 Enchanted Portland Home is Staged ~ and has a full price offer in 2 Days (Before & Afters) 

This very cute & charming English-style home was recently staged by our Portland home staging company with great results!  With an active family that included kids & pets, the sellers recognized that staging would make this home more appealing to today's demanding buyers.  First, we provided the sellers with a list of cosmetic fixes that needed to be completed to make it "move in ready."   We recommended painting, refinishing the hardwood floors, changing out a few light fixtures, and other easy fixes.  The sellers moved to their new home and the work began.  Once it was staged they had 12 showings and a full-price offer in just 2 days! 

Staging is not just painting and easy fixes, and it's not just bringing furniture in.  The best home staging includes both cosmetic improvements AND furnishings that will complement the house.  Since the demographic for this neighborhood and size home is another active family, we staged this Portland home with that target buyer in mind. 

Here are some photos of the home in the 3-step process:  Before any work was done; after the work was completed but before staging; and finally, staged.

The living room needed wall paint, refinished hardwood floors, removal of window coverings, painting of the fireplace screen, and a more open, spacious furniture layout ...    

The dining room has wonderful features, but it was hard to see all of them before ...

The bedroom got fresh paint, new carpeting, and less furniture to let its unique features shine through ...

Before it's time to list your home, remember to contact your local professional home staging expert. You'll gain valuable advice to help prepare your home to compete in today's challenging real estate market.  Investing a small amount before listing will pay off as it did for this seller, who sold for full price in just 2 days!

Home Staging in Portland Oregon is always a pleasure, but this project was especially enjoyable because this Hansel & Gretel cottage in the Alameda neighborhood has so much Old World charm and character!  Built in 1924, this home's style is described as "English Cottage" in the online listing.  The seller contacted Room Solutions Staging for a proposal and asked that we bring in some of our own home staging inventory to add to the seller's items.  Our  goal was to highlight the unique features of this home and maintain its unique charm while using accessory items to appeal to today's buyer.  Here are some Before & After photos of this enchanting home ...

This home staging project was memorable because although this vacant vintage 1940 home in Portland Oregon had some interesting architectural features, for some reason the house just didn't come "alive" until it was staged .... does that ever happen on your staging projects?

I recently staged a beautifully updated 1927 Craftsman bungalow for a repeat Investor client of mine in Portland Oregon.  As soon as I complete a home staging project like this one, I can't wait to compare the "Before" photos to the "Afters."  I guess you could say that seeing my client's postiive reaction and then the transformation in the photos is what I live for ~ it doesn't take much to make me happy!  How do you feel when you finish a staging project?

 The previous 3 homes that I staged for this client all sold within 30 days ~ so fingers are crossed for another success!
