Staging Helps Affordable Housing Development Shine

Our Portland home staging company gets contacted by many different types of potential clients.  Recently a Community Land Trust called to see if we would be interested in donating our home staging services for a new affordable housing development in our neighborhood that was targeted to families of moderate means.  We haven’t provided a complimentary full staging in the past, but this idea sounded interesting, so we met with the Executive Director at the property.

We were happy to discover the wonderful vision of the Clackamas Community Land Trust which was to provide permanently affordable homeownership opportunities, to assist and educate people of low and modest income to become homeowners and to expand the inventory of permanently affordable, environmentally responsible homes.

This was an idea that we could get behind and wanted to support.  We’d been looking for ways to give back to our community through our company and this seemed like the right fit.  That it was in our neighborhood made it all the more appealing.  And they are going to be LEED Platinum certified homes which is amazing considering that the homes are in the range of $115k to $135k.

We staged one model home for the 12 house development.  It was considered the most challenging due to it’s floor plan.  It is a one level home with 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom.  The small living room and open kitchen made  it very challenging for potential buyers to imagine how to set up the space without professional staging.

Here are some before and after photos.  The first two are taken from the front door looking left and right.

Because of the price point of the house, and the target buyers, we used furnishings and decor that were affordable and easy to purchase so people can see that they can live this way if they choose to.  Just because a home has a low sales price doesn’t mean that it can’t look beautiful.

Staged Portland Condo in the Heart of the City

Condo units are generally more challenging to stage than houses because of the logistics of elevators, restricted hours, loading zones, and long hallways.  Our Portland home staging company has staged several units in the Eliot Tower and the experience at this building has been very positive for us and our clients.

Most recently we staged a condo unit on the 2nd floor which has a great feeling as it is just above street level and you feel like you are right in the city.  This unit had previously been used as an office, and now that the owners wanted to sell it, staging it as a home was key.

We used a mix of furnishings and decor that would cater to the target buyer looking for upscale living in a downtown Portland high end building.  Now it's just waiting for the perfect buyer!

Here are some before and after pictures.

Staging a Model Home in Milwaukie Oregon

The summer has been flying by and we've been busier than ever.  It's time to get back to our home staging blog and catch up.

Our Portland home staging company recently staged a beautiful model home in Milwaukie, Oregon.  This is a bank owned property and they understand the value that home staging brings to a vacant home, especially one that serves as a model for the development.

The challenge in this home was the very large entry and dining area.  As you can see there is wood flooring and then carpet in the living room area.  When it was vacant potential buyers felt that the living room was too small and they were overwhelmed by the large open space.

Once the property was staged, the living room felt spacious and the other areas were inviting and had a clear purpose.  One buyer who saw the home before it was staged commented that they had removed it from their list.  They thought they would look at it one more time now that it was staged and they are considering an offer.  Same buyers, same home, new positive outlook based on the results of professional home staging.
