Home Staging in Portland Oregon Blog

How do you bring a 1970'q home to the 21st century?  First, call a Home Stager in Portland Oregon.

Our Portland-based home staging company has worked on hundreds of homes, but this one in Lake Oswego Oregon was quite a transformation.  (Every day across North America this scenario plays out:  the client contacts a local professional home stager for a proposal to help prepare their home for the market.  In this case, it was an estate and the family wasn't sure if they should do any repairs or painting.)

When I walked through this house, I could hear it telling me "I'm actually much prettier ~ I have great potential!"  It's true that homes we stage "talk" to us -- so I've learned to listen to them :-).  This home wanted to be much more attractive, and it deserved it.  It's in a very desirable Lake Oswego Oregon neighborhood on a 3/4 acre lot.  When the client gave us the green light for staging, first we provided them with a lengthy "To Do" list which included painting, replacing light fixtures, changing out hardware, replacing flooring, installing new carpeting, deep cleaning every surface, etc.  They were so motivated and got right to work!  We selected the paint colors and the work began ....

UPDATE:  This home was staged, listed & SOLD in just 40 days -- much faster than our local DOM average of 142!  The seller wrote to us:   "Thanks Maureen for all your expert advice and creative design.  It really made all the difference in being able to sell my parents' home so quickly!"

Here are some Before & After photos of this staging project ...  in the living room you saw white walls, white brick fireplace, old carpeting, a hodge-podge of furnishings -- no real opportunity for a buyer to make an emotional connection and fall in love with this home...

Soft brown neutral colors on the walls & fireplace, and new carpeting instantly updated this home.

In the master bedroom white walls & old carpeting didn't invite buyers to move right in ...

In the dining room we advised replacing the brass chandelier with something more modern, plus paint & new carpet ...

A small bedroom is perfect for an Office - after removing the dated wallpaper & short curtains, and painting ...

The family room lacked buyer appeal "before" but like the rest of this home, had great POTENTIAL ...

If your home is languishing in the last century and needs an update .... contact your local home staging professional for help!  Be prepared to do some hard work and you'll be rewarded with increased buyer interest.  Don't forget the importance of good photos for the online listing ~ our company provides photos as part of our home staging services.

We've staged two other foreclosed homes for this smart and savvy bank and have posted about them here on A/R.

This new construction home has been vacant and on the market for 2 years before we recently staged it ... here are some Before & After photos.  Don't you agree that potential buyers would find the "after" version more appealing -- and want to write an offer?

I hope this will encourage both agents and home stagers to contact your local banks and talk to them about the benefits of staging foreclosed properties.  It's a win-win partnership for the banks, the neighborhood, and the community!

(By the way, the first foreclosed home we staged for this bank was on the market for over 2 years, and sold within 38 days of staging!)

The Bank selected a great team of agents to market this lovely property!
