Staging on Oahu's famous North Shore

By
Real Estate Agent with HI Pro Realty LLC RB-21531 RS-76763

Aloha AR,

Here's my latest staging project in Waialua, on Oahu's famous North Shore. This two bedroom, one bath condo goes on the market this week and will be priced around 220-230K. Which is low for the North Shore area.

A mere block from the beach with beautiful views of Mt. Ka'ala, this cozy condo should sell quickly. I love Waialua, it's hip, laid back, and has lots of character and characters.

Lost is filmed down the road and surfer celebrities abound. The surfing is spectacular and the sunsets are stunning.  

 

I used a very bold pumpkin brown wall color in this staging against my staging sensibilities. I really liked how it turned out, however, we'll see how the public responds at this weekend's open house.

What a cold, barren space you turned into a warm inviting retreat.  The paint makes a huge difference.

That is a huge difference.  That is not a color I would have selected, but it really works well, especially with the furniture.

Another fantastic staging job! I am sure the public will respond favorably to this warm and inviting space.  You took this blank canvas and painted a very beautiful picture. Continued success!

Thanks for the sweet listing on the associations form.  You really made my day!

Great job Kimo!  I miss the North Shore.... sigh.... Hey, maybe I can visit - stage a home with you and call it a business trip?

I'll keep an eye out for that post, Kimo.  We recently did the "krunk" house which was floor to ceiling venetian plaster (nightmare),  we figured it out but we keep running inot more and more homes with brick, cinderblock, etc.

You're building quite a fan base! ;-)

Kimo,

This looks as laid back and as hip as you. Great job. I agree with Melissa and Gina. Business trip or field trip, either one works for me!

I was just checking in to see if you posted how the Pumpkin color was received at the open house?  I'm using some pretty saturated colors on a couple accent walls in a staging on the Ventura Marina, I'm interested to know how yours went.

Kimo, the pumpkin wall looks great and adds warmth to the room.  I like that you only did one wall in the pumpkin color.  Let us know how the buyers respond to it!
