The scenario: Out-of-state buyers purchase a home without ever physically stepping through the front door or even seeing the property "in person".

What set this vacant home apart from all the others in the market?

Effective professional staging and a high quality photo gallery = a sold listing.

Here are the photos:

The two most common questions we get as stagers are, "Where do you purchase your inventory?" and "Where do you store your inventory?" The answer to the second question is easy: We have a large warehouse space in Lynnwood, close to the freeway, where we also park our truck. It's heated storage and we have 24 hour access, which comes in handy!

The first question is usually answered, "Everywhere!" I thought it would be fun to take a look at a staging job we did last week for a North Seattle starter home and list all the many sources we used to stage this home.

Living Room: Items in this room came from Macy's Home Store (sofa), Overstock.com (slipper chair), TJ Maxx (aqua table, lamps, pillows), Ross (mirror), Pier 1 (coffee table), Costco Home (area rug).

Dining Room: Pier 1 (dining table & chairs), Ikea (wine glasses), TJ Maxx (centerpiece, napkins, woven chargers).

Master Bedroom: TJ Maxx (leather bench, lamps, colorful pillows), stager's liquidation sale (side table with drawers), Target (bedding), Craig's List (headboard), Marshall's (artwork), Ikea (long brown pillow).

Den: Underhill's (desk, black chair), Tuesday Morning (area rug), Overstock.com (slipper chair), TJ Maxx (paisley pillow and clock).

Bathroom: Target (towels, shower curtain rod & rings), Ross (shower curtain).

Guest Bedroom: Pier 1 (iron artwork), Fred Meyer (lamps), stager's inventory reduction sale (bedding & pillows), Linens 'N Things (black trays as night tables).

Yes, we do shop everywhere! As stagers, we are constantly looking for quality items to add to our inventory. Our goal is to keep things fresh looking and to customize each staging design to highlight the features of each home. In today's market you cannot afford NOT to stage.

Here are photos of a starter home we recently staged in Shoreline, Washington. The living room had old carpeting which the sellers removed to reveal beautful and valuable hardwood floors.

Warming this space up with an area rug, soft fabrics and well placed lighting really shows potential buyers how they can enjoy this home. Who wouldn't rather walk into a home that looks cozy and warm instead of cold, dark and empty?
