Happy Valley, OR

Our Portland Home Staging Company works with many investors who are buying and renovating homes. Many times we are able to consult with our clients prior to staging their homes for color, finishes, and other recommendations. While we always have our wish list, sometimes the reality is that budgets limit what can be done to a house prior to listing.

Here is a great example of a home that Synergy Staging recently staged in Happy Valley, Oregon. It is a beautiful property that had some challenges that would have posed major issues if the house hadn't been staged.

As you will see below, the wall color in the master bedroom is what we like to call Barbie Peach, and is not appealing. The master bathroom tiles were very specific and overwhelmed the space, but there wasn't room in the budget to address them.

This is when professional home staging helps a buyer see the potential of a house and overlook what might be an instant 'no' if it was vacant. This house was staged and then listed on a Friday, shown on Saturday, and 3 offers were received on Sunday. That is the type of result our clients love to see!

Here are some before and after photos:

The fleshy color of the walls made the room feel drab and unappealing. Staging the room helped bring some life and warmth to the space.

Here's the black and rust tile in the master bath that we had to work with, not to mention the brass shower stall.

What seemed like a space completely out of character with the rest of home was toned down, and staging the rest of the house made this bathroom more acceptable, as evidenced by the 3 offers that came in the first weekend on the market.

Staged on Monday ~ SOLD on Friday! Home Staging Success in Portland OR

As a home staging company based in Portland Oregon, we love helping our clients sell their homes faster! This week we staged a home in Happy Valley Oregon that had been on the market for two months; the listing agent told us that buyers weren't excited about the property, even though they'd had a good number of showings. She said that buyers often commented that they didn't like the backyard. As professional home stagers, we knew that by making the house itself look amazing, buyers wouldn't be as worried about the un-landscaped backyard.

Room Solutions Staging staged this home on Monday and provided new photos for the online listing; and by Friday the house was under contract! The listing agent told me that after our staging, potential buyers no longer even mentioned that backyard!

Here are some Before & After photos that illustrate how simple staging can help buyers see themselves living in the home ... it's no longer an empty, colorless shell when it's transformed by Portland home staging experts.

I love little neighborhood parks and Ashley Meadows Park in Happy Valley, Oregon (Clackamas County) is certainly one of those parks. Ashley Meadows Park is located just off 152^nd and Sunnyside Road in Happy Valley, Oregon and unless you lived in the neighborhood, you would never know it was there.

Well after showing a home in that neighborhood a few days prior, I knew that I needed to bring my kids back and write a review about it. Though small, it still had everything a park needed! It had all the playground equipment and benches for the parents… Just about perfect!

So, if you are looking for a home with some great neighborhoods that were thinking of families when they were built, then check out Happy Valley, it has a lot to offer, just as Ashley Meadows Park does.

Our Portland Home Staging Company recently staged a beautiful home in Happy Valley, Oregon for one of our investor clients. The home had some design issues which needed to be addressed, and our client understood that staging was the answer to help buyers see the potential of the home.

Although this property is 4,000 square feet, some of the living spaces were small. There are also very large custom drapes in the living room that felt out of place without some connection to the rest of the home. By showing this house vacant, potential buyers would have had many reasons to say 'no' and move on to the next one.

Here are some before and after photos of how we addressed the design issues:

We used two elegant wing back chairs that tied in the gold of the window treatments and the height of the room.

This kitchen has a huge island with two eating areas. It was important to define them with different types of stools to help buyers see these as separate spaces.

The master bedroom in this home is large, but the only wall without windows is too small to accommodate a Queen bed and two bedside tables. We used window treatments to create a wall to anchor the bed and two bedside tables. This made the room feel more elegant and dramatic and also connected it with the spacious living room and huge custom drapes.

Once again, I will be participating in SantaPaws at the Clackamas PetSmart to help support a no kill animal shelter in Oregon City, Oregon. I love no kill animal shelters, but with no kill shelters comes added expense. Some of those expenses are higher food and medical bills, because a lot of animals that are dropped off have serious medical issues that the owners could no longer handle.

So, how am I helping?  Just like last year, I was contacted by Santa and was requested to assist him and be one of his authorized Santas that can fill in for him when he is unavailable. So, I’m going be Santa at this year’s event yet again Saturday December 10, 2012 from 11am - 4pm. (Hope to see you there)

I loved it so much last year that I had to do it again this year and knowing that it helps such a great cause. But, sometimes these fundraisers aren’t enough and this is where I am going to ask for your help. If you are unable to attend this event and would like to help, then please donate online to the Oregon Ferret Shelter and I promise the ferrets will thank you!
