Cincinnati Real Estate Investors Use Home Staging To Sell Quickly!

By
Home Stager with Cincinnati Home Stager

We've been working a lot lately with Cincinnati Investors and staging their wonderful rehabbed properties.   Investors are near and dear to my heart as my husband and I have invested in real estate for the last 14 years.   I understand the process these Investors go through completely from finding those diamonds in the rough, the entire rehab process to the final product.    I've always called the staging of these newly renovated homes the "Icing On The Cake".   The staging is what turns these properties into warm and inviting homes that potential buyers fall in love with.   Sometimes just the "newly" remodeled home is not enough.   I've found that these renovated empty homes are a dime a dozen these days and the ones that are selling quickly are the ones that are staged.

Here's a recent investment property Stage A Star had the privilege  to stage.  It received an offer in only 25 days!

STATS: 

Staged: 12-23-09
Listed: 12-30-09
Pending: 1-23-10
25 Days On Market

Here's what our happy Cincinnati Investor had to say:

Dear Teresa,

I just wanted to drop you a quick note and say thanks! Stage A Star did a fantastic job in the staging of 575 Glenrose in Cincinnati. As an investor and working on multiple properties,  it is imperative to separate our properties from the rest and thanks to Stage A Star, we were able to put this property under contract in 30 days!

 We look forward to doing more business in the future.

What a difference between the 2 pictures.  I think the lighting has something to do with it too.

Teresa, Nice job. There are times when the buyer cannot visualize what an empty home will look like with their furniture in it. Your company paints that picture for them. I agree with Mandy, a furnished home does look more warm and inviting than an empty home.

Cindy: Hi! The before photos are taken by me with a wide angle lens and the after photo was taken by my real estate photographer who knows what she is doing.  

Mandy: This home in person felt really cold and dark even though everything was newly rehabbed. It just didn't feel right until the staging.

Craig: Yep, buyers need to see what their life could be like living in that particular home.  The staging provides that glimpse.

Debra: Thanks! I love it when clients send me a nice note about their staging experience.  I'm looking forward to working with this investor again.

Hi Teresa,

 I believe in the power of expert staging 100%.... no.... make that... 110%.

 Anyone owning a vacant property that they are going to try to sell should think seriously about staging, or perhaps even think of it as a "given" on the To-Do list.

Those "after" pictures look great.

Continued success up the road in Cincinnati!
