Especially in tough economy, we are seeing an increasing demand to stage occupied homes. We try to work with owners’ existing furnishing, thus saving them the money from renting furnishings from us. Occupied homes are tougher to stage than vacant homes, the design process is more involved since we’d have to consider the owner’s furnishing and make sure the staging is practical to live with.

Here is an example of a condo in Mountain View we recently staged. The property was previous on the market, staged by another staging company, and after more than half year, it was still on the market. Then… the Realtor was changed, and we were asked to freshen up the place. We removed some of owner’s bulky, dated items, brought in few contemporary furnishings, injected brighter colors here and there, and voilà! The place was sold in a week with multiple offers at almost $30,000 over the listing price.

Does staging really work? ;-)

Our staging combined with our complimentary eye-popping photography/virtual tour service give you the winning edge!

Here is the comparison between the previous stager’s work (left) and ours (right):

Victor and us have collaborated for few months now, and he (www.victorlinphoto.com) impresses us every time! Don’t let Victor’s rather young age fool you, he has been playing with cameras before he even started Algebra! Victor’s passion has been with outdoor photography, he has set foot in countless national parks and who-knows-where deserted places around the country. According to him, his favorite thing to do is to take panoramic photo of beautiful landscapes… well, I am glad he is applying his years of experience to real estate photography. Don’t forget to checkout few virtual tours he created recently (near the bottom of the post).

We are not sure how he does it, his exterior photos capture the deep blue sky with whitest puffy clouds, and his interior shots are able to grabs all the details inside the room AND the sharp image of outside thru glasses, the range and dimension of his photos are amazing!

Well, each of these 5 sets of photos are really showing the same stuff: burger, gown, celebrity, dining and family room, respectively; the difference is really how the subject was presented.

If the burger company can spend who-knows-how-many-$$$$ for Paris Hilton to sizzle up their burger, shouldn’t you do something to properly showcase your home? Remember, presentation is everything, you are not only selling a home, but a lifestyle!!

De-cluttering, cleaning, painting, staging and photographing, we are here to help!
