Recently a Portland, Oregon broker contacted me to discuss a lingering vacant listing -- the home had been actively on the market for an entire YEAR. Most buyers couldn't figure out which bedroom was the Master. The seller hired Room Solutions Staging to stage this 1937 English-style home. It had great bones but badly needed some pizazz, color, and more light.....The seller received two offers within one week of staging, and the house is SOLD ~ Staging works!
The LIVING ROOM felt dark and dreary before ... But was much warmer & inviting when Staged:
Buyers thought this BEDROOM was too small ...But once staged, could see that a Queen bed easily fit here:
This BATHROOM seemed cold & sterile Before ... And looked elegant when Staged:
The DINING ROOM color was a bit overwhelming ... But wasn't as offensive once it was Staged:

Steve ~ Thanks for stopping by....as stagers we do like our Before & After photos! How is business in the Silicon Valley these days?
Sonja ~ Thanks for your enthusiastic comment! It's great to have a happy ending isn't it?
Maureen that is just incredible and great job! I have to ask the question, because I am not educated on the subject. What is the cost of staging? (maybe just this example). If it does not sell right away after staging, is there a monthly charge?
Your business should be booming now!!!

That is fantastic and a great value!
Would you consider staging a home 3000 miles away? just kidding!
Maureen, you have got me ready to consider this for clients that are having a hard time.
Best of luck (you do not need luck) in your business!
Maureen -
Just an awesome job - you caught the home's "Bones" to perfection!!!

Julea ~ Thanks very much for stopping by. It was a fun house to stage since we knew it could be so much more inviting.

"Stemberry": a big disappointment.....no fruit, only stems.
Hi Maureen,
WOW, you did a great job! What a differance, congrats on the sale!!
Penny ~ Thanks, I guess the seller was pretty happy to finally get that place SOLD after a whole year on the market.....that would drive you crazy, don't you think?
Thanks CoCo for your comment....appreciate your stopping by! How's it going in your neck of the woods?
