Vacant Home Staging in Edina, MN

By
Home Stager with Rooms With Style

Last week I had the pleasure to stage this Vacant Condo in Edina, MN. The investor contacted me the previous week to submit a bid and within a few days we had a signed contract.

The investor had put in new carpet, counter tops, stainless steel appliances, and lighting and now all it needed was some pizazz.

Home Staging provides the wow factor needed to take it from good to great. This previously beautiful but beige home is now beautiful and bold.

Don't let your listing be forgotten. Have them professionally staged so the buyer will not only remember it but make an offer!

Hi Patsy, I haven't heard from him yet?? I hope no news is good news though. :)

Thank you Shelley. The rich colors sure perked up the beige!

Isn't that the truth Kathy. There are no overhead lights in the LR or Master so totally drab even on a sunny day. The investor was smart to know he needed to get it staged BEFORE it went on the market.   

Thank you Julie!

Very inviting Shar - great job! I think condos really benefit from staging as the living spaces are usually open and need defined seating and dining areas to buyers t visualize the space.

Thank you Roger. Us blonde chicks can be creative sometimes! ;) I'm even blonder than normal right now with the summer sun bleaching my hair,ha.

Thanks Cathy. It was a fun project to do!

I agree Tessa. Plus this wasn't the biggest space. Being vacant it looked even smaller. The staging showed just how cozy it can be and seat a lot of people.

Your after pictures make it look so much more warm and inviting. I can definitely see buyers wanting to move into this condo!

Congratulations. Your home staging is being featured in the group Staging Before and After Pictures.

Beautiful, Shar!  Just the right amount of furniture in the right places.  I also love the way you have distributed light around the room.

Thanks Diana, it is amazing how much bigger a room looks when you add furniture (but not too much) and there is light!

It's very easy to envision a family in that space now that you have worked your magic.

Simply beautiful!

WOW...is all I can say..you have done an awesome job here. I am working on a vacant staging with a very limited budget, so it is going to be basically vignette staging. wish I could do something like this for them...

Thank you Mary Lou. It is way more fun to be able to do a little more isn't it? I alway recommend doing less rooms and doing those rooms great.
