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.

A Great Remodeling Resource For Home Stagers, Real Estate Agents & Flippers

May 12, 2010

If you are a home stager, real estate agent, remodeler or flipper, and you don’t know about Van Dyke’s Restorers you should.

Its available as a print catalog or an online catalog here.

Why is this such a valuable resource for Los Angeles home stagers, real estate agents and remodelers? They have pretty much everything you could possibly need to handle missing parts and pieces for a vintage or older home.

Home stagers and listing agents are often asked to repair or replace missing cabinet and drawer pulls, switch plates or light fixtures from the older homes they stage or list.

Here’s just a small sampling of what they offer.

Their prices are very reasonable. Check VanDyke’s Restorers for your home staging, remodeling, real estate restoration or flipping needs.

Los Angeles Home Staging Company Stages A $7M Lux Home In Beverly Hills

May 3, 2010

I got an unusual request last week – to stage an occupied $7 million home for sale in Beverly Hills, which was almost fully furnished, but needed accessorizing. This job was unusual because, while I occasionally do stage homes in Beverly Hills, I usually stage for a group of builders I stage for in other parts of Los Angeles. This staging job was for a prestigious Westside real estate agent who I had not worked with before. And the house was beautifully furnished, but with very few accessories and no artwork.

Here’s some photos of the home after we finished staging:

Here’s a photo of what this family room looked like before home staging and accessorizing (below)

While this home is magnificent, and the furniture is beautiful, it really comes alive with the right accessories and artwork. Here’s to a fast sale!

Luxury New Construction Arcadia Home Staging Is Simply Stunning!

April 16, 2010

Top luxury Arcadia home staging company, Moving Mountains Design, was hired to stage a beautiful new construction Arcadia home.

We started staging it last week, but had to take a break to allow the builder to finish construction. This Arcadia pool home, besides being stunning has a great floorplan plus many extras. There is a huge finished basement media room, and a wine cellar! The cabinetry, tile work and finishes are masterful. It was a pleasure to stage this home and I have no doubt it will sell very quickly!

Arcadia Home Stagers Stage a Wonderful Pool Home

April 16, 2010

This week Arcadia home stagers, Moving Mountains Design, staged a lovely Arcadia home. This pool home has wall to wall windows in the living room and dining room that overlook the sparkling blue pool. With an open floor plan and generously sized rooms, this is a great home for entertaining. This smart homeowner knew that by hiring a professional home stager, potential buyers would not be put off by large open rooms and would be able to see how they could lay out their furniture if they purchased this home. Also, every space now has a clearly defined purpose and the home feels warm & welcoming.
