Wonderful West End Townhouse-Renovated To Absolute Perfection

Here are pictures of my latest vacant staging project. The owner/agent totally renovated this unit and decided to go all the way and stage it for a sale!!

I think it ended up looking incredibly sunny and gorgeous and you can't help but feel that way when you step inside. Will hit MLS in a couple of days. If you have a client in search of the perfect West End townhouse located in the best Henrico County school district this one is an absolute gem to show and is priced for a quick sale-better HURRY!!

UPDATE-11520 LONGVIEW LANDING DR-BUILDER HOME-SOLD TWO SHORT WEEKS AFTER STAGING!

I am absolutely THRILLED to report that after lingering on the market for TWO YEARS in it's vacant state that this gorgeous builder spec home is now SOLD only TWO SHORT WEEKS after staging!! I am told that the buyer is someone who had looked at the house at some point over the last few months while it was vacant, but could not visualize how their furniture would look. The staging made it clear to them that this is the place they want to call HOME!! I am thrilled that this builder can now move on with his business and everything is owed to the savvy real estate agent that encouraged him to get a bid on staging this fabulous property. Cheers to the testiment that staging truly works and delivers positive results!!

Would You Stage Your House For Sale In The Richmond VA Real Estate Market If You Knew It Would Not Cost You Anything And You Would Sell Faster?

I am asked this question many times-does the investment into staging really pay off? The most definite answer is YES your investment into home staging will save you money and make you more money at closing. Let me give you an example of how investing dollars into staging on the front end will bring you more money at closing.

First scenario. You consult with a real estate expert and confirm based on your market analysis that you should list your house for $375,000. After 3 stressful months and no bites the price is lowered to $360,000. Two more stressful months go by and the price is lowered to $349,000. A month later after SIX MONTHS of being on the market you finally get an offer for $343,000.

Next scenario. You hire a stager to stage your home BEFORE it goes on the market. The recommended improvements and investment for staging costs $2,500.00 You list your home for $375,000. After 9 weeks you get an offer for $364,000. If you subtract out the $2,500 you invested on staging, you will be paid $18,500 more at closing-not to mention the extra money saved on mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, utilities and maintenance because of less time on the market!!

Studies show that staged homes sell in HALF the time of homes that have not been staged. They also sell for more money. This is because when you stage your house, it attracts more traffic because it shows better. More traffic increases your chances for offers. The less time your home sits on the market, the higher the sales price. The 2007 Home Gains Report shows that professionally staging your home yields a 343% return on investment.

Is there money to be saved by trying to stage your house yourself? It is hard for homeowners to be objective about their own homes. When you have your home 'staged' by a certified Home Staging professional it involves more than just removing clutter, decorating and cleaning. Home Staging creates a mood that appeals to all five senses. It makes your house look more spacious, brighter, cleaner, warmer and most importantly sparks the emotions that drive potential buyers to write offers. Staging takes the personal element out of your home and neutralizes it so that potential buyers can envision themselves living there. Just as Mortgage Lenders are experts in their field and Realtors are experts in their field, Home Stagers are experts in theirs.
