Update: This home sold in just 12 days after staging and listing! Another home staging success story in Portland OR
I've worked with a lot of bachelors as well as "flippers" to help them prepare their homes for sale in Portland Oregon ... but this recent project may take the top prize. Why was this Seller so successful? Because he made a plan, did the work, hired a professional home stager, and also asked me for a referral for a great Realtor whose track record is awesome!
My client planned this "flip" in a home he's been living in for several years. He contacted me 3 months ago and asked for my recommendations for final cosmetic improvements like paint color, cabinet hardware, landscaping, etc. We also discussed staging each room to show the best use of each space for potential buyers and making sure we had a great traffic flow throughout the home. When the home was ready for staging, we used the owner's furniture wherever possible and provided needed items from our own inventory, to keep the client's costs down.
In the living room, there's a wonderful beam in the vaulted ceiling, a great fireplace and big windows, but the existing furniture was typical "bachelor" style. Here's how it looked Before and After our staging ...
Another view of the main living area shows the new fireplace mantle and a new accent wall color ...
A spare bedroom was underutilized and so we staged it as a home office to appeal to the target buyer ...
The seller completely remodeled the kitchen, adding high-end finishes & appliances, granite counters & a travertine floor ...
This home sold in just 12 days! The seller made all of the right decisions along the way!
