Proud to Partner with Proud Ground

When Synergy Staging was asked to stage a model unit for one of the newest Proud Ground developments, we were thrilled to be able to work with this awesome non-profit Portland agency that helps low income home buyers purchase their first home. This beautiful project named Svaboda Court has twelve newly constructed townhomes that are LEED platinum certified.

One of the more rewarding aspects of being a home stager is helping buyers see the potential of their new property. When our staging is also helping first time buyers envision their first home, it’s all the more fulfilling.

The Oregonian published a featured article about the new development where you can see many more details about Svaboda Court and some photos of the staging.

*** After only one month on the market half of the units are already under contract!

Here’s a few photos of the model.

Synergy Staging 2011 Top Success Stories

Synergy Staging is pleased to present our Top 9 Success Stories of 2011. This video of before and after photos showcases the vacant homes we staged that sold the fastest this past year. Some had been on the market well over 100 days prior to staging and sold very quickly.

Although it was a challenging year for the Real Estate market, there were plenty of positive signs to show that the market is moving well when a home is priced appropriately for the neighborhood, prepared well, and professionally staged.

Here’s to a most successful 2012 to all of our clients and associates. We hope that we are able to continue our valued partnerships and help sell more properties than ever!

2011 Proves Most Successful For Synergy Staging

2011 was another challenging year for both the real estate market and the economy as a whole. Although it continued to be a sluggish year, we saw many positive signs in the industry that sales are picking up and turning the corner.

We are pleased to announce our statistics for 2011 which are almost double the results of last year. In 2011 Synergy Staging helped sell over 13.6 million dollars of property that closed. Homes with our staging sold on average at 98% of list price. In addition, our average staged home sold approximately 71% faster when compared to the average days on market throughout the Portland metro area.

We appreciate the continued loyalty and support of our clients and look forward to working with you in 2012. Happy New Year!

Here are few pictures our first staging project of 2012, a great 5 bedroom home in Milwaukie, Oregon.

Portland Investors Score with Home Staging

Synergy Staging has been partnering with investors throughout Portland and seeing incredible results. The combination of tastefully remodeling a property with professional home staging has consistently sold properties far below the average days on market. Almost every remodeled home that Synergy Staging has staged has sold in less than 30 days compared to the average days on market of 140. Many homes have sold at their first open house in a matter of days.

Here is an adorable home in SE Portland that was completely gutted and refurbished. The results were beautiful and the home sold quickly.

Home Staging + New Construction = Quick Sale

What separates a house that sells quickly from a house that lingers on the market?

There are many answers to this question, including location, price, condition, presentation, home staging, and on and on. However, even with the multitude of answers to this question, there are important steps a seller can take to ensure the best possible chance at selling their home quickly and for top dollar.

Synergy Staging has provided home staging for several newly constructed homes in a wonderful West Linn development. And every new home that has been staged, without fail, has sold within 2 weeks after staging! Several homes had been shown empty for up to one month with no interest. Once the homes were staged, interest immediately picked up.

There is no doubt that adding home staging to the equation was a primary factor in generating interest and selling the property.

Home Staging Helps Listings Sell in Two Days – Twice!

Synergy Staging stages many different types of homes throughout Portland for many different types of clients. But the results continue to be very similar. Staged then Sold! Again and again and again! It’s been hard to keep up.

Whether the homes are new construction, recently remodeled, or lived in, the secret to a quick sale is consistently the same formula. Price your listing appropriately for your market, and make sure it is prepared and presented as best as possible.

It is presentation where home staging can really make a difference between sold and lingering on the market! When trying to sell your home, and typically your largest asset, you must ensure that you pull out all the stops to make it show at it’s absolute best. With all the competition you can’t take the process of selling your home for granted. Many think that their home is worth more than it is, or that it will ‘sell itself’, since they have such a strong personal attachment to it. This couldn’t be farther from the truth, and a primary reason to bring in an outside perspective from a home stager to honestly evaluate the property. This is the one way you can be certain you’ve done everything to make your home stand apart from your competition, get the top dollar, and sell as quickly as possible.

Here are two homes that our Portland Home Staging company recently staged. After staging they were listed, and sold in several days. Both closed in 30 days! These are the type of results we love.

3 Offers in One Weekend – Sold Over Asking Price

The Real Estate market can be unpredictable. That is one reason we encourage clients to stage their homes, to give them an edge and help sell their homes more quickly for more money.

Synergy Staging recently staged this beautiful home in Newberg, Oregon. The showings started slowly and even though the home was priced well, there wasn’t immediate interest. Then all of a sudden, on one weekend, three offers, and a bidding war. A bidding war in this market? Yes! It sold for over asking price with a solid back-up offer.

Keeping the home staged until it sold made all the difference. With the large spaces and undefined rooms, buyers would have continued to pass it by. Creating an atmosphere that buyers can imagine living in helps them see the potential of the house. Don’t leave the sale of your home to the imagination of potential buyers. it’s too risky.

Here are some before and after photos of the home:
