In today's challenging real estate market, it's nice to be able to share some GOOD NEWS!

This lovely vintage 1925 home was listed on January 12th and had an accepted offer by January 24th!  Prior to listing, the sellers contacted Room Solutions Staging in Portland OR for advice on preparing their home for sale, and we provided them with a list of recommendations that were easy, quick, and inexpensive.  When we returned to stage this charming home, we staged three bedrooms with layouts that might have been considered "challenging" by potential buyers.  Here's some Before & After photos of what we did to prepare this home for a quick sale ...

This main floor bedroom was being used as an office, but in order for potential buyers to "see" it as a bedroom, it needed some simple staging ...

A spacious upstairs bedroom was shown as a storage area, so we staged it as a Master or Guest Bedroom using a few of the owners' pieces and adding some of our own accessories and smaller items ...

In the converted attic, there was another space that may have been confusing to a buyer, but we saw it as a Child's Bedroom & Play area ....

Sellers & Realtors ~ Remember to contact your local home staging professional for a cost-effective Consultation before listing your property ... it WILL make a difference in how buyers perceive your home!  You'll find talented & experienced home staging professionals to partner with right here on A/R.

As professional home stagers we work with a variety of clients (realtors, homeowners & investors) but some of our favorite clients are bachelors ... they often need our help as a resource to prepare their homes for sale.

Room Solutions Staging in Portland Oregon was recently contacted by the listing broker of this 1908 vintage farmhouse bungalow, who asked if we could help the bachelor owner;  he had basic furniture but needed accessories, art & some addtional furnishings.  We met the delightful bachelor owner of this charming home and gave him our recommendations for easy cosmetic repairs, a list of items to remove, and scheduled our staging day for two weeks later.  When we returned, he'd moved out all of the "excess" furniture, hired a cleaning company, completed some painting & landscaping ~ and the home was ready to stage.  We enjoyed this transformation and hope you do as well.

You've seen the typical bachelor's home with a big TV in the living room ~ this home was no exception; we wanted to open up the space so that buyers could imagine living here, so the TV had to go ...

Another view of the living room from the entry hall showed a lack of color & energy ....

Master Bedrooms need to appeal to the target buyers, especially women viewers ...

And who can forget that women buyers are interested in a clean, tidy kitchen?

And we'd all like to have a gracious Dining room for entertaining family & friends ....

This basement wasn't being shown to its fullest potential so we repurposed the owner's existing pieces to show buyers how the space might be used ...

Homeowners who partner with their listing agents and hire professional home stagers will benefit by having a home that is prepared to SELL in today's challenging market!  You can find talented home stagers right here on A/R to help you ... look better than your competition!

After this property had been on the market for a few weeks, the listing agent suggested the seller contact Room Solutions Staging in Portland OR for a home staging proposal for this 1916 bungalow.  There was dated carpeting in the living & dining rooms, and old venetian blinds that concealed beautiful leaded & beveled glass windows. 

The first photo is how the house was shown online before;  the sellers agreed to remove the carpeting and refinish the beautiful hardwood floors as we recommended.  During staging we removed the blinds to let in the light and to showcase the beautiful leaded windows ...

Sellers who want their properties to SELL should contact a professional home staging company to advise what is necessary to make their home market ready.  We often find that for a minimal investment, a few changes can yield a maximum return.
