Some Realtors and Sellers view home staging as a luxury item for high end properties. This couldn't be farther from the truth. Staging a property in this market is proving to be successful time and time again. Home stagers can work with the budgets of most owners and enhance a property so it shows its absolute best. Whether you have a property in the 5 figures or 7 figures, home staging is an investment that will help your home sell quicker and for more money.

This condo unit in the Sunset Meadows neighborhood of Portland that Synergy Staging recently staged is listed at only $139,000.00. Staging this unit helped it stand out from the rest of the competition in the same complex.

David,

I'm so glad to see this post! Every price point can benefit from staging. We had a similar situation a while back. Although our unit had a view of the "parking lot" and our competition had a wonderful view, our staged unit sold first. It was in the lower price point range too.

Good luck and beautiful staging!

Richie ~ Thanks for your comments. It's always good to see Realtors here who are supporters. You are right that in the end the investment in staging is almost always more than covered.

Maureen ~ I'm glad we get to work with all price levels of homes. And yes - this is the condo we discussed. There was no moving the light - so we worked with the space as it was. See you soon!

Marianne ~ It is definitely our job to determine a design and plan that works for each home. That's just one more reason why we can't quote prices over the phone without first seeing a property. Thanks for your feedback!

Andrew ~ Thanks! The Seller and Agent are both thrilled - they are the same person! =)

Patti ~ Glad to hear you had a similar success story. The impact of staging can't be overlooked, especially when there is so much inventory in the marketplace. Thank you!

David- You're so right. Houses of all pirce points and size can benefit from staging. The end result doesn't have to look lika a model home. We just need to be able to work with what's available or that we can't change and show its "liveability" .

I love coffee & real estate. I am out of coffee!

Crazy about the before and after shots. You really don't have to say a word to sell the service, do you? Your point that staging is good for all price points -- not only is that an excellent point, but work for the lil first time sellers like you do your mansions. It's just the right thing to do.

It is important to stand out - no matter what the price point is! Especially when the property is in a highly competitive environment - if there are several condos on the market in the same complex. Julie

Lori ~ Thanks!

Tessa ~ It's always fun to see the transformation no matter how many times we do it, isn't it?

Kathy ~ It's generally easier to make a vacant look like a model. Occupieds benefit as much if not more since they have the added challenge of other people's stuff! Every home should be staged before going on the market.

Kristen ~ It is the right thing to do. Glad that you are a supporter. Thanks for stopping by.

Good. Better. Brian.

David, Very good point! It's hard to justify the costs sometimes for a less expensive house, but you've done it. And another post I read said that the first price reduction is usually way more of a cost than the home staging!

Kathy ~ Thank you. We always appreciate your support (and love your great work!)

Liz ~ There is no comparison between a staged and vacant unit.

Brian ~ It is true that the investment in staging is always less than the first price reduction. Thanks for your comments!
