 Home Staging Success Stories ~ 8/7/11

Home Stagers make up one part of the successful sale of a home...  the presentation part.  Stagers are trained to see a home through the buyers eyes... and from start to sale we the Stager, Realtor and Homeowner all have the same goal in mind.  We all want the house to sell in the shortest amount of time for the best price.

There are many kinds of success stories.  For a Home Stager it could be a kind word from the Realtor or Homeowner when they tell you what a difference you made on their listing or home.  Or after you have staged a Homeowner's home and they ask you to come and stage their new home that they are moving to.  It could be a referral from a Homeowner or a Realtor.  Or when a Realtor calls you in to stage their listing and give it a great presentation so the home can stand out above the competition. 

Here is a wonderful example of a success story... which all Real Estate Professionals should receive credit for.  The Realtor, the Homeowner, the Stager, the Home Inspector, the Appraiser, the Title Company, the Lender/Mortgage Company all play an important role in a home having a successful sale.  Without the expertise of all these professional's the home below that recently sold with multiple offers in the first week on the market and sold for 15K over asking price would not have achieved.  We are all a team and working together we can achieve a successful story with every home that goes up for sale!

Your photographs really demonstrate the value of staging.  Many home seller would benefit from staging if their agents would make the recommendation.

 Life is good!

Hi Linda - You're so right that every home on the market takes a real team effort to get it sold. Your staging certainly had a lot to do with this one going so fast and for well over asking. Beautiful work!

Roy,  Thanks for the encouraging comment... and for the beautiful flower you brought my way today.  I agree with you too... a Home Stager can be very helpful to homeowners....  especially when they don't know how or where to begin preparing their home for sale.  I hope you and Dolores have an awesome day today!

Linda - What fantastic results - the home sold for $15,000 over asking!!!  You're so right.  A well-oiled team that works together to achieve the same goal, getting the house sold, is magic.  Beautiful staging job!

Hi Linda--great post.  First, beautiful staging.  Small wonder the house sold so quickly and for over list.  Second, you are so right about a great team of people.  "No man is an island" and no where is that more true than real estate.
