The owner of this home contacted Synergy Staging to warm up the vacant rooms and make it feel more cozy. This is a what you see is what you get property, meaning that we had to work with the spaces as is, including the wall paper. Even though we encourage our clients to make their properties as move-in ready as possible, sometimes it's just not possible for them to make any updates.

Here are some before and afters of the home:

This is the view from the front door. The room was wired for surround sound, so staging with a flat screen was important to the client.

This is a nook next to the kitchen with a fireplace. While you could show this as a breakfast nook, there is a dining room on the other side of the kitchen, so we opted to make this a cozy area where you could drink coffee or tea by the fire.

The upstairs had this funky open space, two bedrooms, and a bathroom. We staged the area as a master suite showing this space as an office.

The Master Bedroom felt much larger once it was furnished and staged.

Synergy Staging recently staged this beautiful newly constructed 4 bedroom home in Tigard, Oregon. The property is on a street filled with new houses and the Realtors knew that staging the property would help it stand out from the numerous others in the neighborhood.

One thing we discovered while staging the home was that the living room light in the ceiling fan didn't work. The room was quite dark and without that light it felt gloomy. We make it habit to keep a large supply of light bulbs in our staging supplies. Not just standard bulbs, but many shapes, sizes, and wattages. This particular light took small 40 watt candelabra lightbulbs which we had on hand. Wouldn't you know - it was one of the first things that the Realtor noticed when he saw the staging and he was very appreciative that the light was now working. It's sometimes the simplest things that go the longest way in lasting impressions.

As I've blogged about before, home staging isn't only for properties that are being sold. Staging works for all types of properties. We've had a 2 bedroom model unit staged at a large apartment complex marketed to the 55+ demographic. All the units have been rented and we were asked to move our staging to a 3 bedroom unit. They had been unsuccessful in renting this newly remodeled vacant unit for 7 months.

Last Saturday we moved our staging out of the 2 bedroom model and did a new staging design for the 3 bedroom unit. We used most of the furnishings that were in the 2 bedroom model, and enhanced the design with some additional pieces. The unit rented on Sunday. That is only one day after staging! And the apartment had been vacant for 7 months without an offer.

Don't be fooled by thinking that staging is a luxury expense only for homes in a certain price range that are for sale. Staging is a sound investment that can help potential renters see how they can live in a unit, just like potential buyers looking at a home purchase. Staging lets potential renters envision a lifestyle that they can have. Staging is not just for sellers anymore!

Here are a few of the Before and After photos:

Spacious Living Room with a great view. Potential renters weren't sure how to configure this large space.

The oversized Dining Room is the first thing you see when you walk in the apartment. It is so overwhelming - it almost looked like the ballroom! We used a large rug to cover some of the tile and a substantial dining room table with 6 chairs to make it feel more inviting.

The kitchen was beautifully remodeled and just needed some special touches.

Once a sophisticated bed was brought into the Master Bedroom it felt like the retreat someone would want to come home to.

The Master Bathroom was small and dark, but with some nice accessories and art, it felt much warmer.

We stage all types of properties - single family homes, condos, townhouses, apartments, and multi-million dollar listings. Staging is an important factor for any listing. Buyers are looking for move-in ready homes priced well. Staging helps buyers see how they can live in a home and helps them emotionally connect to the property. These are the homes that are consistently selling the quickest.

Synergy Staging just staged a one bedroom condo listed for under $100,000.00. This is probably the lowest priced unit that we have staged, but what a difference it made. The investor understands the impact of staging, and also completely updated the unit with new countertops, cabinets, appliances, carpeting, etc. It really shines! We are hoping for a quick sale on this one.

Here are a few Before and After photos:

Synergy Staging was recently contacted by another investor who had just purchased a home at auction. This was a small single family home in a nice neighborhood, however, there were several other homes on the same street for sale with the exact same floorplan. The investor believed staging would set her house apart from the others. We agreed, and it turns out she was right!

We staged the home and also replaced all the knobs on every cabinet and drawer throughout the unit to update the look from the original hardware.

The home had multiple full price offers only two hours after being listed with a few additional backup offers. Even in the current real estate market, there is nothing that can compare to staging a home and appropriately pricing it that will result in a faster sale.

Here are a few Before and After photos.
