Home Staging To Sell A Los Angeles Area Home

January 23, 2013

Home staging to sell this Los Angeles area home was no small job. We removed the existing pink curtains and created new valances, which took all day for 2 of my assistants. My 3rd assistant and I spent the day rearranging furniture and adding accessories and new bedding, etc. We started at 9:00am and didn’t finish until 7:00pm. Once done it was a beautiful transformation. This house is now ready to wow its buyer. I wish we could show you all of the photos, but space is limited. Below are the BEFORE and AFTER photos of this staging.

Home Staging San Gabriel – 8 Seconds To Sell A Home!

August 17, 2012

One of the biggest challenges we face when selling a home in San Gabriel or anyplace in the San Gabriel Valley is making the home appeal to its target market. When a buyer walks through the door of the home for sale, it takes them only 8 seconds to determine whether or not they would want to live in this home. With this in mind, the seller must do all that it takes to make the most of the features of their property. As a Realtor and professional home stager knowing what makes a home sell, this issue is solved first by evaluating the home, then providing a plan for home staging. The sellers are on board and we all get to work to achieve the desired results. The following photos are BEFORE and AFTER of this San Gabriel home for sale.

Home Staging Los Angeles: Newly Remodeled Los Angeles Home

January 16, 2012

We had the pleasure of staging this vacant newly remodeled Los Angeles house into a home that buyers will love. The seller, a smart investor, wanted to show buyers how they can place their furnishings in a relatively small area. When vacant, the Living/Family Room, which is open to the kitchen and dining areas, did not appear large enough for the furniture. We show buyers how to make these rooms work.

Below are the BEFORE and AFTER photos:

It is critical to show your buyer how they can live in a home. Leaving them guessing for how they can place their furniture will only motivate them to move on to the next house for sale. These sellers know the importance of answering those questions for the buyer through home staging.

This newly remodeled Arcadia, CA home received some staging expertise by Michelle Drewry, Owner and Principal Designer of Staging The Essentials. It was lots of work, but we also had fun turning this vacant house into a buyer’s dream home. As experts in home staging, it helps to know the area and to be familiar with the buyer most likely to purchase a home in that area. This is who you are staging for – the buyer.

Below we show the difference that home staging makes. Now a buyer has a reason to come to see this home.
