Los Angeles Home Staging – A Second Condo For A Real Estate Auction Company

October 19, 2009

As I wrote in an earlier post Home Staging A Condo For A Los Angeles Real Estate Auction Company , Moving Mountains Design staged 2 Los Angeles condos last week for a real estate auction company.

Both condo developments we staged the models for are new construction and are vacant. The auction company had rented a few pieces of furniture on their own, but didn’t feel that the small amount of furniture made the model home units more appealing. They hired Moving Mountains Design to do a full model home staging of all 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a home office (also could be used as a family room), living room / dining room combination, eat-in kitchen and a massive ground floor family room.

Here are some photos before and after staging:

The auction company VP I was dealing with wanted to make sure that potential buyers knew this area could be a dining area as well as a living room with an open floor plan.

Please note, the power hadn’t been turned on yet on the day we staged, so I had to be content with natural light for the photos. I like to augment the available light by lighting the lamps and ceiling fixtures.

Information regarding the auction of these condos can be found here: Independence Villas

Home Staging a Condo For a Los Angeles Real Estate Auction Company

October 18, 2009

This week we staged 2 Los Angeles condos for a real estate auction company.

This was the first time they had worked with a home stager and this was the first time I had worked with a real estate auction company. I think its a match made in heaven. The condos they will be auctioning look 100% better now that they’ve been staged by Moving Mountains Design. Having a more desirable product to auction should create greater urgency to bid resulting in more units sold and higher prices paid.

Here are photos of the Pacoima condo after home staging:

These are not expensive condos relative to Los Angeles home prices. But the model now looks like a high price, luxury unit after home staging. We used just enough furniture, accessories and artwork to highlight the condo’s architectural features and to give purpose to every room yet still remain cost effective.

These condos originally listed for around $400,000.00. According to the website, the opening bids at auction will be $125,000.00-$150,000.00. The auction is scheduled for November 15, 2009.
