Stage To Sell

Towards the end of 2011, Stage to Sell | Los Angeles Home Staging was contacted by some of our favorite clients over at Sunset Park Realtors to stage one of their new listings in Santa Monica. It was an occupied, multi-level townhome that needed some minor fixing up before it was ready to be staged. [...]

Here at Stage to Sell, we have been busy staging homes all over Los Angeles this summer. So busy, in fact, that we haven’t had a moment to blog about all the great projects we’ve been working on in the last month. So here’s a list for you – many of them already sold or [...]

We were recently called to stage this gorgeous vacant model town home because it was one of the last available units in a new building. Why wasn’t this one selling? Because there is no separate dining room or defined eating area. So when it was empty, it was very difficult for the average home buyer [...]

We are often asked whether we can stage a property using some of the home owner’s existing furniture. The answer is a resounding YES! In this case, the seller had perfectly usable pieces for her living and dining room that she was willing to leave behind in order to save a bit on the staging [...]

I have had two stagings recently where we’ve showed up to the property, moving van full, staging crew ready to go, and walked into a full-on construction site! Now you would think I would know better, seeing as how I posted this article back in 2008, warning other stagers to make sure their properties are [...]

Last month we were asked to preview a beautiful but vacant modern loft in Playa Vista. The Realtor had recommended that the property be staged as soon as she got the listing, but the owner didn’t want to spend the money – and he wanted to price it for what he paid for it, not [...]

In early 2008, I staged a beautiful vacant Santa Monica townhome. At the time, it was my favorite staging to date – very contemporary, hip and fun…not to mention, the agent wrote me the most glowing recommendation I’d ever gotten! As things go in the “small world” of Los Angeles real estate, the buyer’s agent [...]

Last week we had the pleasure of staging a beautiful Spanish style home for Russell Roney of Zip Realty. This amazing pool home was built in 1924 and still has many of the original period touches, but it has been updated with new paint throughout and a granite/stainless kitchen. You can’t beat the location where [...]
