TO ALL BUILDERS I ASK, WHY ARE YOU NOT STAGING YOUR VACANT HOUSES PRIOR TO LISTING??

I ask you this question, because the builder I just finished working with is asking himself this question. He is kicking himself because he cannot believe the difference staging his home has made and he is sorry he did not stage months ago. Everytime your house is shown is an opportunity to sell it and if the buyer is not initially impressed with what they see, it is a missed opportunity you can never get back.

Prior to staging, buyers could not envision furniture in this home. Most thought the space was too small. Once staged, the house is warm, comfortable and inviting, a place anyone would love to call home.

Here are some of the changes...

LR BEFORE...The beautiful fireplace seems lost in this room

LR AFTER.....Now buyers can envision themselves enjoying the fireplace with family and friends.

BEDROOMS BEFORE...Buyers thought these rooms were small and they would not be able to fit their furniture. So they passed on a beautiful home that has more than ample space to raise a family

BEDROOM 1..great for a little girl, can you see that?? I thought so, neither could the buyers!

What about now?? What little girl would not want this as her room?

BEDROOM 2...You really can fit two boys or guests in this room, REALLY! But buyers thought there was not enough room for a full size bed!

So we staged it with a Queen instead..it fits and much more will also!!

The Master Bedroom provides that perfect retreat at the end of the evening for Mom and Dad!!

The kitchen and family room are always the heart of the home, but before being staged, this space left buyers confused on where to place their furnishings.

BUT ONCE STAGED THIS SPACE TRULY BECOMES THE HEART OF THE HOME

The Formal Dining adds to the beauty of this home and provides plenty of room to entertain guests..BUT BEFORE STAGING buyers could not see that

Leaving your vacant house up to the buyers imagination is NEVER a wise investment..STAGING YOUR HOUSE IS!!

It makes a HUGE difference.... I have seen rehabbers start staging now too!

Great job and wonderful photos!

I don't know why builders and sometimes Realtors see staging as a "last ditch" effort. Once they see the results they kick themselves. We can sell their property earlier and save a lot of sore tushies.

I can't tell you how many times we've seen rooms look BIGGER with staging, particularly bedrooms.

Phyllis: Great staging work! Your photo's are fantastic too. I hope you get some responses so that we all can better address their concerns.

wow, that was a big job and the outcome is beautiful. great job.

I think all builders should giver stagers a try. They will be suprised with the results.
