Staged Home in Rutherford, NJ Sold in 7 Days

This home had a lot of action at Broker's Open House. Not only did Agents show up, but so did their clients. It was wonderful to see so much energy and interest in this home on that day.

This home was in need of a lot TLC and it got it. The homeowner took the advice of the listing agent and had it painted, cleaned and staged. After the house sold I spoke to the owner and he was just thrilled about the results. They had their closing this past week and they are moving on.

A special thanks to Active Rain member and listing agent Maria Rini of Re/Max Real Estate Limited for encouraging the homeowner to stage his property.

Congratulations.  Even in a slower market, the staging and pricing are very important.

Barbara, well done and a great success story for you and Maria.  

Thank you Mary Kay, I appreciate you checking out my work and for your compliment.

Very cool and now I want to know how you put the slideshow on your blog.  Just when I think I know how to do things along comes another.

I love your slide show, who do you use?  Beautiful job, I'm sure, it looked blah before the furniture.

Just visiting again... it is a very peaceful scene you have created here... and I love the pillows on the chairs!

Kathleen and Cindy-I will have my husband e-mail you both with the info on the slide show. If you would like to see the before picutres, just go to the Gallery on my website and click on Gallery #10 it was a very big transformation.

Julianna- Thanks for stopping by again and thank you for the email.

Barbara,


This is beautifully staged.  Do buyers ever want to purchase the home with the furniture?


Mike in Tucson

Mike, So far no, but once the homes is bought I have had the buyers hire me to stage the home with their own furniture. Thank for stopping by to comment.

I'm definitely interested in staging. I sent you an email.  Please contact me as soon as you have the time.

Barbara, Congratulations! You did a beautiful job of staging this home and obviously it paid off. Can you please send me the info on your slideshow too? It really showcases your work well.

Barbara~ Congratulations!  You did a great job.  It really helps when the Realtor, Stager and Seller are on the same page.  When they have Broker opens there, so they actually invite the general public too? Or do they strongly encourage agents to bring their clients also? I think it is a great idea.

Vickie, Usually at Brokers Open House it is for Agents, but I think because this house showed so well and was priced correctly these Agents did not even want to wait for the public open house. They knew it was going to go fast, and it did.


Thanks for stopping by.

You did an great job... Wow,- I am going to check out your website.

The home looks beautiful, you did a wonderful job. Home staging can make a big difference in some homes. Great job!

Judy and Sherry, Thank you so much for your compliments. It is so nice when professional agents understand the benefits of staging. Thanks for stopping by.

Congrats, nice home. I had one close today was on the market for 13 days begining to end did't stage it. I am wondering if I could have done it quicker if i would have staged it.

Gary, the possibilities are endless with staging. Just when you think a house looks pretty good, just call in a GOOD PROFESSIONAL STAGER and you will be shocked at how they can make it look even better. Staging increases the marketability of a home.
