A Rustic New Home Staged in Portland, Oregon SOLD 3 weeks after staging ~ Before & Afters

By
Home Stager with Room Solutions Staging, Portland OR

We recently staged a new construction home with a "country rustic" style on a half-acre lot in Portland Oregon ... our staging team fell in love with this house for several reasons  (one is that it has a 4-car garage that would be a stager's dream storage area!)  

Agents and Homeowners:  Showing an inviting furnished property in the online mls photos is much more likely to encourage a potential buyer to view the home in person.  Vacant rooms don't have the ability to capture the buyer's imagination the way that a staged property can. Call a professional stager in your area (you can find them right here on Active Rain) to help your property appeal to your target buyer.

Update:  This home was on the market from November 2007, staged in late March, and SOLD 3 weeks later!

Here are a few Before & After photos ...

Ardell ~ We find that we use plants (I must have 100+ in my inventory) to bring the outside in and to make cold spaces seem cozier.  Good luck with your project.

Sheron ~ What a nice thing to say, thank you!  I've discovered that I enjoy staging all styles of homes and find the challenge part of the fun.  I'll bet other stagers feel the same way.

Ronelle ~ Thank you for stopping by and commenting ... how is the staging business down in your neck of the woods?  Do you see it starting to get busier with the "traditional" home selling season about to begin?  We're starting to get more calls here in Portland.

beautiful job.  do you do a lot of vacant staging.  I have my first one coming up and it seems like it's going to be really expensive.  It's a 3000 square foot house and they want to stage every room.  Anyway, great job!!!  The house looks beautiful.

Chrissie ~ Yes, I stage a lot of vacants as well as occupied homes.  In my opinion, it's important to stage the "impact" rooms (living room - dining - kitchen - master bedroom & bath) to keep costs within the client's budget and my pricing is based on this type of package....however we also include optional pricing if they'd like to include an office, family room, secondary bedrooms and bathrooms, etc.

Maureen,

Great job!  It's always fun to stage a vacant, its somewhat like painting a picture. You start with a blank canvas and fill it with color and texture and dimension and then the end result.....a MASTERPIECE!  Continued Success!
