Hybrid Home Staging in Heritage Hills
Hybrid home staging, merging small amounts of rental furniture with a home owner’s furnishings and accessories, creates a lived-in look for a vacated home.
Many people enjoy living in Heritage Hills so much that it’s not uncommon for residents to relocate within this 2,700-unit, 1,000-acre community. Sy is doing just that, staying in Heritage Hills but simply relocating to the “other” hill.
Sy’s current unit is spacious and bright and has a large bonus room for his office, but the new space is all on one level, and as anyone who lives in Heritage Hills knows, a lack of stairs is a highly prized selling feature.
Before choosing a Realtor, Sy seeks a home stager to give him a head start on the preparation of his home. Hearing about me through a mutual business acquaintance, we discuss his unique project by phone. At the end of our conversation, Sy chooses to move forward with a working consultation.

To minimize his staging investment and maximize his budget for painting, cleaning, and fix-ups, Sy agrees to leave some furniture, art, and accessories behind for use in our staging plan.
AtWell Staged Home coordinates Sy’s partial move, which allows us to lower the amount of rental furniture needed, stretch our budget, and to uniquely stage every space.
After just five days on the market, Sy accepts an offer, and the buyers’ Realtor passes along this message:
“My buyers wanted to communicate to the sellers their appreciation for how well the sellers have taken care of the property.”
This is what staging does—it makes a great first impression. And even though this initial offer does not go through to a final sale, it still signifies an impressive result stemming from the staging and home-preparation efforts.
The bad news is that the inspection identifies some unknown structural issues with the bedroom ceilings’ radiant heating system. The good news is that the radiant heat is the responsibility of the condo association and not the home owner. It takes a bit of time and disrupts the selling process, but all is fixed at no cost to Sy.
This 2-bed, 2-bath, multi-level, 1,600-square-foot condo in Heritage Hills finally sells for just 3% below the original asking price of $427k.
