Synergy Staging - Portland Home Staging Blog

Our Portland Home Staging Company works with many investors who are buying and renovating homes. Many times we are able to consult with our clients prior to staging their homes for color, finishes, and other recommendations. While we always have our wish list, sometimes the reality is that budgets limit what can be done to a house prior to listing.

Here is a great example of a home that Synergy Staging recently staged in Happy Valley, Oregon. It is a beautiful property that had some challenges that would have posed major issues if the house hadn't been staged.

As you will see below, the wall color in the master bedroom is what we like to call Barbie Peach, and is not appealing. The master bathroom tiles were very specific and overwhelmed the space, but there wasn't room in the budget to address them.

This is when professional home staging helps a buyer see the potential of a house and overlook what might be an instant 'no' if it was vacant. This house was staged and then listed on a Friday, shown on Saturday, and 3 offers were received on Sunday. That is the type of result our clients love to see!

Here are some before and after photos:

The fleshy color of the walls made the room feel drab and unappealing. Staging the room helped bring some life and warmth to the space.

Here's the black and rust tile in the master bath that we had to work with, not to mention the brass shower stall.

What seemed like a space completely out of character with the rest of home was toned down, and staging the rest of the house made this bathroom more acceptable, as evidenced by the 3 offers that came in the first weekend on the market.

Our Portland Home Staging Company recently staged a beautiful home in Happy Valley, Oregon for one of our investor clients. The home had some design issues which needed to be addressed, and our client understood that staging was the answer to help buyers see the potential of the home.

Although this property is 4,000 square feet, some of the living spaces were small. There are also very large custom drapes in the living room that felt out of place without some connection to the rest of the home. By showing this house vacant, potential buyers would have had many reasons to say 'no' and move on to the next one.

Here are some before and after photos of how we addressed the design issues:

      
We used two elegant wing back chairs that tied in the gold of the window treatments and the height of the room.

This kitchen has a huge island with two eating areas. It was important to define them with different types of stools to help buyers see these as separate spaces.

The master bedroom in this home is large, but the only wall without windows is too small to accommodate a Queen bed and two bedside tables. We used window treatments to create a wall to anchor the bed and two bedside tables.  This made the room feel more elegant and dramatic and also connected it with the spacious living room and huge custom drapes.

As professional home stagers we love many parts of our job.  Transforming a house from vacant to unforgettable.  The challenge of surpassing the expectations of our clients.  And of course, seeing the Sold sign go up on the house.

In December one of our investor clients had us stage this fantastic view home in Happy Valley, Oregon.  We've a had a great string of success with this client, but he had been listing his homes when they were vacant, and THEN had us stage them when they hadn't sold for a few months.  After staging they were consistently selling in less than one month.  In this case he opted to stage the home PRIOR to listing the house.  What a difference it made!  We staged the home on Tuesday, December 21 and it sold three days later on Friday, December 24.  What a great Christmas gift!

We have seen time and time again that staging a home BEFORE it goes on the market is simply the BEST approach to selling quickly. There is no substitute for a house that is presented at its absolute best and priced appropriately for the neighborhood.

Here are some before and after pictures of this Christmas Success Story:
