Simply Staged Inc - Rockford Area Home Staging Blog: March 2010

Simply Staged Inc. was hired to consult and stage this Rockford home.  It was a joy to work with the sellers who worked feverishly completing the "to do" list provided by Simply Staged in order to showcase the home to its potential.  The list involved painting, packing, minor repairs, and a few updates. 

Simply Staged declutterd, depersonalized, repositioned and edited out furniture to highlight the home.  At that point we brought in rental accessories to compliment the seller's furniture and belongings.

All the hard work paid off with multiple offers and a contract in less than 24 HOURS OVER Asking Price!!  Congratulations to the sellers and Toni Vander Heyden of Keller Williams Signature Realty!  Teamwork brought us success in under 24 Hours!

There is often a misconception that staging is only for high end homes.  I encourage you to view the before/after photos of this Rockford home and view how professional home staging has helped showcase this smaller home. 

At the initial consultation Simply Staged provided recommendations to the home sellers in order to prepare it for staging day.  The home has been well maintained and some updates have been made over the years.  Therefore, the updates to be made were minor, a few light fixtures, a little painting and furniture selection/placement was addressed.  The sellers decided to complete the jobs themselves in order to keep the budget down.  The last step was to bring in Simply Staged rental accessories to compliment the seller's existing belongings. 

A professional stager will guide you through the process of preparing your home for market.  They will recommend improvements that will have great impact, but be mindful of the budget.  Certainly, some homes may need more work then others, but that is where a professional home stager can assist you in making only the necessary changes to showcase your home and focus your dollars where they will have the most impact.

If you follow our blog you may remember seeing the "after" video show of this Rockford home.  Simply Staged is pleased to report that it went under contract in 10 DAYS! 

We all worked quickly as it was already on the market when Simply Staged Inc. was hired to stage the home.  In a matter of five days the initial consultation was completed, sellers' completed the "to do" list, and the home was staged with Simply Staged rental accessories. 

The sellers elected to do the work themselves and it was a joy to work with them as they tirelessly worked to get rooms painted, packed many personal items, some belongings moved to storage and cleaned all before staging day.  The home was ready just hours before the first showing and it paid off.

Another example of what we can achieve with teamwork on behalf of the sellers, stager and Realtor!  Congratulations to the seller and Mike Morely of Keller Willams.

Here are just a couple before/after photos.

This Belvidere home was staged and went under contract in 7 DAYS!  It was previously on the market for five months prior to being staged. 

Upon the recommendation of Simply Staged, the kitchen and master bedroom/bath were painted, minor updates made, and the home was depersonalized and decluttered.  Simply Staged then brought in rental accessories to compliment the sellers' furnishings. 

Teamwork on behalf of the sellers, Realtor, Marilyn Osterberg of Dickerson & Nieman and Belvidere home stager, Simply Staged Inc. created the desired result - SOLD!
