This week we staged an occupied home where a dramatic change was made in the Living room.  Here's how it looked when I first viewed this property ... it's the first room you see as you enter this lovely home:

The sellers had a beautiful custom-made pool table in the living room and seemed a bit disappointed when I advised that buyers in this price point would be expecting a living room furnished to show how they might use this space to entertain ~ but they were also very motivated to ensure their home appealed to their target buyer.  They had the table professionally disassembled & packed for their upcoming move, and we brought in suitable furnishings to show the original function of this room ...

Make sure that your home shows the true function of each room for potential buyers ... consult with a professional home stager (check www.ActiveRain.com) for a great directory of stagers!

We recently staged a new construction home with a "country rustic" style on a half-acre lot in Portland Oregon ... our staging team fell in love with this house for several reasons  (one is that it has a 4-car garage that would be a stager's dream storage area!)  

Agents and Homeowners:  Showing an inviting furnished property in the online mls photos is much more likely to encourage a potential buyer to view the home in person.  Vacant rooms don't have the ability to capture the buyer's imagination the way that a staged property can. Call a professional stager in your area (you can find them right here on Active Rain) to help your property appeal to your target buyer.

Update:  This home was on the market from November 2007, staged in late March, and SOLD 3 weeks later!

Here are a few Before & After photos ...

This new construction home is full of quality craftsmanship .but had been on the market without any offers for over a month.  The sellers told us that buyers couldn't figure out how to place their furniture near the fireplace -- they thought it wasn't a large enough space.  Our staging proved that the space was larger than they thought!  Here are some photos of the staging of this home ....

Room Solutions Staging recently staged a vacant Portland home built in 1990 that was lovely in its day, but had very formal, heavy draperies and some dated wallpaper!  Here are some Before & Afters ... the photos are small but you get the general idea.

In the LIVING ROOM we not only removed the heavy mauve silk draperies & sheers, but also the wood mullions on the windows to update them -- so much more light comes through:

In the DINING ROOM, removing the heavy mauve drapery shows off the gorgeous custom window and lets in the light:

The MASTER BEDROOM wallpaper matched the valance on the draperies ~ but once the wall was painted and the draperies removed, the room seems much larger and brighter:

This home had been on the market for 6 months and SOLD soon after staging!
