Staging Success! After 6 months on the market...staged & SOLD 38 days!

By
Home Stager with Cincinnati Home Stager

This is a typical kind of house I see alot staging here in Cincinnati. This was a great house in a great family neighborhood and priced well but not selling. This home was on the market for 6 months with very little interest and no offers.  The home had fantastic selling features but buyers were distracted by decor and zero WOW factor.

 The homeowner decided to drop his agent and re-list with someone else.  The Realtor he re-listed with just so happened to be very savvy and knew without a shadow of a doubt that the home needed to be staged in order for her to take the listing. Otherwise, this agent knew it would not sell and she would just be wasting his time and her advertising money.  The agent personally brought me in for a consultation to get my recommendations and to write up a proposal for staging for her client.  

With the proposal accepted a few days later, Stage a Star went to work. We were able to work with much of the homeowners own furnishings but additional props and curtains were used to achieve that "WOW" factor that sells....

After 38 days on the market, this home SOLD!   ( by the way...we just finished staging another home in the same neighborhood by referral...:)

Teresa, What a beautiful job you did---again!  I'm sure both the homeowner and the Realtor were thrilled with your work and the fast selling time, your staging made all the difference.

Teresa ~ Great job!  Love that color in the study.  Was that a stencil on the kitchen soffits or actual ivy hung up there?   I'm not surprised you got a referral out of that, you do nice work.

Teresa:  That's what it's all about; showing off the  house's features and capabilities, not the furniture or accessories!  You did a great job!  Happy staging - Julie

LOL Marci! You are too cute!  Thanks everyone for stopping by!  Hey Kathy..yep, that is ivy somehow taped or glued to the soffit. I did not get close enough to know for sure..the homeowners took care of it.  

I need to post additional before/afters that you didn't see on the RES. This house was just so typical of our market...great house that's sitting with no offers because the buyers eyes aren't directed to the great selling features of the house.
