Home Stager with CL Design Services Home Staging

I posted recently about a fun staging-an older home that had been a rental for many years.  This homeowner decided it was time to sell the home-yes, even in this market.

Our goal was to prepare this home quickly, keeping price and presentation priorities.

This homeowner is a service provider affiliate I do business with frequently.  She decided I would be her stager before she decided on the listing agent.  She told me she would not consider anyone else because of the business I have done with her.  I consider doing business with her an honor and pleasure! It was pure joy staging her rental property for sale. 

The home sold in one week! What happiness for both of us!!  We will celebrate soon as we de-stage this home and new homeowners move in.

Cathy - I think that the testimonial of your client picking you before the agent speaks volumes!  The realization that the Staging needs to come first - and the marketing next - is KEY!  I bet she has referred you to many of her friends and colleagues too!  The Staging looks great - well done! - Jennie

Congratulations, Cathy. Clients that call a qualified stager such as you, first, are treating the realtor as an all important first customer.

Love to hear the success stories.  Great job! Hope the Realtors are all reading these stories!  Staging is something that can be used to make them more money and make their job so much easier but there are still so many that don't get it.

Out with the old and in with the new.  You would never know by looking at that room, that it was an old house.  Congrats, on the quick sale.
