Our Mission Statement

We promise to offer personalized services tailored to your property's individual needs and to showcase your home to its best advantage, whether you are selling it or living in it.

We pledge to deliver superior service at competitive prices and to perform our work with honesty, integrity, and the utmost respect for your property.

Statistics Prove Home Staging WORKS in Portland

For 2011 (YTD through 12-15-2011), Room Solutions has staged and helped sell over $14,500,000 worth of real estate in the Portland metro area. Our average Days On Market in 2011 is just 27 days -- compared to the Portland average of 130+ Days on Market. When you also factor in that the homes we've staged have sold on average at 97% of list price, staging makes excellent financial sense.

Why take the risk of paying carrying costs each month for a mortgage, property taxes, & HOA dues, not to mention the inevitable price reductions when your home doesn't sell? A staged home can encourage more viewings, faster offers and a pending sale. Using our professional home staging services can save you time and money, whether you need a cost-effective Staging Consultation or Staging of an Occupied or a Vacant home.

Staging Your Home Works

Real estate statistics show that staged homes sell faster than un-staged homes, and usually for a higher sales price as well. A properly staged home showcases the home's best features, downplays any flaws and adds a warm, inviting touch that resonates with buyers and creates a powerful first impression. Contact us to make sure that your home stands out from the competition!

Staging Your Home Is A Smart Investment

The investment in staging is always less than a price reduction. Regardless of market fluctuations, staging will give your home an edge over competing properties. It's the all-important "packaging" that helps a home sell faster and for maximum profit.

In addition, your investment in staging may also be tax deductible; refer to IRS Publication 523 and your professional tax advisor for more information on deducting this marketing expense.

Home Staging Services Offered To Homeowners, Builders, Banks and Investors

• Walk through Verbal Consultation (Occupied Home or Vacant Property): This service is geared towards the homeowner (or Realtor who'd like to provide this service for their client) in an Occupied or a Vacant home. We walk through the property with the homeowner or listing agent while you take notes of our recommendations for easy cosmetic repairs, light fixture replacements, interior & exterior paint colors, creating focal points, optimum furniture placement, best window coverings, deep cleaning and editing collections and photos, curb appeal & landscaping enhancements, etc. We also provide written tips on preparing for the Open House and keeping your home ready for showings. Up to 2 hours of time; within 20 miles of SW Portland – $175; $30 for each additional 30 minutes.
• Home Staging Service for Occupied Homes: If the home is Occupied while on the market, we will work with and edit the seller's furniture and provide any additional accessories (if needed) to create an inviting, cohesive look to the décor. Our service includes quality digital photos that can be used in the online listing or in marketing materials. The pricing of this service depends on the size of the property, the number of rooms staged and whether accessories are included for rent. Because every project is unique, we're happy to provide a no-obligation staging proposal for your property.
• Home Staging Service for Vacant Homes: Using our extensive staging inventory, we can stage a Vacant property to ensure that it's appealing to your target buyer. We usually recommend staging the main "impact" rooms of the home, but can also provide "light" staging if required by the budget and situation. Our service includes quality digital photos that can be used in the online listing or in marketing materials. The pricing of this service depends on the size of the property and the number of rooms staged. Because every project is unique, we're happy to provide a no-obligation staging proposal for your property.

Using photos and room dimensions that you provide electronically, we will advise which pieces of furniture to keep, which to remove, how to showcase the space for maximum appeal, as well as cosmetic improvements to consider. The cost of this ranges from $150 to $250 depending on how many rooms are included.
• Full Day or Half Day Home Makeover (ReStyling) Projects: If you'd like a fresh look in your home or just don't know how to best configure your furniture, our home makeover service may be just what you need.

We'll assess your place of business from the perspective of a customer, then advise you on what simple cosmetic and furnishings changes should be made to create a more inviting and professional look. Easy changes can make your clients feel welcome and relaxed! A Verbal Consultation is just $175 for up to 2 hours of time.

