Small Spaces Need Home Staging to Help Buyers See the Potential

Every house that we stage has its own unique character and feel that inspires our staging design.  Home staging can help a property look its best in many ways. 

This single family home in Portland that Synergy Staging recently staged was a fairly large house, but many of the rooms were quite small.  Had this house been left vacant, potential buyers would have been left guessing how to arrange their furniture.  Worse yet, some would just give up and not even consider the house as an option.

The picture below left is the view from the front door and the picture on the right is the reverse angle.  A very narrow living room / dining room combination.  Not only is the space small, but the fireplace and mantle are very color specific.

The same views after staging the home shows buyers how they can have the feel of two separate rooms in this small space.

No matter what style, condition, price range, or location your home is in - a professional home stager will help your home show in the best possible way and appeal to the broadest range of potential buyers.

We'll be posting more pictures of this property very soon, including another look at some of Nik's original artwork.

From Purple to Pleasing - Painting is worth the Investment

Last week Synergy Staging had the opportunity to stage this beautiful home in Lake Oswego.  When we visited the property to do our walk through it was clear that some of the colors had to be toned down.  Fortunately the owner understood that the colors would not appeal to everyone and was prepared to paint the interior of the home.

How one prefers to live in a home is almost always different from how one should sell their home.  We personally love bold and vibrant colors, but when selling your home, keeping a nice warm neutral is going to be appealing to the broadest range of potential buyers.

In the before picture you can see the living room had a mix of white and mint green.  Although the ceilings were very high, the room was small and broken up with a lot of different angles.  Painting one neutral color throughout the space made it feel larger and buyers were less distracted by the architecture.

And check out this purple dining room that needed a facelift.  By using the same neutral that was used in the living room, the entire space flowed together.  After staging, the dining room became a key selling feature in the home with it's inviting feel and beautiful views.

When selling your home, the investments you make in preparing your property will pay off.  Home staging, painting, minor cosmetic fixes, cleaning, etc. will typically result in a quicker sale for more money.  Listen to the professionals who are trying to help you! =)

We'll be posting more pictures of this gorgeous home shortly.

Portland Condo Sells in 3 Days and Staging Gets the Credit!

Synergy Staging recently staged a luxury condo in downtown Portland.  This unit was being sold by the owner and had been on the market prior to our staging the property.  This is a high end building in a very desirable area.  The Open Houses had been attracting many buyers, but no offers were being presented.  Although the condo had a few furnishings and rugs, it really needed to be staged to properly showcase the unit.

Here are a few before and after photos:

The Master Bedroom was small, but looked larger once it was staged with a queen size bed.

Prior to staging, buyers had a hard time imagining how to use the narrow second bedroom.
Once it was staged as an office and guest bedroom, the room made sense.

After the unit was staged, an offer was made and accepted just 3 days later!  Since it was an all cash offer our staging was only in the unit for a total of 12 days.  The sale closed 13 days after staging!  The owner credited home staging with the quick sale and positive response.

Even in the current market, homes that are priced appropriately and professionally staged are selling quicker than ever!
