I met with this couple as they were planning to move just before the holidays. Our goal
was to draw out every equity dollar they had accrued while living in their home.
Anxious to get on with their lives, they moved their belongings to their new home. They
understood a Staged® home would allow them to sell their home as quickly as
possible. Our team brought in furnishings and accessories hand selected to focus
attention on the numerous strengths of the floor plan and unique architectural details.
We came the day after Thanksgiving to create some Staging "magic". Imagine how
pleased the homeowners were when they received an offer the very next day...who
says you can't sell your home during the holidays?
Truly another Successful Staging!

...only days after Staging® and...Sold!
Fran contacted me to Stage® her home after it had already been on the market for a few days. When
I arrived at her home Fran explained to me that she had two showings scheduled for the very next
morning so time was of the essence! Fran was a real trooper as we went through her entire home
removing, replacing and re purposing items in her home. She completed what she could after I left
and the showings were on! She contacted me just days later...SOLD!
"Thank You, Thank You, Thank You !!!!!!
My house sold Sunday evening, after 12 days on the market for 99% of the asking price!
Not bad!!!! Closing is set for next month.
Oh - by the way - the steel wool worked marvelously in the bathtub!!!"
-Fran
Three days of showings and...sold!!!
I met with the homeowner on Monday for the Staging® consultation. Working with the homeowner, we
established the "Action List" and got to work. She completed the list Wednesday evening. Showings began on
Thursday. Early Sunday morning I received a call from the Realtor...SOLD!

Tim and Dawn-Sold in 8 Days! Tim and Dawn decided to sell Tim's home prior to their wedding only weeks away. We focused on giving his bachelor pad a "homey" feeling by rearranging furniture, packing away clutter and giving each room an identity. They were very pleased when, eight days after putting his home on the market, they had not one, not two, but three offers!!! They were able to accept an offer which proved to be the highest selling price for the neighborhood...and the wedding was beautiful! (See below for Part 2 of this story!)

Tim and Dawn (Part 2!)-Sold to the First People Who Saw It! After a wonderful honeymoon Tim and Dawn returned and decided to sell Dawn's home and buy a "their" home. They were happy with their first Successful Staging so they contacted me again. Once again, we came up with a clear plan for their time and efforts. The property was put on the market Friday with their first showing on Monday. After only two showings, the first people who saw their home made an offer. With the confidence that came from knowing how well their home was showing, Tim and Dawn negotiated with confidence and got the price they wanted and... another Successful Staging!

“This is our second Staging® with Bobbie, our first being so successful we had our pick from several offers. This time was no different. Bobbie came in, and even though I considered our house well-decorated, she saw things I didn’t see. She re-arranged a few things here and there and voile la! Magic! What a difference even subtle changes make…a little re-arranging of furniture here, some well-staged items there. You can’t imagine the difference. Our house sold in 6 days! And as daunting as getting a house ready to sell can be, Bobbie made the experience virtually stress-free and at times even fun. I’d work with Bobbie again in our heartbeat (though I do hope this is our last move for a llllloooonnnggg while! -Dawn

Curb appeal was forgotten when we first saw, or rather, didn't see this home. It had been on the market for four months without an acceptable offer.
|
We focused on creating a storybook entrance to this charming home. Only two hours after the yard work was completed the home was shown to the very people who ultimately bought it four days later. Another Successful Staging!!!

Kim and Leon-Sold within Two Weeks!
She later wrote:
"Bobbie,
I really appreciate all your decorating and staging ideas for my house. It really gave me the direction I needed
to get it ready to put on the market. Repainting, editing the furniture, and setting up vignettes for each of the
rooms have added vitality and interest to our house that have enhanced it's value. The wall paint colors were
spot on, we have already received compliments from potential buyers.
Thanks again, Kim "
I was thrilled to get the call from their Realtors office when they told me, "We know we got the price we did due to your efforts." Another
Successful Staging in less than two weeks!

Rosemary-Sold in Ten Days!
"I have to say I was skeptical at first; there were several other houses for sale in the same development,
all for much less than mine. I wasn’t sure that the changes we had made to the house would make a big
difference in the time it took to sell or in the sale price, but I was willing to give it a shot. But the house did
look a whole lot better—the removal of the extra furniture really did make a difference. In the end, the
house sold in 10 days for almost full asking price. Ultimately I was glad I had followed Bobbie’s direction,
and it gave me a new appreciation for what selling a house really involves.”

A Realtor Partner contacted me to Stage® a home located directly on the golf course. With new construction and competition from within the
neighborhood and other golf communities, it needed to shine in order to get top dollar. We toured their home as I proceeded to compile an
"Action List". The homeowners were great and jumped on board right away. I suggested updated paint colors and we moved furniture as I
suggested what needed to be packed away. The homeowners elected to finish the "Action List" themselves and I encouraged them to contact me
should they have any questions. Later, the Realtor reported that the homeowners made the updates, packed away the clutter and the house
looked fantastic! Through a twist of fate, another Realtor had clients looking in that very neighborhood and asked to see the home prior to the
target marketing date. The homeowners felt good about their changes so they opened the door and presto! SOLD! They ultimately sold their
home for $65,000.00 more than they had originally planned. Yes, it did appraise at the higher price proving, once again, that Staging® works as
it draws out the hidden equity in a properly Staged® home! Truly a Successful Staging!

Rosemary's Realtor called me in to Stage® Rosemary's home. It was a large Staging® and Rosemary had a
very demanding job which kept her away most of the time. She had already purchased her next home so
she was feeling the pressure to get this home sold and for top dollar! With time and budget a concern, we
rallied friends from her church, wonderful neighbors and a faithful brother who descended upon her home
in a matter of days. I oversaw a Saturday morning push with many of her friends showing up to help. Within
hours the home was officially Staged® and in only 10 days on the market her home sold...
another Successful Staging!
The importance of curb appeal...Sold in 4 Days!

Kim and Leon had decided to move and wanted to guarantee they received all of the equity they had
built up in their home. They had done recent updates in the kitchen
and wanted the rest of the house to reflect these updates. Kim and I
toured the home, devised an "Action List" and Kim got right to it!
