Staged & Sold in 2 Days in Centreville

FEATURED STAGED HOME: CENTREVILLE TH

Yes, this happened in August 2006 during the peak of a vacation season and when the media was reporting slowing real estate markets. This is a staging success story from Northern Virginia where Realtors work smarter and Staged Interior works miracles. This occupied townhouse in Centreville (MRIS# FX6144076) was staged before it was listed and sold in 2 days while there were more than 25 houses on the market in the same neighborhood for as long as 4 months.

The following is the timeline of this staging project:

7/23:	Trish Kim at Staged Interior met with the seller for the initial consultation
7/24-29:	Under Trish's direction, the house was de-cluttered and painted with appealing colors
7/29:	Listing agreement signed with the Vivian and Mark team at Keller Williams Realty
8/1:	Staged by Trish's staging team
8/3:	The listing went live in MRIS
8/4:	Received an offer
8/5:	Contract ratified

Donna S, the seller, speaks of Trish's staging service:

"Trish, I loved what you did to my house during the staging. I believe it's what sold my house within a day. (Totally unheard of in this current housing market where most houses are sitting on the market for 2 months!) It's a great house but what you did put it over the top and separated it from the myriad of other houses on the market. I was glad I trusted you throughout the whole process and gave you free rein!

Another testament to your effectiveness is that not only did the house sell very quickly but the prospective buyer wanted to buy the house as is with all the furniture!

Also Trish, you were very thoughtful of me, my feelings, and how I might respond to your suggestions. Your thoughtfulness and sensitivity shows thru all your actions. I thank you very much for your time and effort. I think it was worth every cent! Bless You!"

The listing agents, Mark Wozniak and Vivian Spencer, who are repeat clients of Staged Interior, say:

"Trish has a real talent for creating a "Wow!" factor when touring a home. Whether it's taking a vacant property and turning it into a welcoming, vibrant home, or taking a furnished property and making it as attractive & inviting as possible, Trish knows the best approach. She is quite skilled at enhancing the feeling of spaciousness and arranging items to draw the eye where it can take advantage of the best features of the home. In addition, her use of colors, artwork, fabric selection, furniture selection, decorative items, plants, and more all integrate really well to make the home tour a pleasing and memorable experience for the potential home buyer. When Trish stages a home, it truly stands out like a model home relative to the unstaged competition on the market."

Thank YOU, Donna, Mark and Vivian, for trusting us and cooperating with us at Staged Interior! It truly was a team work and a job well done!
