Hawthorne Inherited Home Staging

by Home Staging Success Stories

Hawthorne inherited home staging leads to 31 offers within days of listing and a final sale price of more than $60k over asking.

Go big or go home is not always the best advice when it comes to staging owner-occupied and inherited homes. Achieving outstanding results requires some finesse.

In staging these homes, as in many areas of life, it’s often a series of minor changes that adds up to major results.

We call this approach Stage to Profit®.

It’s a staging process that is perfect for homes of all sizes and price ranges. There are no extravagant alterations or expensive makeovers required. We use what you already have so that you can list and sell quickly.

Stage to Profit® is the fastest path to “Sold” for owner-occupied and inherited homes, and this is just one more example of how we do that.

Two brothers inherit their childhood home after the passing of their parents. One brother lives an hour away, the other several states away.

Since few have experience selling a home—let alone with the complexities of preparing and selling an inherited home—their listing agent refers them to AtWell Staged Home because he trusts us to provide the support these brothers need.

The result of our initial consultation is the creation of a plan to handle all aspects of preparing, organizing, staging and, after the home sells, the final clearing out of this home.

Brothers Carmine and Bob take the lead on all nonstaging-related tasks such as the difficult task of sorting through personal items, as well as contracting with the painters, cleaners, gardeners, and handling the bulk removal of unwanted items.

AtWell Stage Home focuses on paint color selection, defining spaces, staging with just what is in the home, and making a few minor purchases that will allow us to show off this home to its best advantage.

For just $200, we purchase an area rug and four throw pillows for the living room, as well as towels and a new shower curtain for the bath. All other bedding, art, accessories, lighting, and furniture used are found in the home.

A well-maintained home is returned to its former glory with a lot of sweat equity, all at minimal expense. The largest investment is painting the main level’s interior and the basement floor.

Built in 1953, this 1,400-square-foot, 3-bedroom, 2-bath, inherited ranch-style home in Hawthorne, NY, sells quickly, with a total of 31 offers, leading to a final sale price of $561,000, or 12.2 percent over the asking price of $499,900.

Here’s what brothers Bob and Carmine have to say about the experience after staging is complete and prior to listing.

Thank you so much for all your fine work preparing our parents’ home for sale. I think the house looks FANTASTIC, and I expect it will sell very quickly. We really appreciate everything you did, as well as your generosity. It was a pleasure working with you. Thanks again. Let the bidding war begin smile.

Bob R.

I want to tell you how much I’ve enjoyed working with you, and I’m sure your efforts in these last few months have brought us to the finish line in fine fashion!

I look forward to seeing the professional listing pictures and hope that things will move quickly.

You and my brother make a great team, and I’m excited to see the outcome of all your hard work. Thanks for all your generosity, experience, caring, and time.

Carmine R.
