STAGED PROPERTY SELLS IN 42 DAYS

By
Home Stager with Salazar Staging & Custom Interiors

This is a perfect example of the success of staging.  These clients brought in Salazar Staging because they wanted advice.  They followed our suggestions for some fresh paint (see if you can find it) and then had us come in and stage a majority of the rooms.  They allowed us to move out almost all of their furniture and bring in new arrangements that highlighted this family home.  Staging helped target their market (families) and get away from the bare bones appeal that has such a limited audience.

The home sold in 42 days, despite the fact that there were (and still are) 4 other houses on their block that are for sale.  We can only wish that all sellers could grasp the value of staging and realize that using these services will definitely shorten their stay on the market.

We are very thrilled for these clients - they deserved a quick sale and they got one!

 

THE LIVING ROOM LACKED WARMTH SO FURNISHING AND ACCESSORIZING REALLY HELPED.

Melody: You did a wonderful job! It looks like it was a lot of hard work with an outcome so very worth it - no doubt it made the other homes on the block, still for sale, look even worse!

Your work is amazing!  No wonder this house sold so quickly.  You should get a huge commission!  Thanks for sharing.

Oh MY!!  Fabulous transformation.  No question as to why it sold when the others on the block are still for sale.  You brought so much elegance to the home with your staging.  Beautiful work Melody.  Congrats!

I don't know what's happening, or if this is happening to others who blog.  I am starting to get spam posts like this one from Ronn (above).  I've reported the problem, but it continues to happen.  I'm worried about a virus.  Who are these people infiltrating our wonderful blogging world???

Anyone else had this happen?
