Color: A Powerful Real Estate Marketing Tool

03-18-08
Diana Young

Color makes all the difference when showing a home for sale. Color can draw a person into a space and create a warm, welcoming feeling. The color palate should be consistent throughout the house for good flow. As professional stagers, it is our goal to keep the focus on the home, not the "stuff" we have brought in to enhance the space.

In this example, warm paint colors highlight the white trim in the dining room and accent the media wall in the family room. The colors used to stage this home are warm yellow/gold, cream, black, cranberry and sage green. As you can see, these colors photograph wonderfully and the paint just adds the finishing touch of sophistication often lacking in new construction.

These paint colors were chosen for the builder by Diana Young of SISTERS Interior Redesign.

Staging Sells a Lifestyle

Staging is more than providing furniture for a vacant property. When staging is done well, it sells a lifestyle that today's buyers are looking for. Professional stagers know how to maximize the space to create warm and inviting spaces that say "Welcome Home!" to all who enter.

Here are two Edmonds condos, both in the same building, both for sale in a large resort style condo community with sweeping views of Puget Sound. As a potential buyer, which condo would you decide to view in person?

Condo One:

Condo Two:

As you might have figured out, the same condo is in both photos! The first photo is "before" staging and the second photo is "after" staging.

When selling, don't just sell the house, sell potential buyers on the lifestyle that can be theirs when they purchase your home.

Staging is all about creating a welcoming atmosphere and creating buyer interest in a home. Recent studies have shown that greater than 75% of home buyers use the Internet to search for homes prior to viewing them in person. Staging highlights the home, not the "stuff".

This just completed Edmonds home, built by Craig Reimer of Eaglewood Construction, was recently staged by SISTERS Interior Redesign. The craftsman style home features breathtaking views of Puget Sound from almost every room and is a wonderful home for entertaining. If you are in the neighborhood, stop by and take a look! The listing agents are John Bishoff and John Reich of Windermere Real Estate, Edmonds. The home is open on weekends, and they look forward to meeting you! 901 Cedar Street, Edmonds, WA 98020

It's Almost Magic: Staging Makes a Room Feel Larger

Yes, this is the same room! This lower level family room really is a great space, but you'd never know it if you looked at the MLS photo online prior to staging. With the addition of color, lighting, greenery, artwork and properly scaled furniture, this room is now warm and inviting.

Home Staging is a Powerful Marketing Tool and Here is the Proof

Today I received this email from one of our clients:

"Diana and Alisa,

Thank you SO much for your staging services. As you know we were relocating rather quickly and so we needed to have a completely vacant house staged so we could sell our home quickly. The time of year (December) and the slowing market were very concerning to us, yet I'm convinced that your staging was a critical factor in showing off our home in the best possible light! Our agent was very impressed and told us that our home received far more showings and sold much faster than anything comparable in our area.

We believe your staging was a critical factor in wowing the buyers so much that it allowed us to negotiate a more than full price offer with our house on the market far less than the average home in a slowing market. I'm sure the buyers also recived the benefit seeing possible ways to take great advantage of the rooms in their new home.

Thank you once again!"

- Nate & Traci