What Our Clients in the Portland OR Area are Saying…

"Maureen made the staging and showing of our home effortless in one of the worst markets in recent history. Her recommendations for updating our home allowed us to make improvements where it did the most good. If not for Maureen, we would have spent a lot more money on unnecessary renovations that wouldn't have helped the sale of our home. With savvy upgrades and Maureen's beautiful home staging, we had potential buyers coming to the house every week. It's no accident our home sold this year (2011) when other homes in our area aren't moving at all. We can thank Maureen and Room Solutions Staging for that."
−− Jane and Michele Sharp, Damascus, OR

"Excellent product and service! Maureen is a consummate professional who is passionate about the value-add her home staging service provides, and she obviously loves what she does. She provided a written estimate within 24 hours of meeting me at the house … then she staged the property and emailed photographs of the final results (which was a very nice touch so I could update the listing). I'm confident it will help attract the right buyer to this property."
−− Colleen Malone ~ Principal Broker, Moxie Realty, Portland OR

"The house looks great being professionally staged, Thanks!"
−− Cindy Oja, CRS, GRI, Broker ~ John L Scott Real Estate, Portland OR

"How's that for fast work … your home staging definitely made this quick sale possible - Thanks!"
−− Mary Parrish, Beaverton OR

"We have started painting some of the rooms, and everything looks great!! Have had many compliments so far from family and friends … thanks again for the great advice."
−− Ed Giesbers, Forest Grove OR

"Thank you Maureen, we love our new partnership. Pretty amazing what we were able to do with our last listing! It was on the market with another agent for over a year before we came in and developed our marketing plan, which included your expert home staging services - we went from listed to SOLD within 40 days! Now it's on to the next one!"
−− Jason & Amber Gardner, The Gardner Team ~ Hasson Company Realtors, Sherwood OR

"We contacted Maureen based on a recommendation -- boy were we glad we did! She gave us sound home staging advice that "showed the space" in our home's interior. Maureen was also very professional in telling us that our main exterior paint color was not mainstream and a different color would likely attract more interest. Not only was she right, she helped select a main color that would compliment the existing trim and shake colors, saving us hundreds of dollars. Her home staging advice and service was a big part of why our home sold in 45 days, even in the Winter months and during a tough time in the Portland real estate market."
−− P & A Wong, Portland OR

"Maureen with Room Solutions is one of the best home stagers in her industry. As a Realtor, I highly value home staging and recommend it to all of my clients. Maureen responds immediately to my calls and emails and has a very professional and kind yet firm way with my sellers. I am very confident in her abilities and her knowledge of her profession. Whether you are a Realtor hiring her to assist your seller in getting their home ready for the market, or a seller who knows that home staging will help get top dollar, Maureen is the way to go."
−− Karina Stark, Principal Broker, John L. Scott Real Estate, Portland OR

"Thank you, Maureen. I am very pleased with the staging results and appreciate everything you did to tie it all together."
−− Doris Schwab, Portland OR

"Thank you again for all your help - because of your staging advice and guidance, we attracted the perfect buyer who immediately fell in love with the condo! We got a full price offer too! If we can ever be a reference for future clients, please don't hesitate to ask - we're huge fans!"
−− Tselani Richmond, Lake Oswego OR

"Thank you so very, very much -- you have done a spectacular staging job Maureen."
−− Ivy Stanton, Zip Realty, Portland OR

−− Milan Cole, Broker ~ JMA Properties LLC, Portland OR

"The house looks fantastic. Besides being beautiful and functional, it is easy to maintain, even with two dogs! The Open House received lots of positive feedback."
−− Kyle and Amy Ruthnick, Milwaukie OR

"We were very pleased with Maureen's work from start to finish. Her proposal was easy to understand, the contract was well laid out and the work was performed exceptionally well. Maureen helped us pick a great interior paint color too. As a result of hiring Maureen, we were able to sell a vacant house within two days of it being staged and listed. If we hadn't staged the house with Maureen's help, who knows how long it would have stayed on the market. Thank you Maureen!!"
−− Michael Hass, Sherwood OR

