The difference staging can make!

When selling your vacant Silver Spring, MD area property, staging can make a huge difference. Simply put, staging will turn a house into a home and that is exactly what Silver Spring, MD home buyers are looking for!

A case in point, my listing in the Arora Hills subdivision of Clarksburg, MD. The house had a lot of beautiful and desirable features but it didn't seem warm, comfortable and homey. Staging the main areas - entrance, living & dining room, kitchen and master bedroom - took care of that!

The comments and feedback I received were proof enough that staging this vacant home was well worth it:

"Wow!", "This is lovely!", "Home shows beautifully!" and "Is this a former model home?"

... and we received 3 offers and are under contract!

The staging was done by Roslyn Ashford, owner of rareDoesRooms! THANK YOU Roslyn!

Hi Andrea, I am a huge fan of staging vacant homes. It really does make a difference and shows the buyer's how the rooms can be filled. An empty room just feels cold and often buyers just can't visualize how their stuff will fit in the rooms unless it's right there is front of them. Congrats on the offers!

Congratulations.  And she did a beautiful job and it certainly makes a space feel like a home and now a house when properly staged.
