Simply Staged Inc. had the pleasure of working on this occupied home located in Rockford, IL. We utilized some of the home seller's existing furniture and added a few pieces of rental furniture. Simply Staged rental accessories were also brought in to showcase the home.

Many thanks to the home sellers who so tirelessly painted, cleaned, packed and made a few updates. Simply Staged provided the recommendations and they decided to do the prep work themselves, which had a positive impact on the budget. Teaming up with Rockford Area Home Staging Expert ensures your home will be showcased to its fullest potential.

It seems like I just blogged about this Rockford, IL home. In fact, I did! The reason I wanted to follow up with an update is because once again I heard the statement, "Staging is only for high end listings."

Simply Staged was called in to give upgrade recommendations and stage the home. A team effort by the Seller, Realtor and Stager produced another success story. The home had multiple offers in the first week and went under contract in 7 days!

While it is certainly a charming home, it went to market with an asking price of $115,000. Another example of why staging is not just for high end homes.

The sellers of this Rockford IL home were excited to be relocating. They knew it was necessary to make some improvements before going to market, but were not positive where to focus their dollars. Their Realtor suggested bringing in Simply Staged Inc. to provide recommendations for improvements and stage the home.

Simply Staged Inc. made recommendations that would have the most impact, while maintaining the budget. It all came together with the help/work of the home sellers, painters and handymen. The sellers were able to leave their furniture in the home while selling. Michele Hess of Simply Staged, reworked the seller's furniture and brought in all of the art/accessories, etc. (Coffee/End Tables were also brought in for staging.)

Another team approach involving the seller, Realtor and stager properly preparing a home for market. Below are a few before photos and a link to the virtual tour showcasing the home after the updates and staging was complete.
