your Home's Best Features when it's Vacant   </strong></p> <p><strong>This Portland Home was on the Market for 7 Months ~ Then Staged &amp; Sold in 1 Week!</strong></p> <p><strong><img title="portland oregon real estate stagers" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/8/1/1/0/1/ar132794776310118.jpg" height="333" alt="portland oregon real estate stagers" width="500"></strong></p> <p>When your home or listing is on the market, remember that a<strong> vacant home</strong> (no matter how nice it is) <strong>doesn't include an important ingredient ("emotion") from the buyer's point of view.</strong>  Here's a good example ... a <strong>beautiful new home in Portland was on the market from May through December 2011 without a sale.</strong>  It was Vacant, and buyers just didn't "connect" with this lovely upscale home, even though it had multiple price reductions.</p> <p><strong>The</strong> <strong>sellers then contacted our <a href="http://www.roomsolutions.com/portland-home-staging.html" title="Portland OR home staging">Portland home staging company</a> and within 7 days of staging, it was under contract!</strong></p> <p>Since this happens time and time again, we know that <strong>staging enables buyers to imagine living in the home.</strong>  A <strong>well-staged home</strong> <strong>does the following:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Clearly defines each room's function  </strong></li> </ul> <ul> <li><strong>Has a good traffic flow from one room to the next</strong></li> </ul> <ul> <li><strong>Properly highlights each room's focal point <br></strong></li> </ul> <ul> <li><strong>Showcases the home's best features so that Buyers can "see" what living there would be like</strong></li> </ul> <ul> <li><strong>Allows Buyers to connect with the home on an emotional level</strong></li> </ul> <p>We're delighted that <strong>this home sold so quickly after staging</strong> (as are the sellers).  Here are some <strong>Before &amp; After photos</strong> that we think <strong>illustrate why <span>home staging is such an effective marketing tool</span>.</strong></p> <p>The <strong>dining room</strong> is a spacious, light-filled room ... <img title="portland real estate staging"

few<strong> smart banks in Portland Oregon </strong>realized that by<strong> cleaning up these homes, staging them </strong>and listing them with<strong> realistic prices ~ </strong>they'd have a much<strong> better chance of selling.  By selling these foreclosed homes more quickly, neighborhood values have been preserved as much as possible, </strong>and lucky buyers have<strong> snapped up

sometimes ask <strong>if they should stage their home after they move out</strong>, wondering if it would look bigger when it's vacant.  We believe the answer lies in the <strong>photos that show a home lived in, then vacant after the family moved out, and finally when staged</strong> by our <a href="http://www.roomsolutions.com/portland-home-staging.html" title="portland oregon home staging"><strong>Portland OR home staging company</strong></a>.</p> <p>When we live in our homes, we make the spaces work for us, but <strong>when it's time to sell, we have to think like a

of a home that we staged recently, showing all three phases (<strong>lived in - vacant - staged</strong>)</p> <p>In the <strong>living room:</strong> <strong>Defining the room's function

&amp; Staging Help</strong></p> <p>This is one of the rooms in a <strong><a href="http://www.roomsolutions.com/portland-home-staging.html" title="home staging portland oregon">Portland OR home we staged</a></strong> last week ... but the transformation is quite dramatic!  Not only that, it<strong> was quick and easy, </strong>too ~ something<strong> anyone could do before putting your home on the market.</strong></p> <p>The main floor bedroom was <strong>being used by the sellers as a home office</strong> -- perfect use for the space.  It was <strong>painted about 8 years ago when dark red was a very popular color.  </strong>It was also <strong>overstuffed</strong> with furniture, <strong>making the space look much smaller</strong> than it really was.</p> <p>Here's how the <strong>office looked BEFORE</strong> <img title="home staging beaverton oregon" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/5/0/7/6/ar132529686567056.jpg" height="300" alt="home staging beaverton oregon" width="400"></p> <p>We recommended a <strong>lighter paint color to brighten up the room</strong>, and removal of the existing furniture.  We then staged it lightly, letting <strong>buyers see the function of this space as an office</strong>.</p> <p>And here's how it looked<strong> AFTER <img title="beaverton house staging" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/1/2/6/4/3/ar13256263634621.jpg" height="416" alt="beaverton house staging" width="625"> </strong></p> <p><strong>For a minimal investment, buyers don't

http://homestagingportlandoregon.com/post/1194117/home-staging-tips-for-sellers-in-portland-oregon-use-color-when-staging-a-child-s-room <p>Are you <strong>selling a home in Portland Oregon</strong> and want to make sure it <strong>appeals to potential buyers</strong>?  Consider using a <strong>professional home stager to help you prepare your home </strong>to make it irresistible.  We offer easy <strong>cost-effective home staging tips </strong>in the form of a <a href="http://www.roomsolutions.com/gfx/stats.png" title="Home staging in Portland Oregon"><strong>home staging consultation proven to reduce market time</strong></a> or <strong>"hands on" staging </strong>to make sure your home shows beautifully for buyers.</p> <p>Here's a <strong>home staging tip</strong> that we often share with our clients ....<strong> Color</strong> is one way to make a <strong>big impact for a small investment!  </strong>Using color helps buyers make an emotional connection to a home.  Color can influence a buyer's mood and bring back good memories as well.</p> <p>In these<strong> Before &amp; After photos</strong> you'll see how a bland, plain-vanilla space was transformed into <strong>rooms that appeal </strong>to both parents and kids ... the <strong>color makes it come alive </strong>and says "your child will love living in a room like this."</p> <p><img title="Home Staging Tips in

added life to a white, sterile space that the builder wanted to show as a child's room.</p> <p><img title="Home staging tips in Beaverton OR"

asked us to stage this room as a child's bedroom since the target buyer was a family with young children (this home had only 2 bedrooms) and the home had been on the market vacant for nearly a year.  <strong>Color</strong> helped the room come alive -- resulting in a <strong>quick sale after staging!</strong></p> <p><img title="Home staging portland OR"

sheets in the comforter set to make an impromptu headboard as well as valances for the windows -- to add more <strong>color</strong> to this room.  This <strong>home sold in just one month!</strong><img title="home in portland oregon needs staging" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/9/3/8/3/0/ar125030178503839.jpg" height="225" alt="home staging portland oregon"
