Home Stager with Showhomes

Cindy Montgomery, our top stager and owner of Showhomes - Minneapolis emailed me these photos of a home that closed in 45 days and went under contract in less than 1 month:

Here's the after:

Wow! What a difference - no wonder this $900k home sold quickly!

At Showhomes we love tight conversation groupings like this one - groupings that have at least 3 points and that use a coffee table the same height as the cushions. Its critical that every person can reach the coffee table from where they sit. This makes the room comfortable and people will sit down - a grouping like this is not only attractive, its safe for buyers and they are attracted to it because its cozy. No matter how large the room is, a grouping set up like this always works.

 

Good job Cindy!

Wow is right!!! Great job on the staging.  It really does make a difference, especially when some buyers can't see what the space could really be.

Thanks Julia -

I like to see a larger, higher quality rug. Rugs are like art - they can in themselves transform a room. One thing to notice about this room is that the furniture we used is pretty normal - nothing really expensive but the accesories are really well thought out.
