Cincinnati Homes: Home Staging Consultation Gets Results! SOLD in 22 hrs!

By
Home Stager with Cincinnati Home Stager

Did You Know...
That a Staging Consultation with a Professional Stager is worth its weight in gold when selling your home? Stage A Star had the opportunity to work with homeowners on the east side of Cincinnati this past May.  I was referred to them by real estate agent, Jason Bowman of Remax Elite.  I have had the pleasure of working with Jason for quite some time on all his listings he takes.  A Staging Consultation is included in his marketing plan and every seller client meets with me first to create a "plan of action" so they know exactly what they need to do to properly prepare and stage the house prior to being listed.


Let's Get Staging:
These particular homeowners were really wonderful to work with.  Like many of today's homeowners, they were very well versed on all the HGTV "staging to sell" shows and were eager to roll up their sleeves and get to work once they had the "plan of action" in hand.  

Wallpaper removal, painting and de-cluttering were at the top of the "action plan" along with some minor repairs and curb appeal suggestions.  By the time I left, the homeowners knew exactly what to do in each room.  This takes so much "stress" off the homeowner knowing that they received professional advice and a plan that will help get their home sold faster and for the most money possible.  


Staging Success:
I am happy to report that these happy homeowners received their offer in record time....just 22 hours after the house was listed (and for 99% of list price)!!   They worked hard to get all of the recommendations completed and boy did it pay off! The house closed just a few short weeks ago and they are enjoying their new home.  

Just one more Successful Staging Consultation that resulted in SOLD!  

Here's the Before and After Photos:

 

Teresa,
I just want to thank you for helping so many of my clients to get their home showing its very best. Since we have been 
your consultation service on every listing we take, the majority have been selling in under 60 days. With your help, my listing at 6217 N. Shadowhill Way in Loveland sold in 22 hours! Your staging consultation has been priceless to my seller clients, and the results prove it.

Here's a handful of his other listings that have resulted in faster sales because his listings were staged:

1034 Oak Forest        DOM: 50  %/List: 98%
151 Fencerail Way     DOM: 27  %/List: 97%
1766 Liberty Woods   DOM: 47  %/List: 98%
1551 Wild Cherry       DOM: 38  %/List: 94%

Happy Staging!

Holy cow Teresa!!  Removing the wallpaper alone took 20 years off the age of the kitchen.  I want to cringe every time now on HGTV where people say that wallpaper is making a comeback....

Great Job!!

Teresa -- This is such a great example of a professional home staging consultation resulting in a quick SALE -- congrats!  I'm finding that consultations are really working in my market too. Smart Realtors include one as part of their marketing/listing packages for their sellers.

I believe that without your expert advice, this house would have been on the market a very long time. You gave them a great "Plan of Action"; and it must be so nice to have the support of a forward-thinking Realtor. Kudos to both of you.

It is nice look look at other Stagers work - before and after photos.  What a transformation!!  Nice to hear the results as well.  From the time that you did the consultation to the work being completed - ready to be staged - what was the time line?  Did the homeowners do the work?  Or did you set up contractors?

Nice Work:)

Wow...thanks everyone for the nice comments and kind words.  It's always good to see you guys and I appreciate your feedback!

The homeowners did EVERYTHING themselves.  They simply took the 'action plan' I created and went with it.  These particular homeowners were very handy so painting and wallpaper removal was not a problem for them.  They had it on the market within 2 weeks of my consultation.   They were motivated to get it on the market asap as they had another house they wanted to buy.

What great photos you have for your portfolio.  I love it when homeowners really catch the vision and do the work.  I go back tomorrow to take pictures at a home that I hope will be just like this.  The seller is very excited as she sees the changes happening.

Best wishes,

Beth
