Home Staging Case Study: Almost Vacant E. 84th St.

Cindy Lee Bergersen — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 19:49:40 +0000

The owner and his family had moved out months ago, leaving a few chairs in the living room and some of the furniture in the bedrooms.

He thought that this would be enough to give prospective buyers a good idea of how the spaces could be used. Though the apartment was large, in great shape and located in prime real estate territory, only a few feeble offers were extended.

In reality, effective home staging is an art form. The idea is to create an image of a beautiful home in such a way that a prospective buyer can see themselves living there. The rudiments of good interior styling plus a flair for making a room attractive without a personal stamp are key. Like reading a great book, the viewer’s imagination paints a picture of themselves in the attractive surroundings that could be theirs.

An offer was made and accepted within three weeks of professional staging.

Home Staging Case Study: Occupied Staging E. 57th St.

Whether the object is to stage a residence to be most appealing to prospective buyers, or restyling your current home in the most attractive way, a good furniture arrangement is essential.

The apartment’s appearance was aided greatly by fresh paint in the Benjamin Moore classic white, Linen White. Painting an apartment yourself to enhance saleability will always be a lot less expensive than the first price reduction a prospective buyer will ask for to cover the costs of painting themselves.

By using what the own already had, and adding a few accessories, the apartment took on real “Welcome Home” appeal.

The owner was so pleased with the new look, that she was almost sad that her home sold as quickly as it did!
