Effective Staging + Great Photo Gallery = SOLD!!!

By
Home Stager with Staging Seattle, King & Snohomish Counties

The scenario:  Out-of-state buyers purchase a home without ever physically stepping through the front door or even seeing the property "in person". 

What set this vacant home apart from all the others in the market? 

Effective professional staging and a high quality photo gallery = a sold listing.

Here are the photos:

Great job Diana!  The pictures really show the home off nicely; I can understand them buying it without seeing it in person - you made them feel like they were there!

The staging is great, but I would never buy a home without walking through it several times. They really liked those photos.

I can see how the homes properly staged will sell faster, but we have a totally different method of getting hundreds of lookers through a house. We conduct estate liquidation sales for heirs, executors, attorneys and individuals. We discovered that a house contents sale puts hundreds more people through the house than a traditional open house. We ask the brokers to attend the sale and take names. Almost every person coming to the sale, either wants to buy the house or knows someone who is looking. See our website: http://www.RhodeIslandEstateSales.com At the end of each sale we have the property cleaned out and swept by a local clean up crew of veterans who do the dump run and donate any leftover usable stuff to furnish new living quarters for homeless veterans. See their website: http://www.TrashCleanouts.com  We have expanded on this very successful method for flooding the house with people and now fill up empty homes with stuff and run a staged sale. Consider this messy but worthwhile concept!

I think that the place looks lovely. You made a dated property look fresh and gave the buyers a great starting point.

Wow, you even made the paneling and dated wood cabinets look good.  May I ask what kind of camera that you use.  Nice photos.

Hi Lori,  The camera is a Canon with a wide-angle lense.  My brother-in-law takes all of our photos and he does a great job!  His wife, my sister, is my business partner and he is also a real estate agent, so he gets lots of practice.

Diana,

I love how you placed the art in the center of the large mirror over the fireplace.  The photos are beautiful and your room layout for this open floor plan is perfect.

Thanks, Bethany, Cindy and Trisha for your comments! 

We just staged another listing for this real estate agent last week.  She posted the listing on Craig's List and has potential buyers from Colorado flying out to take a look at the house this weekend.  They fell in love with the home on-line.  The power of staging + great photos and a fabulous real estate agent!

I cannot imagine buying a house without ever actually seeing it.  That said, the pictures were really great and the staging really set off the house and showed it to be full of possibilities.  I really enjoyed seeing what you did with it.
