This is a follow up to last weeks posting on July 9 Staging a Five Bedroom Foreclosure - Before and After Photos.

Synergy Staging Portland Oregon

The home was staged on Saturday, June 27, then listed and open on Sunday, June 28. Shortly thereafter an offer was made and accepted. The home not only sold, but closes tonight - 20 days later. We de-staged the home today and look forward to working with the investor on their next property.

There is a magic combination of staging and price, prior to the first showing, that results in quick sales and happy clients. Yes - Staging Works!

David -- It's wonderful to hear of more success stories in our area! We've had many quick sales too and I think it proves how much staging has contributed to meeting our clients' goals. Nice shot of the table BTW.

Nicely done, David. I love it that you were able to get something going for such an inexpensive house. I'm always being asked if staging is possible for cheap homes: are the margins there? I'd love to hear your thoughts on that ---

Lori ~ Glad you like that close up. I'll be trying to post more of those soon.

Juliet ~ There are definitely margins on cheaper homes. Of course it does depend on the situation and how much equity the owners have in the property. We always try to work with our clients budgets (within reason) to get the best possible result.

Kate ~ Thank you!

David: Great news on getting that property sold so quickly. Had it been on the market a long time before staging, or do the sellers understand how important staging is and have it staged from the begining?

I had a little trouble getting to the front door with that colour sideing ... but you won me over with the decor inside. Wonderful job of making it inviting.
