Staged house SELLS in ONE DAY for over list price!

Staging a house for sale once again disproves the demise of our real estate market!  A house I recently Staged received an over-asking price offer within 24 hours of completing the Staging - and there were other offers that came in as well!

The Sellers are thrilled and so is the Realtor - who was prepared to have the house on the market for up to 60 days - based on current stats.  Instead, he invested in the Staging - made sure the house looked its best BEFORE putting it on the market, and priced it with the highest price per square foot in the area - so did not "give the house away" - and they got an offer right away!

The sellers had about a week's worth of work on their list - provided to them by my detailed Staging Plan, and then we came in and finished off the Staging with final placement of furniture, decor and added pizzazz and "wow" factor with color and accessories. The overall investment for the Staging was under $500.00 and the Return on Staging Investment was HUGE!  The sellers got a sale they wanted, and the neighborhood is abuzz with excitement!  We even saved them money on storage and boxes with our vendor partners!

Our ASP Staging works - We Stage Sacramento is the Regional Staging expert for the entire Sacramento region!

Here is a testimonial from our client:

Hi Jennie,   We just wanted to thank you for the beautiful home we came home to tonight, thanks to your staging!  Every room we went into there was something new....it was like Christmas morning.  My husband, said, "this is the most beautiful home I have ever seen"!!  The kids couldn't wait to get to the next room to see what it looked like!  Our home is very impressive now and we are really impressed with We Stage Sacramento!!  Thank you, again for helping us get our home looking so good!! 

  The living room was used as a game arcade - and featured the football memorabilia of the seller who was a college player . . . it all had to go!

 We turned this room back into a formal living and dining room - using their furniture and our accessories to add color and appeal.

 This was the guest room - which was a "catch all" for the sellers.  They were told to remove the yellow desk and clutter - and get different bedding. 

  We actually flipped over the bedding the seller bought to make it more appealing, added our shams and folded bedding at the base for some contrast, added the artwork and - room was transformed!

Staging ABSOLUTELY works, I just understand why everyone who is listing their home does not stage. Thankfully many are and those are the ones that are MOVING ON
