home staging project I did for a lovely home owner/client and the professional photography that I arranged. We received multiple offers in 3 days. That’s how you do it! I also helped this home owner save thousands of dollars by using a local flooring company that I recommended ($9000) vs Home Depot or Lowes ($22,000-24,000). This is why you should contact me EARLY…before you spend too much money on your house. πŸ™‚Β

Staging Project 2

Here’s another example of a “lived in” home that I staged using their existing furniture. When I work with occupied homes, I create a Staging Plan for the home owners, showing exactly what items to remove, so they know how to prepare for “Staging Day.” I also helped this home owner get multiple estimates from local painters in order to select the best one for their project.

Staging Project 3

While being only one year old, this home needed a few things to make it more “homey.” This house went under contract in less than a week and the buyers told us, at the Closing, that the colors and staging is what sold the house!

By the way, this home was sold to out-of-town buyers who saw my video tour. They didn’t see the house in-person until the day before Closing. I have sold approximately 15 homes to out-of-town/state/country buyers through my TRUE video tours.

Staging Project 4

Here’s an example of a home staging project I did for a vacant home. I used to do my own photography, but now I hire a professional photographer for my listings.

REALTORS DON’T “JUST” SELL HOUSES

Real estate agents don’t “just” sell houses; we sell a SERVICE to effectively guide home buyers and sellers through the entire real estate transaction, which usually takes several months. We are more like real estate consultants than we are salespeople. That’s probably why 88 percent of all home buyers and sellers choose to hire a real estate agent when buying or selling a home!

Buying or selling a home is not like buying or selling a TV, a computer, or a car. You can’t buy/sell a home on the Internet with a couple of clicks. There are MANY legal aspects, deadlines, and requirements that most people are not trained to handle. What’s more…mistakes along the way can cost you thousands and even hundreds of thousands of dollars. The financial risk is much greater than just about anything else you may buy.

That’s why you need your own dedicated, experienced real estate agent
looking out for YOUR best interests.
