Bachelor #3 - Staged And Under Contract In Two Days

My husband and I have belonged to a Dinner Club, with a group of very good friends, for over twenty years. Of course they all know that Margo and I have a staging company and are always interested in how we are doing. In February, one of the single gentlemen put us to the test.

He is getting married in May and needed to sell his house so he asked if we would stage it for him. Immediately I had two thoughts: "Yeah we have a job," and "Oh no, what if it doesn't sell - I'll never live it down." The following day I called Margo and this is what she said, "Get over yourself - of course it will sell. We firmly believe in the power of staging and let's show your friends what staging can do!"

We did our prep work, and while he was open to using rental furniture - he wouldn't change out the carpet. We tried!! The house was staged on a Thursday and it hit MLS on Monday, April lst. By Wednesday he had signed a contract with the purchaser and we went in and destaged April 30th. At Dinner Club in early May, he was singing our praises. He also mentioned how his buyers had asked to come in one day to have the house measured for new flooring!

Here are a few before and after pics.
