Recently I posted a blog about a rather awkward location for a "door" in a home we recently Staged in Oxnard, CA Mandalay Beach. The Owner had aptly dubbed the home, "the house of doors" and she hit the nail on the head.
The following is a series of pictures ALL from the SAME ROOM - which happens to be the first room & first impression of the home ~ The ENTRY! Count 'em with me: and a 1, and a 2, and........yes, there are 10 doors/entrances into this ONE room.
#1 - Coat Closet
#2 - FRONT DOOR to home
#3 - One of two entrances to garage
#4 - Another closet
#5 - Second entrance to tandem garage
#6 - Storage closet
#7 - Sliding door to a tiny court yard
#8 - Yet another storage closet
But wait, we're not done!
#9 - Hallway to the Guest Bedrooms
Yes, a Fireplace to boot
#10 - Stairs leading to the 2nd floor
WHEW!
You certainly can't say that this house doesn't have enough storage!

We recently Staged a beautiful, architectural home in Oxnard, CA. The home had been on the market for a time with little interest, so the Owners & Realtor called Platinum Home Staging, Inc. to come in, Stage the home and make sense of it's awkward floor plan.
However, the Owners wanted to be present while we worked our magic. We politely explained that they would probably get a bit overwhelmed by everything that goes on "behind the scenes" as we Staged the home, and it would better to come back for the "big reveal" later that day.
But for those interested, here is a sneak-peak "behind the scenes" of just one room in the home. You'll notice the gradual progression of furniture, accessory bins, placements, etc. It was hard to get the pictures lined up to match perfectly, and even harder to remember to take the pictures randomly through-out the day.
ENJOY the voyerism into Staging a Home!

It was the best of times, It was the worst of times.....This is a tale of Two Condos and truly is a case of "All Things Being Equal" in terms of how Home Staging can GREATLY assist in selling your condo, home or estate. Well.... almost equal
In November 2008, two condos with the EXACT same floor plans were on the market and were just 2 DOORS APART within the condo community in the highly sought after Westlake Village area. Both had 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, were 1,149 square feet, fireplace and both had HOA fees of $270 per month.
Condo #1 was actually listed in JUNE 2008 Condo #2 was listed on Oct 31, 2008
Condo #1 was actually FARTHER AWAY from Condo #2 was actually listed at a busy city street (less noise) and CLOSER to $10,000 HIGHER than Condo #1 the community pool
Condo #1 although clean, was left in "as is" condition Condo #2 embraced Home Staging
Results:
Condo #1: Priced lower & in "better" location was vacant & on the market since JUNE 2008, only just recently sold on May 5, 2009 for $392,500
Condo #2: was priced higher, embraced some minor upgrades and Home Staging - SOLD on December 4, 2008 for $412,500 (less than 5 weeks on the market)
The small investment in Home Staging can save you THOUSANDS of dollars in carrying costs, maintenance or marketing materials. Not including the mortgage fees, property taxes or special assessments of the HOA, the Owner of Condo #2 EARNED $22,700 by choosing to listen to their REALTOR and embrace Home Staging!

Your home's first impression is the most important one. You want your home to be inviting and memorable, to stand out among the hundreds of homes that Buyer's may be looking at.

After all, ...How you live in your home, and how you sell your home, are two completely different things.
Our Staged homes, even in this tough market, are still selling within an average of 8 weeks, on average, from the date of Staging or listing on the MLS. As well, all of the homes that we have Staged have sold within 95% of the asking price. Pretty tough numbers to deny the benefits of the services provided by Platinum Home Staging, Inc.

I want to tell you what a difference working with you and Platinum Home Staging made in the sale of my grandmother's home. After having the house on the market for over a year, we needed to change things up and luckily we met you. Your design and staging was key to why the house sold (in only 30 days after we first talked!) Working with you was such a pleasure and made all the difference in the sale of our home. My family looks forward to doing more projects with you and Platinum Home Staging.
Warm regards,
Kathryn Moseley - Home Owner

You are very talented, your proposals are reasonable in price and we love that you came up with a great number of options. Though we originally intended to interview several staging companies, I can tell you that this changed after meeting you as we were both very impressed with your professionalism, the array of options, budget choices, and your fabulous follow-through. We did not feel the need to look any further.

I just wanted to thank you again for the awesome job you did in the living room. I sat in there with the baby until my husband arrived home that evening just mesmerized. It feels so good to sit in and pass through this room. My husband also loves the room and said that he would like you to work on our family room. For our next project, my goal was to start working on my bedroom, but I think the family room is a must now especially when you compare it to the living room.
