Home Staging Success - 3 Contemporary Model Lofts in Santa Monica

You may remember a post from July, where I highlighted three contemporary model lofts we Staged in Santa Monica for Realtor Dana Ehrlich of Keller Williams. Well here are the results... drumroll please:

"Annie's staging of my project was absolutely spot-on. She understood the buyer mentality so well that we had all three staged units in escrow within 2 months, after having had them on the market for over 7!"

Now I should mention that another designer had Staged these models initially. He was not a Stager, but rather a furniture designer who used these units to showcase pieces he wanted to sell. The results speak for themselves. This guy had beautiful pieces, but gave no thought to what a buyer would be thinking as s/he walked through the property - namely, "How am I going to live, work, sleep & watch TV all in under 900 sf?"

The previous designer had not included a spot for a home office or a TV in the units. Living in such a small space is a tough sell, but if you can show a potential buyer a place for everything that's important, they can see the potential. Staging is a lot more than putting pretty furniture into a home. It's about thinking like a buyer and looking for the things that a buyer is going to be looking for.
