Staging Brings a Vacant Living Room to LIFE!!

By
Home Stager with ReStyled to Sell Home Staging New Jersey

In today's competitive market it is important to show your home in it's best possible light. When selling a vacant house it is hard for a buyer to envision their furniture in the space. Selling features in the room get lost and buyers eyes are only drawn to the negatives of the room, not the positives.

I NEED TO MENTION THAT THIS HOME WAS ON THE MARKET FOR ONE YEAR. A NEW REALTOR TOOK OVER THE LISTING TWO WEEKS AGO AND IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY COMPANY IN TO STAGE THIS HOUSE.... SMART REALTOR, DO YOU AGREE?

In this room, the team of ReStyled to Sell Home Staging NJ took down the heavy upholstered valances which exposed lovely arched windows. I truly felt like Lisa LaPorta from DeSigned to Sell. I was determined to GET THESE DOWN. The original plan was to remove the material and paint wooden boxes, but after an hour of battling with a millions staples I called out to one of my guys to help me GET RID OF THESE THING NOW! As we banged away at them from the back with hammers and a determined spirit, we were all thrilled when they came tumbling down. The homeowners were also thrilled to see them go and wondered why they even had them put up in the first place.

We then proceeded to paint the inset of the fireplace which made the fireplace POP!! A simple fix for such a dramatic change. The sellers were also sorry they had not addressed this space years ago. Finally, furniture and accessories were added to compliment the style of the home.

FROM BLAND AND DATED......

Wow, what an amazing transformation! Out of curiosity, in your market what would the cost of staging a vacant home be? My challenge in Southern California right now is getting sellers with little equity and less cash to spend money they don't have. I totally get that it will increase the selling price but it's still like squeezing blood from a turnip.

What a change the staging made in that room!!  I'm looking at all the attention to detail in that picture.  That is an excellent job and quite a change for that room!  Great job!

Hi Phyllis -- I love your posts and your work.  This is so fitting for the home and that's what I love the most -- not just another model; it's a home.  wonderful . . .

I often wonder if the world of staging gets it.  It's about the house; not making it a model.  You are a true example of excellent staging!

So great that you were able to get those ugly draperies down!  And the paint really accentuates the fireplace!  Beautiful.
