CSD HOME STAGING-K.Hubert: Big Staging Success!!!!

Big Staging Success!!!!

Hello AR friends,

I completed a staging project for clients I would describe as perfect clients.  Everything I suggested was accepted with enthusiasm.  They were so quick at completing their plan that we got started staging 2 weeks earlier than scheduled.

After completing the staging, photos for the internet were completed and a plan to list the property the next day.  Before posting on the internet and before a sign went on the front lawn, 2 prospective buyers viewed the property.  These buyers got into a bidding war and the property SOLD in one day and for $15,000 over the list price.  A Huge success for myself and my clients and their agent!!!!!!

Here a few photos of the project.

                                    

Dining Room before                                                                                      Dining Room after(Although the light was still hung a little

                                                                                                               too high, I think the clients did a great job replacing the 

                                                                                                               other light fixture)

Thanks for all the great comments.  Yes Christopher, my photography really needs some work.  My last project, my before pictures were so bad in my opinion, that I had someone else do the after pictures.  They were great.  I believe I am in need of a new camera.  That might help.

The home looks great.I have been thinking about stageing homes.I think it is a good thing to offer sellers.Especially on new construction and vacant homes.

Great job!!! I would also recommend for you to get a wide-angle camera, because this way you can get more out of a photo ;)

Cheers,

Good Luck and all the best!!

Hi Karen,
