Our first night of the Haunted house, sponsored by the Sierra Lions Club was a big success.  Dream Redesign and Home Staging Oakhurst CA

Here is a preview of just two of the attractions.

Located on Highway 49 at the top of the summit in Nipinawassee at Camp Pacifica.  The fun starts at 7 and continues until 10 pm.  Cost is $6 per person and includes free spooky movies and a gift drawing. 

 

When these property owners contacted my company,and I saw this kitchen, my first response was...."what's with this lighting?"  The owners response was, "every unit in the building is like this and they have been like this for 30 years."  In the past, renting this unit was easy but this time it had been sitting on the rental market for 4 months.  Change was in order.  They hired Dream Interior Redesign and Staging to update, stage and make it right for today's rental market.   

It took us three days to remove that plastic and aluminum fluorescent contraption, rewire, paint, install new lighting, add cabinet hardware and crown molding on the cabinets.  For three days work and approximately $150 in supplies, don't you agree that it's a BIG improvement.  We couldn't find one updated fluorescent fixture (code in So. Cal kitchens) that would put out as much light as the three we removed, but additional under cabinet lighting will be added soon.

Every autumn in North Fork, California you will find a friendly group of locals cooking chili.  This year and last year the North Fork Women's Club has sponsored this event.  Previously, the North Fork Fire Dept. Auxiliary sponsored the event for 5 years. 

If you like Chili, friendly competition and comraderie come to North Fork and experience autumn in the mountains. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This past week I made the trek to Huntington Beach California to stage an apartment For Rent.  In the past the owner of this unit had no trouble renting it in less than a month.  However, in this economy and with today's renter's expectations it had been sitting vacant for 4 months. 

So I crammed the van with as much as it would hold and we staged the most important rooms. 

Do you think that it will now appeal to more renters? 

Today is the Open House and I will hear the results tonight.  I have mixed feelings.  I don't want to make that 5 hour drive this next week to pick up my items BUT I would like to hear that it's rented.  (This was for a family member.)

We also made some drastic updating changes in the kitchen and I will post those photos soon.

Friday, Dream Interior Redesign and Staging got a call from a REA that wanted a consultation on her new listing.  Fantastic, I will await the call from the seller.  

Dream Redesigns and Real Estate Home Staging Oakhurst CAImmediately the seller called.  She explained that their family home had been listed with another agent for six months and they we so outraged with his lack of marketing and MORE, that they had to change listing agents.  This smart daughter helped her dad interview 3 agents.  She explained that the original listing agency attempted to replace the first agent with one of their "BETTER" agents but the sellers were so disgusted that they just had to start fresh with a new agent from a new brokerage. 

I asked her who they interviewed and all of those agents are active, busy agents. 

SO...WHAT got this agent the listing? 

She offered a free staging consultation with her listing package.  The seller told me, "that sealed the deal." She continued, "everyone was offering the same thing but this agent went a step further" and this was exactly what they wanted and needed.         

Here are two photos from this house: (Keep in mind this is how this house has been presented for SIX months, in person and in listing photographs)

ONE DAY later, the wallpaper is GONE and today they are shopping for paint and new light fixtures.  I know that the changes they are making will help them SELL THIS HOUSE quickly. 

Clearly, these sellers were VERY open to my staging suggestions and they remain disgusted that their first agent had never indicated that any changes would increase the appeal of this house and make it more marketable.  They WANTED open and honest feedback and that's what I gave them. 

Check back later for another post with more photos and results.   

SO REALTORS...if you haven't considered having a professional stager assist you with getting more listings AND making those listings stand out from the competition, CALL ONE TODAY. It just might be the best marketing dollars that you've ever spent on your listings.  

If you don't know a professional stager, start your search right here on Active Rain.
