 In this house the living room was ok, but did not have that wow effect buyers want to see. It was clear to me that if they wanted to create a bidding war, they needed to change the living room and a few more things in the house. Needless to say it all paid off. |

 I always tell my clients: “You dont get money for offices, you get money for bedrooms!” and here is a perfect example. This house had 4 bedroom and this one was one of them. People have a hard time visualizing how big the room is if the wrong furniture is in it, or if there is no furniture at all. |

 It is important to show furniture in the dining room, but it has to be the right scale and style for the house, and for the room itself. In this case we knew we had to change the dining table, chairs, and light fixture. The wood table in this case was too chunky for the space and was not right for the neighborhood. This paid off for them big time, as they got more than they anticipated. |

 Not poorly decorated before, but the "after" shows more sophistication and appeal. |

 When it comes to looks, Dining rooms are so important. When you get the right furniture, art, and accessories in the dining room, it sheds a whole new light on the house. As you can see, the new furniture makes the house look new, which is what buyers are willing to pay more money for. |

 Nice bedding and the right art, are key to making a bedroom look great. Just having a bed in the room is just not good enough if you want to get a really good price for your house. Buyers want to fall in love and live YOUR lifestyle. If your lifestyle is not appealing to them they will not pay as much for your house. Buyers are willing to pay more money for something they like and don’t have to fix. |

 In this house the family room was used as the living room, while the living room was used as the play room. Great for living NOT for selling. We wanted to show an eating area in the family room giving the house another functional room. |

 This couple was using this room as an office and closet. When we came in, it looked to us like there was not enough closet space in the house. another problem… it looked like a 2 bedroom house. We needed to show this area as a bedroom. I thought what a perfect place for a crib. This would speak to any expecting parent. And so it did. Making a challenging room into an asset. The house was purchased by a couple who was expecting a baby in a few months. |

 This space was a second bedroom in this downtown condo, which the home owner was using as an office. It was impossible to see how large of a bed could fit in the room. Once it was set up as a bedroom, it was an easy sell. |

 Before we came in, this place was on the market for 30 days with no offer. The feedback the agent was getting is that the ceiling in the bedrooms is too low. This is a loft where the living space had really high ceiling, while the bedrooms had divided ceiling heights, totaling 6’ in each floor. Once we staged the loft, it sold in 6 days with not one comment on the low ceiling. as you can imagine… we did not raise the ceiling. Just showed the potential of a fabulous lifestyle. |

 Before staging, this room looked utilitarian and was not inviting. |

 The empty room didn't really give a function to this awesome space. The after image speaks for itself. |

 Rearrang the furniture, paint the walls, and the room takes on a completely different feel. From a kid "rec" room to an upscale and spacious room for entertaining. |

|
 A much more adult master bedroom. |

 Notice how the staged property looks larger than the empty one… Having furniture in a room give the buyer perspective of how large each room is, adding value in the buyers mind to what they are willing to pay. |

 This family had 3 little kids and had furniture perfect for their comfort. In order to sell the house for the right price, we needed to give it a new look. |
