Creative Vacant Home Staging

by Home Staging Success Stories

Creative vacant home staging is all about working within the home seller’s budget, time frame, and goals.

Not everyone is going to spend thousands of dollars staging a vacant home with rental furniture, art, and accessories.

And virtual staging is a thought, but at the end of the day, no matter how good the home looks online, buyers are still walking into undefined and empty rooms.

Vacant homes are much more difficult to sell, so it’s important to keep furniture in a home while it’s on the market. But how do you do that on a shoestring budget?

Home sellers John and Wendy of White Plains, NY, have already purchased a new home and want to sell their old home quickly and at minimal expense.

Together, we develop a cost-effective plan to stage this home quickly, using what they are able to keep in the home, some borrowed items from friends, and a few fresh purchases they will later use in their new home.

Wendy and John work hard to paint, repair, clean, and stage their home, even as they deal with a few delays due to the twists and turns that life inevitably throws our way.

Here’s what I write to ERA Insite Realty’s Topper Team after spending just a single day staging the home for sale with homeowner Wendy.

“Wendy and I started this morning transforming her home. It’s gratifying to see how our effort made this house look and feel so welcoming without renting a thing.

We purchased new bedding, two lamps, some throw pillows, and a few faux plants, combined them with the items already in the home and voila! Can’t wait for you to see the final product.”

This 4-bedroom, 3-bath, 2,000-square-foot Colonial home in White Plains, NY, sells for 655k, just 2% below the 669k list price.

Wendy and I have such fun shopping for and staging this home that she invites me to consult on her new home, a project that includes picking out a new dining set.

Here’s what Wendy has to say about working with AtWell Staged Home.

“Susan, you did an amazing job transforming our messy house with its existing mismatched furniture into a cozy and chic home. You have great taste and a true talent for home decoration.

It was such a great pleasure working with you to stage our home! I enjoyed the time spent with you very much, and I have learned a lot about decorating from you.

I am waiting for our Realtors’ reactions when they see the home. I know they will be WOWed!

We will need your consultation for our new house. I will talk to you soon.

Thanks again for your super awesome work!”

Finally, here’s what The Topper Team’s Dana Topper writes after seeing the before-and-after photos side-by-side.

WOW what a transformation! I had forgotten what it looked like prior to staging. The before-and-after pictures are dramatic. I showed the home to clients today and their constant comment was how great the house looked! Kudos to you! It was a clear reflection on you and the staging done. It was great to work with you. Staging has proven to be such an important part of the selling process, and we hope to do a lot more business with you in the future.”
