This modest home in Beaverton, OR was staged by our team one recent Saturday. The owner had moved out of state and the home had been a rental for a couple of years. His listing agent contacted me for a home staging proposal after the home was freshly painted and new carpeting was installed. There were several homes in this development with the same floorplan already on the market, but they weren't professionally staged. We staged the key "impact" rooms in this home ... here are a few photos of a couple of them ....
RESULT? SOLD in THREE WEEKS!
The listing agent contacted me and said, "Please leave me a pile of your business cards. This was really KICK-A$$ staging and I will be referring my future clients to you!"
Hmmm ... let's see .... can I repeat that on my website's Testimonials page?

Great results. . .definitely staging works!
Congratulations on the great job. Wish you good luck in 2009.
Good job Maureen....empty is not so much...furniture, eye candy, and most importantly...offers !
Fernando ~ It's so good to hear this from an experienced Realtor!
Gita ~ Thanks for your good wishes. Hope you're having a great year too.
Sally & David ~ I know you believe in staging too -- thanks for your positive feedback.
I can see why the home sold quickly, Great job, Maureen. Love to see before and after photos.
Hi Margaret ~ Thanks, we love them too -- especially when they result in a quick sale!
Homes show so much nicer when they have some character in them and not a vacant wide open room. I have one that needs it bad.
Laura ~ Most would agree with you! I hope you find a great local stager to work with -- have you checked here on A/R?
Maureen your pictures speak volumes. We totally get staging and offer to pay 3 hours FREE for our sellers.
Since many buyers cannot visualize a room furnished, your photos are the proof for the listing agents that staging works and sellers would be wise to hire a stage. Very Nice.
Maureen your staging says it all, a professional who can get a home sold quickly! Congratulations.
Maureen, staging works! New home builders have known this for a long time. You did a good job.
Beautiful staging job, I like all the warm tones. Congratulations on your success!
Hi Maureen, Congrats..
Best - Sash
That is an happy client!! LOL! One more great stat for your company! Congrats!!
It looks great!! Congrats on a Kick A$$ staging job :))
Maureen I wonder if he's promoting you as his Kick A$$ stager? It would certainly get some attention and knowing Realtors that would probably get you even more business. Personally I think I would put it in my testimonials...but remember I live in Hickville and these folks can truly relate to Kick A$$. Great job!
Hi Maureen, You may have just earned yourself a nick name. LOL
Great job! And congrats on the quick sale.
Janice ~ Good for you! What a wonderful benefit you're providing your clients with staging.
Mary ~ thanks so much for your feedback. The proof that staging works can be compelling.
Leolinda ~ Since looking at empty, boring rooms won't encourage an offer, staging is a great way to capture attention. Your comments are appreciated!
Thanks Michael ~ You're right .... builders have known about the power of staging their models for years. Now everyone can do it.
Sara ~ Color is always good to add to a home with light paint colors ... it adds energy and life.
Sash ~ Nice to hear from you, and thank you.
Cathy ~ Very happy, yes! We love those quick sales for our stats.
Wendy ~ LOL that sounds so funny ....
Ginger ~ I was even hesitant to put it in my post! But it's what he said so .... maybe I should add it?
Donna ~ Now don't go getting any ideas, my friend!! LOL
I LOVE his TESTIMONIAL. How right on and clever! Just like your staging! :-)l
Oh Maureen, now I won't be able to get this "new name" for you out of my head! My vote: YES, use it on your testimonial page! There will be people who will really respond to the title this Realtor gave you. You earned it!
Karen ~ Glad to hear you approve of my using it then -- thanks!
Peg ~ Thanks for your opinion, I value it and feel OK about using his comment now.
Maureen,
As always beautiful Staging!!! I just love the enthusiasm this Realtor has. That enthusiasm will spread quickly. This is such a great success story! I wish you many more just like it. I'll be watching for the next one which I am sure will be soon! All the best to you Maureen, you are an "Awesome Stager".
Linda ~ I thought his enthusiasm was really fun too, and we need more Realtors with this much energy. Thanks for your nice comments.
Just think if that realtor put that term in a poem -
Dear Maureen
You're an Irish Lass
Your latest staging
Was simply KICK-A$$
Congrats again!
Very funny, Maureen! It certainly will stand out on your testimonials page! Perhaps you have a new tagline for your business?
Kate ~ Well now -- you're not only a talented stager but a witty poet as well -- I love what you wrote! :-)
Laurie ~ That would be quite a tagline, wouldn't it? Give people something to remember!
Maureen, You did a fabulous job and I'd use it as a testimonial! Although the pictures and quick sale speak for themselves I think it's quite a well deserved compliment!
Maureen, Your staging was great and that testimonial was straight from the heart. Congrats!!

This is awesome, Maureen. And.... I would proudly put this on my testimonial page.
Congratulations. Your post is being featured in the group; Staging Before & After Pictures.
Kathy
I like your before and after pictures. The design you used was simple but elegant.
Nice job.

Barb ~ It's great to hear from another Realtor that you endorse staging -- you're right that most buyers can't imagine how a space could look when previewing homes online.
Kathy ~ OK then, I'll use this unusual testimonial! Thanks for the feature.
Frank ~ in a modest home like this, simple design is best. Thanks for your feedback.
HI Maureen, love the changes and love your new nick name! Yes, yes, yes use it on your testimonial page!
Hi Michelle ~ Thanks for weighing in with your "vote" to use this testimonial. It will be different, that's for sure!
Hi Maureen, That is hysterical, I love it!!! I would so use the testimonial the way it stands because it fits me, as long as you're comfotable with go with it :o)
Hi Cynthia ~ OK -- glad to hear you think it's alright to use this as a home staging testimonial. Thanks for your feedback!
M: I would put that testimonial at the top of your page.... A GREAT BRAGGING TESTIMONIAL!!!!
Hey Todd -- That would be really funny! I'll think about it ... thanks for your input.
What an awesome testimonial and from the pictures, I can see why the buyers loved it. Staging does work, we need to talk!
Todd ~ So glad to hear that you believe in the power of staging ~ Yes, it does work! Let me know if I can help you or your clients ... would love to talk anytime.
The Realtor can call it what he wants..... :-)....it works. Glad you have convinced another person that staging works! Nicely done
