before after photos: Now Here's Some Stats Worth Bragging About! - 02/18/08 04:47 AM
145 days on the market.  40+ showings.  No offers!  Something was wrong.  The property seemed to be priced right and have a desirable location since it was getting traffic and being shown but something was obviously missing.  The listing agent saw another house Judy Heinrich Home Staging, LLC recently staged and decided staging might be the answer!  She gave me a call and I quickly went to work.  The day after staging the property was shown and an offer was received that evening.  Now the property is set to close the end of the month, just about two weeks after staging!

before after photos: Here's What I Ended Up Doing (an Update) - 02/18/08 03:34 AM
Last week I was fishing for ideas that I might not have thought about in my blog Love To Hear Your Suggestions.  Thought I'd post a couple of pictures of what I did.  I'd like to give credit to Sandra Hughesfor her suggestion of hanging 3 mirrors.  The mirrors were only 9.99 each at Walmart.  I like the effect.  I even thought it would look good if I aged the mirror... anyone know how to do that?   I think a bigger picture above the mantle would have been more appropriate but I was unable to come up with something in such … (16 comments)

before after photos: Vacant Home Before & After Photos! - 07/03/07 09:22 AM

before after photos: Dated Home Update - Photos! - 03/26/07 02:45 PM
Wanted to post an update to my Dated Home Needs Staging - Help blog.  Thought I'd share a couple photos so you can see what I did.  I ended up just ignoring the mirror over the bed since I couldn't pull off any of the great suggestions some stagers gave me, it just didn't look right.  Unfortunately, the angle I took the picture from you don't see the pretty reflection, but the TV - Oops!  I'm still not the best photographer!
