18 Comments on What do you need to Stage a Vacant? Check out how MUCH stuff we brought...
Wow that's a lotta stuff. Looks like that house needs you.
Hi Jill,
I'd love to see some of your before and after photos of the interior.
I hope we will get to see some before and after pictures.
Hey! No fair! I think Lynda copied off of me, as we said the same thing at exactly 10:03 pm (:>)
Wow, Ok, maybe you'll want to invest in the Keep It Simple principle to make your staging a little easier!
And that all fit into the truck... lol - aahhh the skillful stuffing of the truck :) I bet the house looks great after it was staged. ~Rita
Skillful stuffing of the truck is SO TRUE! We have a former Fed Ex Truck and let me tell you we can pack it in! I will post some b & a for you under the heading of " Summer Staging at Frank's!" Look for it!
Looks like you ladies are in the moving business. Been there, done that.
I hope it works for you.
Wow, and I thought I had a lot of stuff! It must look great when you are finished!
Can't wait to see the finished product!
Jill ~ That is a lot of stuff! Good idea to bring a variety of options with you, especially since you have the truck to manage it.
This is a good post. It never seems as much when you are loading it, but when you unload it in your job site you always get the same response from whom ever happens to be there while you are working. "Did you bring the whole store?" It is so funny to see the looks on people's faces. Stagers think this is totally normal, we do it every job. To the public they think we are magicians. The cannot fathom how we can pull this altogether in a day's notice and execute the plan by the end of the day.
Great post! So many people have no idea how much really goes into staging a vacant home. It can be amazing when you look around at all the boxes, then when you are done you wonder where it all went. It is so spread out it doesn't look like you have nearly as much there as you actually do!
Jill, love your photos. Great examples of how much we need to "make it happen". I think that all of us should have photos like this in our portfolios to show people just what it takes. Thanks for sharing some of our reality.
I am so happy for you that is was not a rainy day. That is when it is the pits!
Jill - tell me you took these pictures in the summer - I heard that it was 40 below in Alberta this week:)
Stephanie
It is super cold here this week, we did this in the summer and it was gorgeous out, however that had it's challenges too because of sweaty, tired, stagers, dehyrdation and flat hair do's ...wasps coming in the house...etc..
HOWEVER, I do chose that over freezing cold because then all this has to fit IN the house and that is not easy to work around....in condos we have to bring it all up, no leaving it in the hall or foyer....also that requires more people to be watcgdogs over the stuff as it makes it's way up and down....these are things they DON"T tell you in Staging school!
We should have "Rain sleet or snow on our truck! Our record cold stage was last year in MINUS 42. With only 2 girls and my truck wouldn't start so I had to rent a Uhaul that was a STINKY diesel and the exhaust was coming in the cab so I had to drive with the windows down all the way so I wouldn't die.
Let me tell you if there was a day I nearly packed it in and flew to Cuba with just what I had on-
that would have been the day...but I survived....press on as the Bible says!
I should blog the things they don't tell you in staging school! BUT I LOVE THIS BUSINESS!
See my post called "Summer Staging at Frank's" for the interior photos
Jill,
It's a lot of work to stage vacants and most people just don't have any idea. I bought a trailor last summer at a yard sale. It was a neighborhood yard sale so there were all kinds of things to choose from. I pull up to a vacant with my trailor packed and my car packed. I would like to get either a large truck or a work van in the future.
