DotStaged and Up For Sale! 1508 Ridgehaven, Austin TX

I just finished staging a home in northeast Austin and wanted to share the before and after photos.  I worked with realtor Donna Scoggins with Remax and the homeowners to pull together what is now a darling and inviting home!  The previous home was a bachelor pad that was in desperate need of a decorative touch! 

Be sure to look for the detailed work pictured below!  Austin Simple Staging goes the extra mile ro ensure that every little detail is just perfect!

 

Before & After Photos

         

This room went from drab to down right gorgeous!  This home was lacking decor, sophistication and flare!  By renting furniture and accessories with Austin Simple Staging buyers will now desire this home and this space!  The family room is where the majority of families spend their time.  If you are going to make an investment in home staging, be sure to spend your money wisely!

         

Pool table out and hello stunning dining room!  When preparing your home to sell, it is important to show buyers what specific rooms are for.  In this case the formal dining room housed a pool table which made it difficult for buyers to understand the room’s purpose.  After renting the appropriate furniture, buyers will now have no question that this room has potential!

         

We added a small seating area over to the left to show potential buyers that not only is this the dining room but you can also place a few comfortable chairs for a small yet formal living space!  When staging a home, there is absolutely no reason you must show buyers every single option for furniture placement but we must give them a clue into what this home could be! 

         

This before and after gives you a good idea how much furniture you can fit in this space.  This is the first room you see upon entering the home and the pool table wasn’t winning over buyers!  After staging this room is ready to WOW buyers!

         

 If you have a simple kitchen nook table that is lacking character, place a tall and sophisticated plant in the center.  It is amazing what a simple arrangment can do for a space.  When staging a home it is incredibly important for each room to have a single focal point.  In this case, it is the center of the table.  By adding a simple peice of artwork to the room, we suddenly have a more dramatic and lively space. 

         

 If you have built in units like the one above, showcase them!  You don’t need many accessories at all!  2-3 items/shelf should do the job.  You can tell that if you accessorize too much the photo can become extremely cluttered.

         

This home had a darling office that is just perfect for someone who works from home or is need of an office space.  We rented a simple writing desk and fun red chair.  Now when buyers tour the home there will be no question what this room could potentially be!  Contact Austin Simple Staging for help with staging your upcoming listing!  Home Staging in Austin can help you be the best prepped home on the block!

         

One of the most inexpensive ways to stage a home is to focus on the bathrooms and give them life.  This bathroom was recently remodeled and was in need of some decor.  By placing a dramatic centerpeice on the sink it suddenly gives it the WOW factor.  Bathrooms are extremely important to buyers and they must be showcased to their greatest potential. 

         

    This is the master bathroom in this home and due to the the clutter and distraction buyers couldn’t envision themselves purchasing this home.  Buying a home is one of the most emotional purchases one can make.  We must make sure the home draws out buyer’s emotion…this gives them the opportunity to fall in love!

DotBeautiful Home with Tons of Potential!

14505 Broken Bow Trail is staged and looking beautiful!  This home sits on top of a hill with an immaculate view!  I worked with the homeowners and Realtor Tyler O’Brien.  We majorly decluttered this home!  It was heavenly for their young daughter but when it came time to sell the home, it required decluttering and purging “kid stuff” and containing the toys to her room!  After a ton of work and preparation the homeowners have the home looking great!

DotDecluttering & Neutralizing a Home!

I worked with realtor Ashley Stucki to prepare 4308 Campo Verde!  This house is a great two story home ready for it’s next family!  We neutralized a few walls, removed window treatments to brighten the house and accessorized it in order to draw in potential buyers!  After a two hour consultation and a ton of work by the family, the house looks wonderful! 

Another house staged and up for sale!

DotDoes Vacant Staging Really Work?

The following are five reasons to show why, especially in today’s market, it’s more important than ever before to stage a vacant home:

* Homes that show well are the ones that are warm, inviting, and make an emotional connection with the buyer. Vacant homes rarely accomplish this goal.

* Without furniture, there is no frame of reference, making it difficult for buyers to tell the scale and size of the room. Will the master bedroom fit a king size bed? How about the great room – it looks too small for a sectional. When buyers have to start questioning . . . they normally walk away.

* When homes are vacant, every flaw is exposed. Normal wear and tear, a chipped tile or small crack will be magnified. This will cause buyers to focus on the negatives . . . rather than the positives. A professional stager knows how to redirect a buyers focus, emphasizing the positive features of the home while visually diminishing, but not hiding the negatives.

* Only 10% of buyers can visualize, so when they walk into your home, 90% won’t actually be able to visualize the home’s potential.

* A vacant home will send a message to buyers that the seller is desperate to sell. Right or wrong, knowing the seller has already relocated gives the buyer a distinct advantage when negotiating, often submitting a lower offer.

The fundamental thing to consider when deciding whether to furnish a vacant home is price. And statistics have shown that the ‘price’ of leaving a home vacant can be a lower selling price and a longer time on the market. You must ask yourself if this is a price you can afford to pay?
