Pasadena Home Staging A Luxury New Construction Home in Pasadena
June 19, 2010
Here’s some photos from the gorgeous new construction luxury home we staged in Pasadena yesterday. 5 bedrooms/7 bathrooms with a downstairs and upstairs master suite. 
The rooms were quite large and undefined. Staging defined the rooms and gave them a sense of scale.

Pasadena Home Staging A Beautiful Michillinda Park Pool Home
June 4, 2010
Tuesday we staged a beautiful Pasadena home in the Michillinda Park area after being called in for a home staging consultation the previous week.
Though occupied, there was very little furniture in the living room and the dining table in the formal dining room was very casual. We completely refurnished the living room and dining room and accessorized the 3 bedrooms, kitchen, family room and 3 bathrooms. In addition we staged the guest house.

Los Angeles Home Staging Works |A $225K Condo & $7M Luxury Home
May 18, 2010
I’m here to tell you, home staging works no matter your price point!
Here’s 2 homes we staged in the past 2 months:
Listed at $225,000, this Pasadena Affordable Housing condo (64 Mar Vista #115) sat on the market for almost 3 years before staging. We staged it in March and it’s now about to close escrow, 60 days later! We’ve destaged this unit and staged another to help with a faster sale on that one too.
We staged this Beverly Hills luxury home, listed for $6.9 M in April. They received an offer after the first week on the market! I’m going to repeat myself: $6.9 M with an offer in the first week.
The Pasadena condo was vacant and unoccupied. The Beverly Hills luxury home was occupied – the home owner was living in the home after we staged it . It doesn’t matter. If you are thinking of putting your Los Angeles, Pasadena, Arcadia or San Marino home on the market, and you want it to sell quickly, hire a professional home stager. Home staging works for a faster sale, no matter your price point!
Important Facts To Help Sell Your Los Angeles Home
May 17, 2010
Here’s some important facts to help sell your Los Angeles home.
This weekend I went to a real estate conference (RainCamp) at Loyola Marymount University and I learned the following:
- 87% home buyers are using Internet to search for homes
- 94% of 24-44 year olds are using Internet in their home buying process
- 37% of home buyers found their home on the Internet
How can you use these home buying statistics to help sell your home in Los Angeles?
- List your home with an internet and social media savvy real estate agent.
- Have your home professionally staged so it looks great in person and in on-line photos. Professional staging allows you to make your best first impression on the internet.
- Have your home professionally photographed after its staged. Some listing agents include professional photography as part of their marketing because they recognize the difference it makes. Point & shoot photos from a snappy pix camera won’t create a compelling desire to see your home
- Make sure your listing agent posts 10-20 photos of your home on the MLS (each MLS limits the number of photos allowed, so number of photos may be different)
Home Staging An Affordable Housing Condo In Pasadena #2
May 14, 2010
Yesterday we staged the second Affordable Housing condo for a real estate investment group. We destaged the first condo we staged in this development (because it had sold) and moved everything into this unit.
The first unit we staged sold within the first month of staging after having been on the market for almost 3 years!
The unit we staged yesterday in this Pasadena condo complex is a mirror image of the first unit. I changed out some of the artwork & accessories, just to freshen the look. Like the last unit, this condo is 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom in 600 sq. ft.

As you can see, the home has beautiful hardwood floors and lots of windows which make the rooms very bright & cheerful.
