Yonkers Vacant Home Staging
Yonkers vacant home staging helps buyers see the best this home has to offer, leading to a sale within hours of listing.
Pat is first referred to AtWell Staged Home four years earlier, by her agent Ken Wile of Redfin, when she has to clear out, prepare, stage, and sell her late father-in-law’s condo in Irvington, NY.
Ever since that time, Pat has been talking to me about eventually selling her own home in Yonkers, NY. It takes longer than expected, but she finally finds the perfect house just a few towns north and decides to go forward with the sale.
Since Pat’s father-in-law’s home had 4 offers on the same day it listed and sold for $27k over asking, Pat has firsthand knowledge of the value of staging. So when she’s ready to sell her own home, she doesn’t hesitate to call me first.

The biggest hurdle for Pat’s Yonkers, NY, house is the long, steep walk and stairs leading to the front door. Since there is nothing we can do to change that, it becomes even more critical to highlight this home’s best features and its potential.
In view of the fact that Pat has already purchased a new home, she makes the decision to move the majority of her furnishings there, leaving behind only the items required for the most budget-friendly vacant staging possible.
We never want to show a home without furnishings, for many reasons, but for this house in particular, a lack of furnishings will make the home appear much smaller than it really is and may confuse potential buyers about the potential use of various spaces in the home.
All necessary repairs are made, and the interior of the home is thoroughly cleaned and painted. To show the home to its best advantage and for a maximum return on investment, it is staged with a combination of rental furniture and accessories, art, and lighting from both Pat’s house and AtWell Staged Home.
Because the two upstairs bedrooms are large, we opt to leave those vacant after painting and a deep clean.
Pat’s Realtor, Ken Wile of Redfin, believes that “bringing Susan in to stage is always a good idea and a great investment, given the results.” Ken knows that staging works, and he and his sellers “couldn’t be happier with the results” after his “go-to Home Stager” Susan “performs her magic” staging their homes.
This 4-bedroom, 3-bath, 1,780-square-foot Yonkers, NY, home sells within hours of listing with a total of 7 offers leading to a final sale at the asking price of $549k.
Here’s what second-time home staging and new decorating client Pat has to say about this fast sale and our work together:
“This is my second time consulting and employing Atwell Staged Home. I have also recently consulted with Susan on selecting paint colors, furniture placement, and new furniture purchases for my new home. Having Susan’s help in my new home has helped me to avoid making costly mistakes such as picking the wrong paint colors, the wrong size furniture, and keeping styles cohesive.
I love Susan….She’s honest, talented, hardworking and one of the smartest people I’ve ever met.
In staging my Yonkers home, she incorporated a lot of my own furniture. And in both homes Susan staged, I discovered that the buyers kept to her color palette and furniture placement…and that says a ton to me!!
My Yonkers home was on the market 5 days with 7 offers—4 full-price offers, 2 over asking, and one just a smidge under. The first day alone we had 2 offers. Susan’s staging is key to selling quickly and for the most money.
I once thought staging wasn’t necessary, BUT I have quickly learned it is KEY in selling. Susan succeeds in being cost effective, and her fees are quite reasonable. I’ve said this before about her, she’s Tinkerbell magical and worth her weight in gold. I look forward to working with her in the future!!!”
