Home Staging is a key factor in successful home sales for many Philadelphia area home sellers. Below are 3 recent case studies of projects we completed last month. As you can see no matter what the budget, home staging was able to help each home seller with their specific needs.
Home Staging Consultation: Total Cost $300.00
Delaware County, Wayne Pennsylvania
Days on Market Pre-Staging 6 months
Days on Market Post- Staging 2 weeks
We were contacted by the home seller's Realtor to assist her client with getting a new look for her home. The client was downsizing after living in her home for 35 years and raising 4 children. The home owner had a flair for decorating but the home was overly personal. When buyers entered the home they immediately noticed all her lovely things not the home's architectural features. We met with the home seller and came up with a plan on how to enhance each room. We shared some advice about how to make the home feel more spacious and less personal. The most dramatic transformation was removing her many decorative area rugs and rearranging the living room and den to showcase the space and the hardwood floors her home offers. The home seller was able to use our advice to stage her home and received an offer 2 weeks after staging.

Home Staging Enhancement: Total Cost $1600.00
Montgomery County, Wynnewood Pennsylvania
Received 2 offers within 72 hours of first showing
Prior to putting their home on the market this Spring this home seller contacted us to give them a plan on what they needed to do to make their home more appealing to potential buyers. They had lived in their home for only 2 years and were relocating to a new city for work. They had enjoyed the home but had not spent much time decorating or settling in. The result was that the home looked cold and uninviting. We started by giving them a staging consultation or report of what they needed to do to make sure each space was in top condition. This included cleaning carpets, repainting and washing windows. We then gave them a proposal for our team to accent their home with our accessories to give it a more completed look. The results were fantastic- the rooms felt warmer, more inviting and welcoming. Buyers agreed- they got 2 offers within days!




Standard Home Staging for Vacant Home: Total Cost $4970.00 ***
Chester County, Wayne Pennsylvania
Received Offer 23 days after staging
*** Total cost for 90 days. Client is now moving items to another property to be staged.
Our team was asked to assist a local home builder with one of his spec homes. We had successfully staged other homes for his Realtor and he had seen work that we had done for other home builders that he was acquainted with. We met with the seller and gave him a complimentary staging estimate. He hired us to fully stage the first floor of his home. After the staging was completed the Realtor took photographs for his on-line site and began to market the home. During the first week on the market the buyer viewed the property. Two weeks later they visited again and made an offer. The home builder was so thrilled with the results that he is moving the furniture and accessories to another spec home 2 miles away
Kate,
Wonderful results and the stats and details are very informative -- thanks for sharing. I love how the homeowner WINS each time regardless of whether it's a consultation, an enhanced consultation, or a vacant staging. Thanks for continuing to educate sellers & agents about the powerful benefits of professional home staging!
