HOME STAGING BEFORE AND AFTER IN KALAMAZOO AND BATTLE CREEK

This property was an awesome property, and had been on the market 2 1/2 years.  The neighborhood was great, the maintenance was perfect, the condition was perfect but it was a bit dated and vacant with no furniture or accessories.  This property needed some updating and freshening to make it stand out among the competition.  The homeowner was very engaged in this update and staging process.  We painted, took down dated, heavy draperies, changed light fixtures and cabinet hardware and added pops of color everywhere.  Below is the results for the living room.  It was very long (the entire width of the property) and when the homeowners lived there it housed a grand piano and two seating areas.

Below you have the results.  We provided two very comfortable seating/conversation areas.  We could have added a formal dining room at the far end and even discussed it but decided to go with this arrangement.  We used most of the homeowners things with a few StageRight items blended in.  The good news, the property sold in 28 days to the second couple who looked at it.
