Staged Vacant Home:

This project was a vacant home.  I toured the home with the homeowner and gave her suggestions on some changes that I felt would attract more buyers.  I suggested she remove all the red carpet and helped her choose a neutral color carpet.  I also assisted her in choosing a neutral paint color for the whole house.  I suggested that she replace the stained vinyl flooring in the master bath and laundry room with a fresh inexpensive neutral vinyl. After those changes were made I brought in furniture to help define the spaces of this very open floor plan.  I also changed out light bulbs to give a warmer effect.  I then added rocking chairs, a flag, and hanging ferns to the front porch and planted flowers at the front walk to give possible buyer's a welcoming first impression.  The effect: one of the first sets of buyer's to tour the home, signed off on a full price contract to purchase this home!