"Maureen is awesome! Since I was using my own furniture, she recommended removing & moving some pieces and adding some inexpensive decor pieces. It looked great! She definitely knows what she is doing and puts you at ease the moment you meet her. All this for a reasonable fee -- a great investment. I'll most certainly recommend her to my friends and family and would definitely use Maureen in the future for interior decorating ideas too."
−− Cathy DesRochers, Portland OR

"WOW! Is that our house? It looks amazing! Thank you so much! It was great working with you and if you need a reference just send them our way!!"
−− Ron and Pam Errico, Beaverton OR

"We use Room Solutions Staging to stage our remodeled homes because of their great service, expertise and their incredible results. Prospective buyers, their agents, and everyone else raves about their designs. We sell our homes quickly, thanks in large part to Room Solutions Staging."
−− Frank Halpin, Principal ~ Ruby Northwest Design & Remodeling, Portland OR

"We chose to stage our home in hopes that it would sell quickly because with two small children it is very difficult to keep the house looking presentable at all times. We went with Maureen Bray from Room Solutions. I thought our house looked pretty good beforehand, but after following all of Maureen's suggestions our house looked absolutely stunning! We had an offer 5 days after we put it on the market! When we sell again we'll be sure to come back to Room Solutions for Maureen's expert advice."
−− Sarah Lausevic, Hillsboro OR

"Thanks Maureen! Two weeks on the market, four showings, and an offer accepted. You were wonderful!"
−− Vic and Stefanie Cao, Portland OR

"Thank you for the excellent staging. Please include us in your next testimonial. We had incredibly positive comments on your staging and we feel your work was integral to the successful sale."
−− John & Priscilla DeCosta ~ Principal Brokers, Keller Williams, Portland OR

"Maureen came to my home to help with furniture arranging and staging (redesign). She had great ideas; rearranging & changing just a few things made a tremendous difference. Maureen has a great eye and was wonderful to work with. Things look so much better now; I'd highly recommend Room Solutions to anyone who is looking to freshen up their decor or staging a home for sale."
−− Lauri Dixon, Portland OR

"I want to thank you for staging my home; I know your talent helped to sell it. I am grateful to Deborah Jackson for recommending you; she was right when she told me that using your services would help my home to sell. I will recommend you to my friends."
−− Myrna Marsa, Hillsboro OR

"I appreciate your expert advice on color choices coupled with all the staging work. I'd suggested to my sellers that changing several of these items would improve buyer perception, but they were reluctant to listen. Maureen, you must have a way with words…they listened to you. Thanks so much! My sellers' home looks like a showpiece, much more warm and presentable. Your work is very professional, and the photos were a big help as well. I'd certainly recommend Room Solutions Staging again!"
−− David Somerville, PC ~ Prudential NW Properties, Portland OR

"Maureen was absolutely fabulous. She gave me so many ideas and was incredibly positive as my 1970's house gets a new face. She is an incredible resource, and she was very willing to work around my schedule. I highly, highly recommend her. She deserves an 'A+' rating."
−− Glenda Douglass, Lake Oswego OR

"Thanks again for your beautiful work. As it turns out the very first people that walked into our house and made an offer are the ones who are buying the house…largely attributable to your assistance!"
−− Dana Lloyd, Beaverton OR

"Maureen provided a list of suggested cosmetic improvements for the house which were relatively quick, easy, and inexpensive. After we completed those improvements (which made a huge difference on their own) she came back and did the staging. I was amazed at how transformed it was! This house looked drab before and had been an abused rental, so we were all very sick of dealing with it. My 7-year-old stepson would complain non-stop every time we had to go over there. As soon as he saw it staged he said, "I don't want to leave" and "I think we should just move in here." What a change! A friend who'd said that she didn't think staging would make much difference in getting the house sold saw the amazing photos (which Maureen provided as part of her home staging service) and said "That CAN'T be the same house! It's as good as sold!" Another family member who'd helped get the place fixed up said after seeing the photos, "Wow! Is that really the same house!?" So it's unanimous! The house looks better than any of us ever could have imagined. And it's not just that the stuff in it is nice. She really brought out the best in the house. I had no idea it could look so great!"
−− Cami Idzerda, Hillsboro OR

