Chicagoland's busiest Staging Company, Re-Arrange It Interiors, successfully transforms another Naperville, IL condo. Watch the team make it happen!
We've already spent days working on this project. After meeting with the client and seeing the property, a plan had to be formed, inventory checked, a quote prepared, paperwork completed. Which brings us to the best part STAGE DATE! We have finally selected, gathered, AND loaded the pieces that will make the magic happen...pew I'm already exhausted... The Re-Arrange It team arrives bright and early and we start the very unglamorous job of unloading of the truck. For anyone considering getting into the business this part never gets easier.
That's Sue my assistant stager and Al "one of our movers". This is a smaller job and he's handling the heavier stuff and assemble.
They don't know I'm taking pictures yet...
AHH I clean slate...
That's Kathy in the corner..She's the newest member of our Re-Arrange It team. I asked her to pretend to do something with that tree while I take her picture. (he-he) She's wondering whats going on but accommodates me anyway. (She still new enough she'll do what I ask without complaint =)
Okay..now she knows I'm taking her picture but she ignoring me.. probably wondering why I'm taking the pictures and she's doing all the work..=)) Did I mention She's my mother?
The chaos before the calm. This one of the reasons it's best to have only Stagers on sight during set up. There is a point where you step back and go OMG will it ever come together??
Okay I'm starting to see the vision again...
Where'd everyone go..Here they are.
We spent way too much time in here setting up the bed. Put creative minds together and sometimes we don't agree.
Creative minds are great but come stage date muscle is what you really need. Al has carried in the heavy desk and is assembling it..
The girls are taking a break and watching..
Okay I think she's getting mad.. she's saying something about stop taking pictures and get to work!! ;)
OK OK .. THE FINISHED PRODUCT! (about 5 hours on-site today)
This Naperville condo was on the market for 3 YEARS with another agent and not one offer. The seller agreed to meet with me out of frustration of not knowing what else to do to get it sold. I recommended they paint the kitchen to soften the harshness of the white walls and dark cabinet color, replace 2 light fixtures, and STAGE.
THE RESULT: 2 full price offers offers within days of staging. Agent calls kept coming in asking if the property showed as good in person as it did on-line because they had a buyer interested in seeing it. (proof that pictures talk to buyers!!) The condo closed within 39 days of staging. The first Realtor also saw the photos and call me amazed. I am currently working on a new project for her.
