Luxury Portland Home on the Market for 2+ years ... then Staged ... Fingers Crossed! (Part 1)
Maureen Bray, "Room Solutions Staging", Home Stager from Portland, Oregon (ActiveRain Member) writes and produces articles here on AR that are informative and beautiful to view, as well.
This particular article below features pictures that showcase the magic that Maureen can do with a property. I don't think any prior articles/photos of Maureens that I have seen have done so more dramatically, IMO. The end result is just stunning.
I re-blog this article as a way of making a point. Obviously #1 is that Maureen is extremely talented and if in her area and in search of staging services, please contact her. You'll be glad you did.
But, I also want to make the point that staging is an extremely wise action to take if selling your home ... or considering to do so. Staging services can range from consultations to whole-house transformations and everything inbetween ... so don't hold back from inquiring about services. There is something offered and possible to match your budget.
The advantages you learn and/or implement with staging can make the difference between finding the buyer you need or not. It can also aid in finding them faster.
The proof? You can see for yourself in these breathtaking photos. A beautiful home is given a personality and a warmth that it did not have prior to Maureen's magic. It almost shouts "Buy Me!".
Take a good look for yourself ... and then consider staging services for your own home!

Our Portland home staging company was recently hired to stage a beautiful luxury new home that's been on the market for 2 years without a sale. The builder created a stunning masterpiece, but the real estate market was crashing just as construction was nearing completion. The setting, location, and quality of this home are the very best ... but market forces diminished the buyer pool for a home like this in our area.
What to do? Why, stage it of course ... so that potential buyers could imagine living in this home. Staging helps emphasize the home's best features and architectural details, creates focal points, and provides a warm inviting "feeling" that buyers find they can connect to emotionally. A person's largest investment is also a highly emotional one, since we humans buy a house not just for shelter but to provide a "home" where families grow and are nurtured, where dreams and memories are shared and encouraged.
Here are some Before and After photos of this gorgeous Portland home ... the staging helps buyers see themselves living here.
Dining rooms in particular evoke dreams of family and friends sharing a meal ... enjoying themselves. With an empty room (no matter how nice the details) it's hard to get that "feeling" without a lot of creative thinking!
The great room has an entire wall of windows looking out to Tryon Creek Park. Staging this room gives buyers a reference point for their own furnishings & draws attention to the two-story custom stone fireplace.

In the large well-appointed kitchen, staging helps buyers imagine how they'd use this space. It's all about providing nurturing care for your family & friends ... the builder thought of everything; staging just enhanced it.

The kitchen workspace in this home is amazing! Every imaginable built-in including two dishwashers concealed in custom cabinets, warming drawers, multiple sinks, and a gorgeous center island makes this kitchen special.
Here's some photos of this home's exterior spaces ...
So will staging help this home sell? Stay tuned ... fingers are crossed!