"You were fantastic - thank you! I'm sure we will do more business in the future."
−− Stephen FitzMaurice ~ Realtor, USMetro Realty, Portland

"I must say we have been looking at homes since the spring of this year and you are the most professional designer that we have come across. The home is beautifully done and you have exquisite taste."
−− Susan Ruff, Portland OR

"The condo had been on the market for over a year. The best feature of this condo was the view of Mt. Hood, but there was a big empty living space with stark white walls. Maureen first helped with home staging advice for neutral wall paint, a few light fixtures, followed by staging of some key rooms. The difference was phenomenal! We put this condo on the market at a less optimum time of year and had an accepted offer in about a month! I truly believe that Maureen's advice and home staging helped close the sale on this property. She was wonderful to work with; she knew exactly which features to emphasize and she also understood the demographic of the potential buyer and she staged accordingly."
−− Rhonda Bakke, Broker, John Ludlow Realty, Inc., Wilsonville OR

"Thanks, Maureen, for all your expert advice and creative design. It really made all the difference in being able to sell my parents' home so quickly!"
−− Marian McAndie, Portland OR

"Your staging is the nicest I've ever seen, very professional … and thanks for your wonderful photos!"
−− Leon Simms Broker, Windermere/Bridgeport Realty Group, Lake Oswego OR

"You did an amazing job. The spaces flow brilliantly and your arrangements of color, contrast, and objects work in unison to amplify the finest qualities of the house. Your staging work is pure artistry, and my money was very well spent. We received an offer in just 3 days!"
−− Jerome Unterreiner, Portland OR

"I highly recommend your services – you have done an amazing job staging my listings! With your help I was able to get a listing that had previously been on the market for over two years sold in just 6 weeks! Thanks again!"
−− Jeanie Osborne CRS ~ Broker, John L. Scott Real Estate, West Linn OR

"Our Realtor believes that the staging was significant in the showings and quick sale of the condo."
−− Jean Salvador, Portland OR

"Thank you for using so many natural elements in your staging of this LEED Platinum home."
−− Paul Scardina IIDA ~ Designer/Owner, Paolo Design Group, Portland OR

"The home you staged for my client sold in only 3 weeks, even though other homes with the same floor plan in this neighborhood remain unsold. In today's market that's an excellent outcome and great return on my client's investment in staging."
−− Lee-Pin Chu, Broker ~ Robert Deigert Real Estate, Portland OR

"I am most impressed. You've made me a believer in home staging…you are a terrific stager."
−− Dede DeJager ~ Broker, Windermere/Cronin & Caplan Realty Group, Portland OR

"You and your amazing team did it again! My client's condo sat vacant on the market for 15 months. Each month there was cash out for the mortgage, HOA dues, taxes, utilities & insurance. Then you staged it and we had a sale in less than a month. Your "MAGIC" worked – my clients and I feel you were instrumental in this sale and we thank you very much!"
−− Shar Bailey, Portland OR

"I do believe the staging helped get this town home sold in just 6 weeks. I will definitely be using your services in the future."
−− Gabby Tyer, GRI, CRS ~ Principal Broker, Realty Solutions LLC, Portland OR

"Thank you for making my home look more appealing to potential buyers; it sold in just 10 days!"
−− Ken Stevenson, Portland OR

"Thanks Maureen - you have been so wonderful for my clients and I really appreciate your hard work."
−− Jan Cullivan, GRI, ABR, CRS ~ Broker, Re/Max Equity Group, Portland OR

−− Marc Hoffman, Philadelphia PA (formerly of Portland OR)

