It is that time of year again for the local Raleigh Chapter of International Association of Home Staging Professionals® (IAHSP®) to join together for World Wide Staging Day. Kerry Celestini, Marketing Manager for Habitat for Humanity for Wake County called me earlier this month to see if I could stage their very first Parade Home. This was the perfect project for our World Wide Staging Event that our chapter was looking for and everyone is participating for such a great organization.

Here is a picture of the home and below is an excerpt from the press release. We hope that you can make it on your Parade Route Starting October 4, 2008.

Raleigh Home Stagers join together to Redesign Commerical Real Estate

I had the fortunate opportunity of joining forces with another Raleigh Home Staging Company on a great commercial staging project. Lasting Impressions Staging & Design teamed up with Well Dressed Homes, owned by Janine Varney to stage and re-design South Terrace at Auburn Apartments in Durham, NC. Their 2BDR/2BA model apartment was in much need of an update for the demographics in Durham. They also wanted to create an upscale image in the Clubhouse/Business center and change the Carriage House into a Game/entertainment space for the residents.

The most amazing part of this project is that we completed the entire project in 28 days from start to finish!

Durham, NC Builder Stages & Sold in 28 days!

After TWO years of being on the market a Durham Builder, just outside of Raleigh, N.C. decided to try staging his spec home, which his new on site agent recommended. It is a great success story that keeps going and going. I originally wrote about a home we staged last Parade of Homes....Full Circle for a Stager - Parade of Homes Update. Then recently we staged again for this Realtor in a new neighborhood.....A Realtor in Raleigh Moves on, but takes his Home Stager with him.

Today to sold sign went up 28 days after staging. This was the second contract on the home in the last two weeks and it was a keeper. We are moving everything to the next home for this builder in the same neighborhood for a repeat performance.

If your home has been lingering on the market, what are you waiting for? Call a Professional Home Stager in your area to assist moving your standing inventory.
