All I did was....Home Staging Success Stories

head_left_image

All I did was declutter and add a neutral bed cover- university student bedrom

In this example I wanted to show Realtors and Homeowners that just a little time decluttering can have magical effects on the appearance of a room. How can you market what you can't see. A little time declutering can allow the buyer to see the size of the room and not stare in disbelief at all the personal belongings.

Advantage Staging will market your property to stand out from the competition every time.

The before and after photos of this property in Schomberg show what 15 minutes can accomplish to market a home and get it ready to be shown to buyers.

Investment, minimal.

Imact, priceless.

It looks so much better without all the clutter.  It is a great example

HI Russ, I was not happy that the walls remained purple but you have to admit it does look 100% better decluttered. The neutral bed cover helped to tone down the purple walls a bit. You work with the budget you are given and this one turned out pretty well as you noted.

Hi Michael, Pleaes feel free to send links of my blogs or my site to your sellers so they can see examples of Staging on a limited budget. It can be done. It's just all the shows on TV show such large budgets, the average homeowner doesn't think it is a service for them. This series I am blogging should help dispel those myths.

HI Sheila, okay you made me laugh right out loud when I read your post. I would gladly come to do your office. I will be in Minneapolis the first week of August. You pay the plane fare and I will come do your office. LOL!! :)

Priceless is right!

Hi Cindy, I lucked out with the student. This was her bedroom at home and her term was in session during the sale of the house. Lucky me!

Hi Amy, Staging is the key to getting the equity out of your house and apparently having an excuse to go into your adult children's rooms to do a tidy up with an excuse. The Stager said so!!  :)
