Showhomes is mostly known for using live-in home stagers but we occasionally do traditional staging with just furniture as we did  in this case.

Take a look at her excellent work:

This home, like many vacant houses on the market, had been sitting for some time. Despite being a gorgeous home, its large rooms make it difficult for buyers to visualize their furniture in.

What a difference staging makes!

Instead of low-ball offers for $2 an2.5 million, this home is far more likely to sell near the list price with staging. For the homeowner, this is a really large potenial return on the staging investment.

Great job!

Thanks to Princeton NJ photographer Paul Bartholomew for taking these excellent pics.

She did an excellent job and  kudos to the live in Home Manager who brought this furniture with them when they relocated from Phoenix for a new executive job in LA. Beth was more than happy to find an empty vacant home that matched their furniture and we’re pleased it helped the home sell. Everyone wins!

We keep seeing homes like this one sell when nothing else does. Whole house staging with live in caretakers like this one are moving because they are the homes that buyers remember. Although they are expertly staged, they don’t look like it and buyers get really hooked emotionally.
