Staging Works: West Los Angeles Condo in Escrow 1st Week on Market!

By
Home Stager with Stage to Sell - LA Home Staging

Since we have been so busy Staging lately, I was remiss in posting about our latest project - a lovely condo in West LA that we Staged on May 15th. Blogging about it was on my “to-do” list for today, but when I checked my email this morning I got the following email from the Realtor:

“I am happy to tell you that I got an accepted offer on the Pelham condo in the first week. It’s in escrow & inspection and I’m looking for a backup offer.”

It must have been fate that I hadn’t yet blogged about this project, because what better news to share than this Staging Success Story! It’s one for the record books.

Click here to see the full story and before & after photos of this amazing transformation!

Sheila, thank you! Yes the befores were extra bad, in all fairness, because they had twin 4 yr olds and were trying to pack to move to their new home. I know they never would've showed it that way! :)

Linda, thanks so much. I hope so too!

That is fantastic news, Annie, way to go!  Your transformation is spectacular!

I'm working on similar project right now where the home owners have several very young children.  It does make the process more challenging for them and for us.  But the end results are definitely worth it.

Michele, thanks so much!

Mary, yes working with families living in their homes is always a challenge. It's one I sympathize with, being a mom of 2 young kids. I could never put my house on the market while my kids were living there!!! :) This family had actually moved out into their new home before listing the house.

Annie - I'm sure the owners are thrilled with the fast sale of their condo in this market. Especially since they had already purchased another home. That bathroom was something else. Was that REALLY expensive wallpaper? In the photo, it looks like a bunch of travel posters glued to the wall. WOW! Even with the boxes out of the way, that cool sink would have been an afterthought.

Thanks Janis. Yes I know it's hard to believe from the photo, but it was wallpaper and not posters glued to the wall! Once again a testament to my theory that wallpaper almost always photographs badly.

Kathy and Janelle, thank you so much! :) I must also say that the Realtor was so in favor of Staging that she paid for $1000 of the job to make it more affordable for the clients. Do you suppose she was happy with her investment? I think so!

Kathy, yes it was quick! Knock on wood, lots of our Staged properties have been selling in under a week lately. It's a combination of good pricing and Staging that does the trick!
