I'm Loving Owner Occupied Homes...Before & Afters!

By
Mortgage and Lending with Liberty Bank of Arkansas

I'm having so much fun working with owner occupied homes. This homeowner said her husband didn't think they needed to hire a Home Stager. But she had done her research...and knew they needed help. I spent 9 hours working with this homeowner and I think we achieved a "show" ready home. The husband's  reaction to our work...WOW, can you come and help us when we move into our new home?

 

 

 

 

Ready, Set, Stage! helping Northwest Arkansas homeowners move on to the next stage in their lives!

Looks fantastic Donna.  Did they put granite in the kitchen?  Looks much better!  It is nice not having to cart your inventory all over the place isn't it?  Occupied homes are my favorite.  Empowering homeowners to recreate their space is a great gift!  Awesome job!

Hi Donna, Don't you just love the husband reaction? I bet they will have you over on moving day to achieve the same beautiful results!

Luckily this homeowner did her homework and knew that by utilizing your professional staging services, she would increase her chances of a successful & quick sale! Great transformation!

I agree, these are great examples of some wonderful transformations that can (and are) accomplished thru home staging.

Congratulations.  Your post is being featured in the group Home Staging Before & After Pictures.

It looks great with the changes you've made.  I notice you took probably a family portrait away and I agree.  The house has to be depersonalized.

Donna- Me too. It is amazing what we can do with a homeowners stuff and a few of our own accessories. It can be very rewarding for us and the client.

Very nice photos Donna.  I noticed you turned all the lights on.  Even that made a wonderful improvement along with your staging.

Barbara, It is pretty amazing to me, I guess that's why I'm loving it so much. BTW good to see you back on AR!

Kate, Always, Always turn on the lights! Thanks for stopping by!

Wendy, Thanks so much. How blessed are we to do something we so much love!

Thanks Ginger, I owe so much to AR stagers for helping me get started, I couldn't have done it without you! Sometimes I wake up and can't believe that this is my job! My favorite part of what I do is helping others. Their reaction and appreciation is great!

They are a lot harder as you have to work with what they have but I love when the homeowner sees firsthand how we can transform their home in a matter of hours. They often say..."I wished we had called you 10 years ago!"
