before and after: Monster Project, Monster Results - 09/26/09 09:52 AM
This was a project that we could not wait to share with you.
We worked on this project for four months. Before our client purchased the property it was used as a half-way house for recovering addicts. A great cause but its located in the heart of an established neighborhood and … (23 comments)

before and after: The Words that Stagers Hate To Hear - 09/11/09 10:03 AM
It doesn't happen often, but when it does it gives me a stomach ache.
We were on a job earlier this week when my Blackberry did the little jingle it does when an email has come through. I stopped hanging the new fixture Danny was just adjusting over the dining table … (32 comments)

before and after: Success = one bachelor, several good furnishings and a dash of the Right Stager - 09/09/09 11:57 AM
This wasn't our client's first Rodeo, as my assistant Maya likes to say. The homeowner has been through the staging process before with another Realtor/Staging team in 2008. He thought he knew what was coming and was prepared when we met for our consultation.
He had cleaned out the clutter, painted … (22 comments)

before and after: The Homeowner Resisted, but the Realtor Insisted - 09/07/09 09:39 AM
This charming bungalow had all the right touches. Beautiful molding and hardwood floors. Custom tile in the bathrooms and granite counters in the kitchen. New appliances and a gorgeous fireplace. The backyard was spacious with a massive deck for multiple uses. Even with all of these fabulous features the Realtor insisted … (20 comments)

before and after: I Love Color - I Live with Color - But Selling with too much Color Doesn't Work! - 08/29/09 12:16 PM
Staged to Sell was given the opportunity this summer to work with a client on a cozy condo in a very popular development in the Oakland Hills. We have been working in this particular development for years and have seriously worked on this particular model several times before with much success. … (27 comments)

before and after: Small yes, Liveable YES! - 08/20/09 09:49 AM
This small but charming condo was on the market just five days when it received two offers way over asking. The Realtor Nancy Deverel with Hitchcock Realty did an amazing job of educating the homeowners on the need for staging. The smaller the house, the greater the need.
We only have … (13 comments)

before and after: Don't gamble with your client's equity - 11/18/08 07:38 PM
A vacant house does not sell as well as a staged property. By now we think everyone knows this concept right? Nope. I still get calls all the time asking if I REALLY think its necessary to stage a vacant home. I always tell them 'go to my website and take … (5 comments)

before and after: Every inch of a home is important - even storage areas - stage them all when selling! - 11/18/08 07:22 PM
Even the small odd rooms that are used as storage rooms can be transformed by a professional stager. Every aspect of a home is important during the selling process. Remember you are selling the entire house not just the main floor. Take a room that you use to take for granted. … (14 comments)

before and after: Hippie decor was "in" during the 60's but it's 2008 People! - 10/04/08 07:11 PM
I love before and afters. The reason is that after working on a project, sometimes for months, we tend to forget really what it looked like before we got our hands on it.
After the staging we take our photos, list them on or site, send them to our … (24 comments)

before and after: A lot of cabinets, a little paint and behold a beautiful kitchen - 08/01/08 01:34 AM
A lovely home in the Berkeley hills. Beautiful appilances and lots of
natural light, but the cabinets were all wrong for this great space.
An easy fix. Paint with using a white base with a gray tint. New
handles and ta da!
Not sure what to do with … (14 comments)

before and after: Being Sensitive to Teenagers and their Rooms - 07/20/08 11:32 PM
A teenager's room with lots of personality and clutter...not a perfect scenario for market. How do you keep the essences of the room, but prepare it for market? Hire a Professional Stager, of course!
Before Staged to Sell
After Staged to Sell
Still full of personality, but open, airy … (6 comments)

before and after: On the market cold and empty with no interest, now it's Staged and GORGEOUS! - 06/18/08 11:31 PM
COLD, COLD, COLD...
This condo has been on the market empty and cold and unappealing for a while now. The wonderful Realtor found us on Active Rain and had us come over to see what we could do. Given the opportunity we worked our magic and everyone seems very happy … (8 comments)

before and after: Rule of Thumb: Less is Best or is it? - 04/27/08 12:11 PM
These homeowners are avid fans of HGTV. Heck with 87 million viewers who isn't a fan of HGTV? They knew the property was going up for sale and they knew a stager was coming to over to take a look. They decided to prepare it just like they were told to … (4 comments)

before and after: FROM: Cluttered and dated TO: Fresh, Clean and Spacious - 04/24/08 12:37 AM
We staged a property today for a very nice couple. Like most of our jobs we started the project a little over a month ago. Fresh paint, list of items to be removed, cleaners, window washers and carpet cleaners hired. There were still a few things to do before the open … (12 comments)

This is a lovely home. The client had put everything, and I mean everything, away prior to Staged to Sell coming and doing our preview/consultation at the request of Julie Long of J. Rockcliff Realtor in Danville, CA. She had listened to her friends and thought it was best to get … (18 comments)

before and after: Out of date and moldy carpet Moraga, California - 04/06/08 06:30 PM
I can FLAT OUT tell you without a doubt that a listing with a bad smell, awful carpet and out of date kitchens, light fixtures and chipped paint will not sell at a good price. Hands down I can also tell you that a little investment goes a long way. We replaced … (30 comments)
