Los Angeles Home Staging – Staging a Valley Village Beauty

July 12, 2010

Last week Los Angeles home staging company Moving Mountains Design staged this Valley Village beauty.

I first started working with the homeowner in December 2009. He was very proactive about getting his home into top shape and he hired me for a home staging consultation. Over the next 6 months he and his wife worked very hard to complete my recommendations included in the comprehensive home staging report provided.The results were fantastic!

San Marino Home Staging A San Marino Pool Home

July 11, 2010

San Marino Home Staging A San Marino Pool Home

This week we staged a fantastic San Marino Pool home. The listing agent, Beatrice Li, has hired Moving Mountains Design before to help stage her San Marino listings. Beatrice owns this home and did an almost complete remodel from top to bottom. The home boasts a new kitchen, 5 new bathrooms, new hardwood flooring, new carpet, many new light fixtures and the list goes on. With the remodeling work that Beatrice did, the home staging I provided, a smart price and a fantastic location, this San Marino home should sell quickly.

Home Staging A Modern Loft In Valley Village

July 5, 2010

We recently completed staging this very chic and modern condo loft in Valley Village, Los Angeles.

My clients are real estate investors who understand the added value that home staging brings to any real estate listing. Since I’ve staged several condos and model homes in Pasadena and Glendale for themthey’ve experienced first hand that home staging will help their listings sell faster and for more money. As a Los Angeles home stager, I have to be familiar with all areas of the Los Angeles area and understand who the buyers are and what they are looking for.

This loft style condo has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms on 2 floors. I wanted to show there was enough space to have a comfortable seating area and dining table as well as the counter bar in the living room/kitchen great room.

Los Angeles Home Staging a Distinctly Darling Classic Larchmont Cottage

June 20, 2010

This Los Angeles home stager had a busy week last week with all the stagings and destagings. I’m excited to have been able to stage this classic Larchmont Village cottage just a block away from Larchmont Blvd. in the Hancock Park area of Los Angeles.  I initially did a consultation including paint colors. The home went into escrow before we were able to stage it, then fell out. I’m very sorry it didn’t sell, but I’m happy we had the opportunity to stage it.

3 bedrooms (2 ensuite) and 3 bathrooms, French doors opening on to the patio and pool, privacy galore plus a beautifully landscaped yard are the recipe for the perfect entertainers home in a desirable Larchmont Village location. Beautiful period appropriate light fixtures and check out those barrel vaulted ceilings!

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.

Home Staging In Downey, CA – Staging Luxury Homes

June 3, 2010

Today we staged a luxury home in Downey, CA. The listing agent called me just before I went on vacation a couple of weeks ago. When I told him I couldn’t stage his luxury home until after I returned, he said “I don’t care. We want the best home stager. We’ll wait for you!” Normally, I don’t travel as far as Downey to stage homes, but with a lead in like that, how could I say no?

When we arrived today to stage this beautiful home, there was still work ongoing. The painters and electricians hadn’t quite finished. Cabinet doors were off, chandeliers weren’t hung, etc. and the grand piano hadn’t been delivered by the time we left. We staged around them, but weren’t able to finish 100%. I’ll be going back to take more photos and do the final touches. In the meantime, here’s a sneak peak of a couple of rooms:

Here’s the living room before the grand piano was delivered. It will go where the little stool is in the background. And yes, that’s my mobile phone on the cocktail table :o )

No expense was spared in the details and construction of this home. Everything is the best…including the home stager!

I’ll post more photos once the work is finished and I’m able to return to take more photos. Stay tuned.

Playing It Safe When Your Los Angeles Home Is On The Market

May 19, 2010

play it safe when selling your los angeles homeIt’s important to play it safe when your Los Angeles home is on the market.

You will have all manner of people- real estate agents, potential buyers and looky-loos- trooping through your house during open houses and showings. While I like to assume the best about people, I also think its important to play it safe.

Here’s 5 tips for safety while your home is on the market:

  1. Lock up or hide all prescription medications. They are usually expensive, easy to sell on the street and are a prime target for thieves.
  2. Lock up or hide personal papers or bills. Don’t leave your social security number or account numbers in plain sight for identity thieves. Its no one’s business how much you owe or how much money you have in your checking account.
  3. Lock up or hide jewelry, cash or collectibles. That signed baseball, silver Tiffany dinner bell, or diamond tennis bracelet are very enticing to someone with sticky fingers.
  4. Don’t leave extra keys in plain sight. Its an open invitation to a thief to come back later and help themselves when no one is around.
  5. Lock up or hide any firearms or weapons you may own. Hiding them in a drawer next to the bed or in your sock drawer is not good enough. Lock them in a safe or remove them from the house.

Yes, your listing agent will take every precaution to make sure your home and possessions are safe and secure, but they can’t be everywhere at once. Often theft teams will use one person to engage the real estate agent, while other members of the team case the house.

Follow these tips and play it safe when your Los Angeles home is on the market.

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.

Pasadena home staging works for a faster sale!

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)
