Home Staging Tips: Making Giant Strides with a Home Staging Consultation

Based on a recommendation from their listing agent, these smart homeowners hired our Portland Oregon home staging company for a Verbal Consultation recently.  During the consultation, we provided cost-effective home staging tips including easy cosmetic fixes, the best furniture placement to create a good traffic flow, paint colors, curb appeal & landscaping ideas, updating cabinet hardware, etc.

The sellers followed our advice and staged the home themselves, then had a Pending Sale within 3 Days! How did they do it?  The “Winning Formula” includes:

• Selecting a great Realtor who guides you to the right listing price and provides excellent online marketing

• Doing everything you can to make the house look appealing to your target buyer – including hiring a professional home stager to provide a Verbal Consultation

• Make sure your online photos are the best quality

These Before & After photos tell the story …..

Kitchen before was dated and tired looking 

Painting the cabinets*, replacing the dishwasher, adding an easy tile backsplash & new hardware updated the kitchen on a budget; no need to change the counter-tops or flooring

* The cabinets were updated with Rustoleum’s “Cabinet Transformations,” and the color is Bayleaf (no glaze was used).

The living room before was too crowded 

Replacing the oversize chair and excess clutter, and painting the brass fireplace screen black opened up this room and made a huge improvement in its appeal

We are seeing the same amazing results over and over again … sellers who use the “Winning Formula” are selling their homes quickly in the Portland Oregon area.  You can, too!  To get started, contact us for a home staging Verbal Consultation.  At just $175, it’s a smart investment that provides a great return on your investment!
