Laurie Calhoun Seminole County FL Home Stager

Staging a Home That Existed Briefly

On the weekend of January 15-17, Gloria Home Staging had the opportunity to stage the Monty Anderson Construction Group's display home at the Orlando Spring Home & Garden Show. They began building the home right there in the Orange County Convention Center on Wednesday morning. By the time we arrived on Thursday afternoon, it was ready for us to make it beautiful.

Thousands of people walked through the home during the weekend -- it made a big impression! The folks from Monty Anderson were great to work with, and we appreciate having the chance to work with them to make their display home a success. Click on the picture below to see how it looked:

Light Staging: Less Is More For Orlando Home Sold in 1 Day

Home staging is an investment in selling your home quickly, but these days, many home owners are hard-pressed to make a significant investment in getting their home ready for buyers. This is especially a problem for vacant homes, which need to be furnished to appeal the most to buyers.

At Gloria Home Staging, we had the answer to this problem for the owners of this Orlando home. We suggested Light Staging – using fewer and smaller pieces of furniture to keep the price down, but still accomplish the goal of making the home appealing. It worked, too: the owners showed the home an hour after we finished staging it, and received an offer the next morning!

Is 18 Days Fast Enough for Ya?

Gloria Home Staging staged this home in Windermere, Florida, and 18 days after listing, it was under contract. When we first saw it, it was dirty and disordered, but the owner was motivated to sell. She evicted the tenants, had all the damage repaired, and cleaned it from top to bottom. Her Realtor priced it well, and it sold seven times faster than the average Windermere home.

Staging Leads to 2d Look, Home Sells in 30 Days

This beautiful home in Oviedo, FL, went on the market on January 26, and was under contract on February 25. That's only 30 days! And Gloria Home Staging was an important part of that success. The buyer originally thought that some areas of the home were too small, but she loved the décor and staging so much that it brought her back for a second look. The staging helped make her want to live in this home, above all the others she saw.

This is what she would have seen if the home had not been staged:

The home has been immaculately cared for, and the staging makes that plain. It is no longer so obviously someone else's home to the buyer, since the collections have been packed away. The rooms are bright and spacious and inviting and full of promise. It looks like home to the buyer!
