As professional home stagers, we’ve seen it happen over and over again – zombies taking over listings and making them un-sellable!  You’ve seen the houses…..They give vacant stares…. and make you feel creepy…..not wanting to go near!

What room is this? How large is it?
Small dining rooms show better when staged
Buyers didn’t think this dining room was adequate when the home was for sale and vacant

We chased the zombies from this home recently in Salem.  It was for sale by owner without success and sold within days once it was professionally staged.

Sometimes even beautiful homes can be attacked by zombies and need a little extra pizzazz! (click the photos below to see enlarged images)

Warm and inviting photos attract potential buyers to view homes

 

If your listing isn’t getting the attention you want and showings aren’t bringing offers it’s time to chase away those zombies!

Professional home staging offers warm and inviting rooms, effective marketing and an end to the nightmares!
