A nice shade of lipstick enhances the lips.

Staging a non-occupied million dollar home is also the way to go to show a property in its best light. Just as a nice shade of lipstick enhances the lips, a qualified designer/stager breathes life into large, open spaces. 

 

 

A 7,000 square foot home shows brighter, warmer and feels more liveable. It's okay to go big - from oversize planters to wrap around couches, not-to-mention a majestic four poster bed in the master suite.

 

Of course the furniture should be house specific, larger furniture for a larger living space...adequate size for a smaller living space.

 

 

Another great payoff for advertising/marketing a million dollar home is bringing a professional photographer to take pictures. EVERY million dollar home deserves to be shown at its finest and only professionals know how to truly show off rich, vibrant tones, beautiful decor, ambience lighting.

 

Also, call the photographer back to have shots taken during evening hours to show off more of the character and personality of the home. Professional staging with professional photos can make a million dollar listing stand out from all others not willing to forgo the time and cost to do so.

The house in the photo's came to life once the right furniture and decor was strategically placed, Kat Palmiotti. The stager knew exactly what to do to bring much attention to potential buyers!

Hi Wanda,
Staging absolutely matters. Our staging options in my little city are pretty limited.

Hi Wanda,

Spot-on. And you're last sentence says it perfectly.

"Professional staging with professional photos can make a million dollar listing stand out from all others not willing to forgo the time and cost to do so."

Thoroughly marketing and advertising a $MIL property in a shifting market is a must to get the most money with less days on market, Michael Cole. That is what I do!

Hi Wanda It constantly amazes me when I see 1M+ homes listed with zero staging and no professional photos - especially in our current market.  As you know, it's so, so SO important to make ones listing shine and be the best in the neighborhood.  I saw one the other day in my area for 2M+ and OMG it was fabulous all the way around.  It sold the very next day because of the staging and excellent professional photos. That La was experienced like you are - and did the right thing for the sellers.

Oh yes, the eye buys, Anna Banana Kruchten CRS, Phoenix Broker! Adequately marketing and advertising a property for sale, to set it apart from the masses, is very necessary. I came across some photos on the MLS taken by the agent and the side mirror of the car was in one of them. Sheesh! I wonder if the seller even knew about that!?

Dear Wanda,

Finding the right stager can make all the difference. Some have home decorating businesses and get called back to help the new home owner get their home comfortable and presentable for guests.

Staging is needed for the average buyer to see themselves and their own furniture in a house.  Creativity matters!  Just like lipstick!
