A few weeks ago we staged this lovely Altadena Spanish Revival home. Altadena is an unincorporated city located in Los Angeles County. The home had been on the market for more than 2 months with no offers before staging.
I'm happy to report that this Altadena home is now in escrow less that 3 weeks after staging (there was an earlier offer that fell out), with multiple offers!
As you can see, the home had some furniture in it before it was staged. The owner had attempted to stage it themselves with whatever furniture they had on hand. While it was a good effort, the furniture they used and the way it was placed did not help sell the concept this was a home, not just a house. Proper furniture and accessories, along with proper placement made this Altadena Los Angeles home feel warm and welcoming.
Home staging works in Altadena and Los Angeles!

Excellent News, Michelle! and proof possative that a little Staging can work wonders!
Michelle ~ congrats on the quick sale. These success stories are so good to share here on A/R so that sellers and agents alike can "see" the poweful benefits that professional staging brings to the parties involved. Well done!
Connie: We staged this house with a minimum of addl. furniture in the living room. Mostly we brought in accessories, artwork and the Persian rug. This was a very low cost staging. Thanks!
Thank you Maureen: Appropriately priced homes that are staged and in market ready condition sell quickly, even in this "buyers" market. The Realtor really campaigned to get this home staged, with much resistance from the seller. How right she was. Offers started coming in almost immediately.
Michelle, I love to hear about Realtors campaigning agressively for staging and then IT WORKS! Hopefully the seller now sees the value since it SOLD so quickly. Great job!
Wonderful news and nice to hear your have one more doubtful seller a staging fan! Congratulations on another successful staging.
Ginger: This particular Realtor always recommends me to her clients and she does a great job of selling her listings. She is a big proponent of home staging. I didn't have a lot of contact with the client, but I hope you are right.
Thank you Cathy Lee.
Congratulations Michelle! Once again you worked your magic :)
Fantastic Results Michelle! Your work is stunning as usual. I can't say that I am surprised with the results. Continued success!
Thank you Wendy & Michele. I love when the stars align.
congrats on the quick sale -- every now and then I run into to DIY's stagers that just assume one should fill up space to make a presentation. Nice work, Michelle!
Thank you Karen. The sellers were making due with what was available. In this case, what was available was not helping to sell their home. I think it takes a professional stager to know the difference.
Congratulations on a great "make it work with what you have" staging job Michelle! There is no doubt that the sellers now know why staging with YOU is the way to go and will hopefully refer you to other sellers they know.
Way to go, Michelle! Put together a very smart realtor and an extremely talented professional stager and you will have an incredibly fortunate seller every time. Thanks for sharing the great news!
Thank you Debra. I hope you are correct.
Mary: Thank you. I'm happy we were able to get it sold.
Michelle - Beautiful staging work! And yet another wonderful stat to share with potential future clients in this challenging market. Its great to work with realtors who know how to get their clients on board with staging. You and your realtor are lucky to have one another.
