This Lawrenceville, GA staged home has a story to tell. In January I received a frantic call from the homeowner who had already vacated the property. "Please help me. I don't know what else to do," she said. The home had been on the market for 6 months with only 1 lowball offer. I got the property address and told her I would take a look.
When I got there I found that the house was in pretty good shape. It had been painted and updated, but had no "flair." Plus, there was that awful blue carpet in the basement. (Some homeowners think that since it's in the basement, it doesn't matter. Guess again!) Here's a photo of the family room as I found it:
The homeowner had left some furniture, but it needed more with added accessories to bring it to life. I put together a home staging plan and pitched it to her. Here is the final result for the family room:
The home went under contract in a few (2-3) weeks! In speaking with the homeowner recently she said, "That's the best money I ever spent." We like to use the word "invested," but who's quibbling?
