This Seattle area starter home recently sold in fewer than 30 days on the market. The home was well prepared by the owners (freshly painted and clean) and the vacant property was professionally staged. As I reviewed these photos, here are some reasons why I think the staging helped in the quick sale of this home:
The home was the star, not the "stuff". The furniture and accessories selected were properly sized for the rooms. The furniture arrangement showed potential buyers how they could live comfortably in the space. The spaces actually felt larger after staging than they did when empty.
Color was consistent throughout, creating a feeling of cohesion. Orange, blue, yellow and green with accents of cream and and black worked with the architectural elements of the home. These colors also photograph very well. Studies have shown that over 80% of people look at homes online prior to deciding whether or not to tour them in person.

In today's real estate market it's important to have your listings stand out from the crowd. Even in the "starter home" price points, today's buyers want their new home to be move in ready. Staging a vacant home can make it feel instantly welcoming and cozy. Especially in the winter months it's important to have adequate lighting throughout the house and to remember to keep the heat at a comfortable level. Adding color to compliment the existing elements in the home, showing buyers how they can live comfortably in the space, and setting the stage for a positive emotional reaction to the home is what a good home stager can provide.

With all the new construction on the market today, it really makes sense to pull out all the stops and make YOUR LISTINGS stand out from the crowd of "builder beige" and cold feeing, empty spaces. Warm things up with some well selected paint colors, cozy furniture, area rugs, artwork, greenery...in a word STAGING!!! With more and more savvy buyers searching the internet for their next home, staging can help sell those folks on a lifestyle they want to own, just by looking a the photos on-line.
So, consider staging when marketing those newly constructed homes. You'll be glad you did!

Adding some black pieces in a home, whether it be furniture, an area rug, artwork frames or candlesticks can add a sense of sophistication and elegance to any room. This photo is a perfect example of how black adds these qualities to a room. The Everett, Washington, newly constructed staged home has been getting rave reviews from potential buyers who love the "great room" concept and the affordable sophistication that this home offers. After staging, several homes within this new community have sold to buyers who feel in love with the comfortable yet upscale presentation provided by this staged.

"Diana and Alisa,
Thank you SO much for your staging services. As you know we were relocating rather quickly and so we needed to have a completely vacant house staged so we could sell our home quickly. The time of year (December) and the slowing market were very concerning to us, yet I'm convinced that your staging was a critical factor in showing off our home in the best possible light! Our agent was very impressed and told us that our home received far more showings and sold much faster than anything comparable in our area.
We believe your staging was a critical factor in wowing the buyers so much that it allowed us to negotiate a more than full price offer with our house on the market far less than the average home in a slowing market. I'm sure the buyers also received the benefit seeing possible ways to take great advantage of the rooms in their new home.
Thank you once again!"
