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!

Many homes lend themselves to Light Staging. If you have a home for sale in the Orlando area, call us at Gloria Home Staging, and we’ll be glad to help make it stand out for buyers!
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.
If you are selling a home in the Orlando area, give Gloria Home Staging a call. Our homes have been selling in an average of 30 days after staging, and we would be pleased to help you sell yours, too.

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:
This is what she saw:
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!
How could anyone interested in home staging stay away? The first StagersLIST.com Expo of 2009 will take place at Cort Furniture Rental in Winter Park, Florida on March 17 and 18. It will be two days packed with information on the staging industry and on running a staging business. What a great opportunity!
My partner, Susan Stevens, and I have the privilege of serving as the local coordinators of the Expo, so we've been getting a preview of the exciting things in store for stagers, realtors, and all the others who sign up and come. On Day One, we'll be hearing from Terrylynn Fisher and Kym Hough from StagersLIST, as well as industry leaders Christine Rae and Shell Brodnax. Among other things, they will be discussing running a thriving staging business in a down economy, market trends, and demystifying the Realtor.
Day Two is Workshop Day. There will be practical training in business practices, including green marketing, web presence, portfolios, and understanding client behavior. Local expert Tabitha Miller will be there to discuss Feng Shui and home-selling. Come for one, or stay for them all - workshops can be purchased individually or as a package.
Go to www.StagersLISTExpo.com to register. It's going to be a great event. Don't miss it!
Last month, Gloria Home Staging had the privilege of staging a townhouse in Casselberry, FL. It went on the market at the beginning of December, and the early results are in. During the month it has been listed, which included the Christmas and New Year's holidays, it had four showings, resulting in two offers! The price is excellent, and the staging is doing its part to get this home sold!

"I so appreciate the staging done by Gloria Home Staging. Literally 30 minutes after they finished staging our home, we showed it and received an acceptable offer the next morning. The work Susan and Laurie do is excellent and professional. I firmly believe that they were the overriding reason for our quick sale. Thanks, Gloria Home Staging!" (Julie, Orlando)
"The... property went on the market on January 26 and the effective date of their contract was February 25th. I know that this buyer was especially fond of the staging of the home. When she visited initially she thought that some areas were smaller than she would like but loved the decor and staging so much it brought her back." (Debbie, Winter Park, FL)
"We are so very appreciative for your wisdom and expertise in helping us get our house ready to sell... I know what I like when I see something already done, but to rearrange and take out my personality would have been impossible without the two of you. The list of items to go has been so helpful, too. You are thorough, and so willing to help it happen." (Mary Lou, Oviedo, FL)
“Laurie and her company Gloria Home Staging have provided excellent service to a number of our clients in helping them creatively and inexpensively stage their property to sell faster and at a higher price in a very difficult real estate market." (David, Winter Park, FL)
"Laurie is a delight to work with, she understood the needs and expectations of my Sellers after our first consultation. She is very creative offering lots of ideas. After her initial visit, she provided several affordable packages to my Sellers giving them a choice that will work well within their budget. The results were amazing! I would highly recommend her and her company to others needing decorating and or staging services." (Joanne, Lake Mary, FL)
