The last day of 2008 seems like the perfect day for all of us to take a look back and review what we have accomplished over the past year, and look forward to the exciting opportunities of 2009. As I reflect on our many stagings this past year, one success story in particular sticks out in my mind.
We were contacted the week of December 17, 2007 by a homeowner who needed to sell their home. After sitting vacant on the market for over four months with no offers, the owners of this quant 600 square foot 1919 Craftsman bungalow knew they had to do something different.
The unique space provided challenges to potential buyers who could not envision how the small space could work for them. Their Realtor had suggested they do not stage and he hung a few pictures throughout the home. This was clearly the wrong advice.
On December 22 we staged the home. Although it was the toughest time of year for the Real Estate market, the owners had a very happy New Year's Day. Not only did the house sell at full price on January 1st, but they received two solid back-up offers the same day! What a difference staging an empty home can make.
We look forward to sharing our stories and reading all of yours in 2009 on Active Rain.
Happy New Year! May you have an abundant and successful 2009!
