Can Staging Help Update this Home? 3 Offers & SOLD for over asking price! Before & Afters

By
Home Stager with Room Solutions Staging, Portland OR

Update:  This Hillsboro Oregon Seller rec'd 3 offers within 10 days of Home Staging ~ and accepted one for over asking price!

Our Portland-based home staging company was recently hired to stage a lovely home in nearby Hillsboro Oregon.  Although this home was built in 2003, the furnishings that the sellers left behind when they moved out were making the home look a bit older.  By adding some color for "punch" and updated accessories, this home now shows as move-in ready for the target buyers, a young professional couple.

Our staging service includes providing quick & cost-effective cosmetic fixes that the seller can do before we arrive to do the final staging.  See if you can spot a few changes between the Before & After Photos ...home stagers beaverton oregon

I haven't really used much red when I stage, but after seeing your photos, I'm now sold on red!

Adding all the pillows really distracts from the fact slipcovers were even used.  Great job!  I love how the use of accessories camouflages the dated tables...they really stand out in the before and are not even noticeable in the after.  Great use of color throughout the home.

Great job.  Since I am not a profesional stager, but I know the difference that it can do on a sale I am going to reblog this one.

Maureen, I missed this post when it originally ran, but I got to see the reblog and you deserve the comments.  Beautiful job. 

Great staging and improved photography. Sterile to warm, empty to enjoyable, very nicely done and well displayed.  A+

Hi Bev ~ thanks for the reblog.  This house was really fun to transform!

Hi Dan ~ Wow I love getting a good grade like that -- Thank you!  :-)  I saw in your profile that your wife does some staging so it's great to know that you endorse the benefits that staging can bring to the seller and their agent.
