Recently we were hired to breathe new life into a listing that had been on the market previously and one of the things we felt strongly about was an overhaul on the staging. According to the Real Estate Staging Association*, professionally staged properties spend 73 percent less time on the market, sell for more money and have fewer concessions requested of the seller. Plus, they just look and feel better when buyers walk in to view the home! So we brought in one of our  amazing staging teams for a consultation and once a plan was in place, had them move forward with a new look – opting for a neutral, more contemporary feel which helped maximize the space and create a much brighter and inviting environment. If you’ve been looking for proof of why hiring a good stager is so important, just look through the before and after photos below.
