Ridgefield, CT, Home Staging
Ridgefield, CT, Home Staging leads to 8 offers, sells (for cash!) at 14%, or $151K, over asking, and is in contract within days of listing.
“Wanted to let you know that we got a really great cash offer for the house! The buyers even wanted to buy the rugs and some of the furniture. Thank you so much for your hard work. It was instrumental in getting us the offer so quickly.”
Janet and Dave text me this exciting news not long after listing their home for sale. The results are well earned by these hardworking home sellers who, with the much appreciated support of their listing agent, Sam Campolo of Compass Real Estate, take all of the staging advice offered by AtWell Staged Home.

Sellers opt to purchase three new area rugs, two fabric dining chairs, and four chairs for the new kitchen table (formerly the desk in their bedroom). They also elect to acquire new bedding, a variety of decorative throw pillows (aka “pointless pillows” as Dave calls them), a few faux plants, some minor pieces of art, and a slipcover for their bedroom sofa.
Looking carefully through the before-and-after images, you’ll see how these investments enhance the use of the clients’ furniture and effectively stage each space.
Without staging and painting, this home might have listed for only $950K, but after staging, the home lists at $1.1M.
Here’s what successful agent, Sam Campolo of Compass Real Estate, has to say about the results of this Ridgefield, CT, home staging:
“Susan’s staging skills always bring great results for me and my clients through higher list prices, faster sales, and more offers in less time.
Past clients rave about Susan and how she works. She is fair and tries her best to work with her clients and what they already have. I knew that this home could also benefit from Susan’s staging expertise.
The final results were 8 offers—with the first full-priced offer coming in on the first listing day—and a final cash sale of $151K over asking.
I give a lot of credit for this rapid sale to the staging that was done and the overall presentation and feel of the home. With results like these, I will continue to recommend Susan to all my future sellers.”
This 3-bedroom, 4.5-bath, 3,600-square-foot Ridgefield, CT, house has a full-price offer on the first listing day. And due to the staging efforts of these home owners, their house receives a total of 8 offers and sells for cash at $1.25M, or 14% over the $1.1M asking price.
By design, when a staging is complete, it’s not obvious what work was done or if the furniture, art, and accessories were purchased or found in the home. So let’s consider a few of the key details of this home to show how we can use so much of what our home sellers already have.
How you live in your home is not how you can sell your home. You’ve heard it a million times, but how many are truly willing to make the necessary changes to market their home and make it easy for buyers to see themselves living there? Well, our home owners, Janet and Dave, are on board from the very beginning.

We opt to make the largest and last room—which already has a built-in TV screen and sound system—the media room. We eliminate all the electronics from the smaller family room with fireplace, turning that into more of a cozy living room. We did keep the home owners office in the larger media space, since there is no dedicated office in this home.
