Staging a Model Home in Milwaukie Oregon

By
Home Stager with Synergy Staging ~ specializing in vacant home staging

The summer has been flying by and we've been busier than ever.  It's time to get back to our home staging blog and catch up.

Our Portland home staging company recently staged a beautiful model home in Milwaukie, Oregon.  This is a bank owned property and they understand the value that home staging brings to a vacant home, especially one that serves as a model for the development.

The challenge in this home was the very large entry and dining area.  As you can see there is wood flooring and then carpet in the living room area.  When it was vacant potential buyers felt that the living room was too small and they were overwhelmed by the large open space.

Once the property was staged, the living room felt spacious and the other areas were inviting and had a clear purpose.  One buyer who saw the home before it was staged commented that they had removed it from their list.  They thought they would look at it one more time now that it was staged and they are considering an offer.  Same buyers, same home, new positive outlook based on the results of professional home staging.

David -- very nice staging job on this ranch home.  What a difference staging can make in the online listing photos!  That buyer should make an offer soon or it will be snapped up by someone else!

Maureen ~ Online photos make all the difference in getting potential buyers to view a house in person.  Thanks for the comment and the conversation last night!

Kathy ~ It is great to see that banks are starting to believe more and more in staging.  They have so much inventory and need to get these homes sold.  What better way than having them professionally staged?

Cindy ~ Thanks.  It's always great to help buyers envision how they could make an awkward space work for them.

David- what a great job of showing how the space can be used.  I really like the pops of color you used in the living area.  Who wouldn't want to move in?!

Those lonely plants in the "before" pics weren't doing much to enhance the space, but your staging certainly did - beautiful job!

Leanne ~ The plants were awfully lonely before.  Thanks!

Beautiful Staging, David!  I especially like the entrance.  Wait... I like the dining room as well.  Oh, forget it.  I love it all.

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

Cathy ~ Thanks!  As a result of the economy banks have become the property owners they never wanted to be.  It's great to see that they are turning to stagers to help sell their inventory.

Lori ~ I appreciate your comments.  So far the experience has been easier to work with banks than we thought, meaning getting contracts and payments so efficiently.  Unexpected!

Kathy ~ Thanks for the feature.  Thanks for your comments.  Always nice to see you on my posts! =)
