Yet another AMAZING staging success story! Realtors and home sellers, don't wait to stage your listing, please consider doing so before your first Open House. These clients, reluctant at first, listened and SOLD!!

I will never forget when I went on the consultation for this home. Having worked with the listing agent before, she was confident that I would not only be able to convince the clients on staging their home but she knew that if the home was not staged she would have a problem selling it. Upon entering the home I was greeted by a very friendly homeowner. I was also met with much resistance and every suggestion I made she would adamantly turn to me and say "We're not doing anything"

I still proceeded to walk from room to room and continued making suggestions and joking and saying but I know you're not doing anything, right?? "You got it" she would remark. The realtor kept telling her to listen and then reminded her that my staging company has their own team of guys that can do it all, let's just see what she has to say.

I felt the ice melting and my suggestions seemed to start making sense to her. Okay, we're good, right, NOPE...enter her husband. I was met with the same resistance and same line..Oh I am not doing anything. The difference now was that his wife would turn to him and say, but honey, you don't have to, her team will!!

Well, they did hire ReStyled to Sell to do the necessary work and I got a call from the realtor last Saturday saying they have an offer coming in on Monday morning. This listing never made it to the MLS.

The first buyer that walked into the property bought it for $20K over asking. HONESTLY, they loved it!! I called my clients to jump for joy with them and they said it was the best money THEY EVER SPENT on staging their home.

While I would love to show you pictures, I cannot because the day the property SOLD was the day I was going back with the realtor to take my after shots..

Sellers and realtors alike must have an open mind to all that we, as professional home stagers, suggest. In this home the 70's wallpaper went, the cracks and holes in ceiling and/or walls were repaired, walls were painted a warmer color, furniture was rearranged, bathrooms were cleaned, closets were decluttered, items were moved to storage. You name it WE DID IT!! All of us worked as a team and the sellers DID HELP!!

That is the beauty about hiring a home stager. We get you started. Moving is an overwhelming process and most times people do not know where to begin. Once my team of ReStyled to Sell Home Staging NJ starts the process for you, the task does not seem so overwhelming. Let our Home Staging Company help you MOVE ON!

Great!   Home staging is the way to go with an empty house.

Phyllis, GREAT blog!  I can't believe you didn't make it back in time to take the pictures, THAT is a TRUE success story in anyone's book!  I think of the story told to me by a Real Estate Agent of a home close to me that was staged and the buyers got into a bidding war....and it went for over asking price.  Wonderful stories....
