Another Fun Staging Success Story!!

Juliet Johnson Staging just finished staging a home in Short Hills, NJ. Short Hills is the perfect town for Wall Streeters, with Midtown Direct train service, top-rated schools, treed streets and a tasteful mix of old and new manor homes, a few small, most large, all luxuriously high end living at its best. My company was called in for a consultation on a center hall colonial just 3 weeks ago. We had 1 week to get on the market; the family was being relocated to the UK and had to be in place for the beginning of school.

Mercifully the house was in really good condition; there was just a lot of untidiness to deal with. The challenge initially appeared insurmountable, but with many hands the work became light and fun. The client and her 4 children worked tirelessly into the night. She was a whirlwind, while her husband made repeated trips to the town dump. These clients were the best one could hope for. I brought in minimal props - including some colorful table settings for the EIK and the DR and lots of fresh flowers. It certainly paid off.

Is our market changing back to the way things were or was this house just a really good buy? When staged, it looked colorful, peaceful, spacious and inviting.

Naturally, kudos to Wendy Drucker of Burgdorff-ERA in Short Hills, NJ for once again believing in Home Staging and speaking to her clients about the benefits of homes that are staged prior to listing. Sincere admiration goes to Pocono Marketing for their luscious photos and outstanding brochure. Lastly, huge credit goes, rightfully, to the homeowner. Not only did she agree to all necessary changes, but saw the game and the adventure of presenting a home they'd cherished in a way that everyone could see for themselves.
