Connecticut Home Staging:  Listed on the 30th, Full Price Offer by the 5th!

Imagine my surprise and delight when I got this email from an Agent I recently started working with:

"ON DEPOSIT FULL PRICE OFFER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

How did it sell so quickly?  The three factors that made it happen are:  a smart Agent, Lynn Gayda of Coldwell Banker in Oxford, CT, a smart price, and smart presentation.  The Agent started to work with me because she wanted her listings to look great on the MLS.  Nestings Home Staging did a Staging Consultation for the Seller, who followed through with painting, editing, and landscaping.  The results were excellent, showcasing the features of this wonderful family home.  Lynn also had a professional photographer take the pictures, which really looked great online.

More from Lynn:  "And I want to say I could not have done it without you so feel free to put that in your blog!"

Since my job was to prepare the Staging Consultation, which gave detailed instructions to prepare the house for sale, I did not do any hands-on Staging, except for the fireplace mantel:

fireplace before

Living Room fireplace before.

 

artart

Hunting for artwork to use.

 

after

Fireplace after:  flowers and artwork added to highlight this feature.

(Sorry about the angle!)

 

Be a smart Agent and sell quickly.  Help Sellers to set a smart price and enlist a professional Home Stager for a smart presentation!

Hi Julie ~ What a great testimonial from the listing agent!  It really pays off to have a Staging Consultation done before listing, so that the home shows at its best right from day one.  Congrats on helping the sellers get such great results!

Julie - Of course the agent thought you were wonderful - because you are!!!  I love your staging style - this seller was in excellent hands.  Great job leading the client in the right direction.  It resulted in a quick sale at full price.  Gotta love that!

Congrats, Julie. That wood panelling is in so many older homes around here; and the suggestion to paint it is usually met with  - NO!! it's wood.....

Having received a similar email lately, I know how exciting it is!! Then there are the others that I wouldn't know sold unless I make the call or check the MLS.  Congrats!!