"I love your staging – it looks gorgeous and so do your photos! Thanks for your hard work. I will refer you to everyone!"
−− Wendy Snyder Broker, Portland Creative Realtors, Portland OR

−− Jack Keith, Tualatin OR

"You helped me re-design our new home with existing furniture from our previous home - excellent, very professional and easy to work with. You could see & arrange things that I could never have come up with myself. You used the time wisely and I highly recommend you as very talented & skilled."
−− Karen Fruehauf, Beaverton OR

"Once again you did a wonderful job staging! After this home had been on the market for almost a year it sold soon after staging. I have very happy clients."
−− Cari Crossley ~ Broker, Coldwell Banker Barbara Sue Seal Properties, Beaverton OR

"Our house is three stories and the Room Solutions crew staged every room, in some cases quite dramatically. Maureen was so helpful and responsive and was able to ensure a great experience. I walked into my house after their work and was blown away. They made the house more open and appealing."
−− Sheri Fitts, Portland OR

"I have been using Room Solutions Staging for several years. Maureen has always been extremely professional, polite and she is exceptionally talented. She has a beautiful inventory of furniture and accessories; it's always a pleasure to work with her and see the magic that happens when she stages a home. One of my recent clients did everything on her list of suggestions. The home was vacant and Maureen then staged the important rooms of the home and it was gorgeous! Needless to say, I got an offer on the home within the first 12 hours that it went on the market! That was a record, especially in this real estate market of 2011. Maureen has excellent follow-up skills and takes pride in her work. She is fun to work with and she has also worked with several other Realtors in my office, and they all rave about her! Staging works, and Maureen's magic will transform your home whether it is on the market or you just want a fresh look!"
−− Deborah Jackson, Broker, GRI, Re/Max Equity Group, Beaverton OR

"Our home looks stunning. Thank you for all of your contributions; this has been a great experience for us! I recommend this process for anyone who wants to simplify their environment - selling their home or not."
−− Melissa Sackett, Tigard OR

"Thanks for a staging job well done…the property now shows beautifully and in its best possible light."
−− Harold Schockelt ~ Principal Broker, Centerwood Realty, Tigard OR

"I would never have thought to (stage) things this way. I'm just blown away by it. Thanks for trying to juggle your schedule around for me. I am continually impressed with your level of service."
−− Roy Jacobson, Portland OR
Room Solutions client, in a KATU-Ch 2 TV News feature on home staging

−− Angela Varney, Portland OR

"Congratulations, you made it happen! My listing had been on the market for a year. Although there were multiple open houses and showings, no offers came through. Once you staged it however, in less than 2 weeks we had a sale! You know your stuff. Thank you from both my client and myself."
−− Bob Hoyt, GRI ~ Broker/Owner, Hoyt Realty, Portland OR

"Thank you so very much for the beautiful staging of my condo. It had warmth, livability, humor, and just the right touch of elegance. I don't think the property would have sold so quickly without it!"
−− Karen Brandenburger, Portland OR

"Your staging of my vacant listing was very effective! After 5 months on the market and no offers, after your staging we had a sale in 3 weeks. The creative solutions you came up with allowed potential buyers to imagine living there. You provided high quality service and I appreciated your willingness to keep the budget in mind. Thanks for making this house more marketable."

"You quickly assessed what my home needed and brought in tasteful accessories as well as rearranged my own items. The furnishings and colors you used were very inviting – and my home is sold! You and your staging crew were professional and efficient throughout the process."

"Your home staging advice is top notch. With your eye for design and knowledge of color you make the most basic home look outstanding. You have a talent for knowing how to help a seller get Top Dollar for their home in the shortest amount of time. A staged home definitely puts more money in the seller's pocket. I enthusiastically recommend your service."

"Thank you for staging my home – it looked so beautiful. It certainly takes a unique set of eyes to stage a home to sell it. With today's market being so competitive I don't think my home would have sold so quickly without your staging help."
