I've been wanting to get this out since last week but finally have a moment to sit down and share the fabulous news! Stage a Star had the opportunity to stage a house last week and I shared the before and after pictures in my last blog post "Grandma's Stylin' Now: See What Staging Can Do With Dated Furnishings"
Well...I'm happy to report that the first buyer that viewed the property made an offer! ONE DAY after it was staged and then professionally photographed, it was listed and UNDER CONTRACT! And even better...the offer was for 99.96% of the asking price! It doesn't get any better than that!
One of our very best Realtor clients was the driving force behind this successful sale. She knew that in order for this property (that was filled with dated furnishings) to appeal to buyers, staging was the key. She was right on the money too. The first buyer that walked through made a great offer. It's set to close in a couple of weeks. She and her seller clients are THRILLED!
After the staging, I received this kind email from the Realtor:
Teresa,
The seller is thrilled with the staging. The seller sent me an email after she saw the photos and wrote, "It looks like a model home". We had several showings scheduled for the day after we listed. The first buyers that viewed the home made an offer and wanted an answer within hours. They knew there was several other showings and didn't want this one to get away. I'm happy to tell you that it is under contract. Staging made all the difference!
Thank you Teresa. It's so great that you have this God given talent! You are the best!
Take a look at those before and after photos above.
- Did Staging and Professional Photography make an incredible difference?
- Do you think the potential buyers would have been impressed and fallen in love with this home if they walked into the "before" photos instead?
I don't think so.
If you've been on the fence about staging your property or listing, this staging success should convince you that staging does work. It really does folks!
Happy Staging!
