Vacant Shows the Flaws!

Wow, did this cute bungalow in Columbia, SC need staged! I couldn't help but notice all the flaws throughout the house when I priced the house while it was vacant. Also the empty rooms looked so small!

Now that I've staged the house, buyers can focus on how cute it will look when they move in with their funishings - and how much room they have to fit their company. I'm hoping for a fast sale. It was listed with no offers for several months.

Joan,

Beautiful work!!! All your colors work great together.

You are right about all the flaws showing in a vacant home...and not that we ever hide them. They just aren't as noticeable when the home is Professionally Staged. Great job!!!

What a difference the stagingmakes. That should help the sale; no doubt. It's amazing how the furniture makes the room look bigger.

Nice job, Joan! Professional staging makes such a difference in the price buyers are willing to pay as well as the length of time it takes to get those offers.

I'm no stager, but it is interesting to see this in effect. I'm selling condos and the bedroom sizes are identical in each unit. in one we had a king-size bed and the clients commented on how large it was. In the next we had no furniture and they said it looked smaller :)

Yes, Vacant homes show all the nail holes from photos, staged homes that are priced well always sell faster than their vacant competition. Worth the effort and the investment.

Hi Joan, Staging can make all the difference as this picture clearly shows!

Hi Joan~ Gosh, how I wish every home was staged! It would make every body's lfe a whole lot easier!

Joan, The Dining room look great. We (Stagers) wished that every home was staged as well. Good luck!

Joan, great Staging job and you brought out an important point about vacant homes. .. people will focus on the flaws if there's nothing else to look at.

Here's to a quick sale.

You are right. The house shows much better furnished and staged.

Joan, Looks great! And you are so right about seeing all the flaws in a vacant home. Just had the same situation myself with a Realtor friend of mine. While the furniture was still in her family home she thought all was well but, as soon as it was removed she new it had to be staged before it hit the market.
