When selling your home, every square foot is valuable — but what if buyers can’t see the value in each area? Statistics show that 80% of home buyers cannot see the potential of rooms – only what they see.  That’s a scary statistic if you are selling a home that is less than perfect!

Recently we staged a Corvallis Oregon home which had a less than desirable floor plan.  Or so it seemed upon first glace by home buyers.  This home was vacant and showed very poorly.  A confusing floor plan can often be remedied by professional home staging.

This huge master bathroom had no shower, was stark white and looked like a huge waste of space.
This space was off the living room and was a walk through space which accessed two additional bedrooms. Since there was already a family room, people had no ideas on how to use the space. The wood stove sits in the center of the room, and there are three doorways causing additional challenges.
We obtained a bid on the cost to add a shower to this room. Potential buyers nearly always overestimate remodeling costs, so having the costs prepared for them is a good home selling tool. To make the room more appealing, we rotated the storage cabinet to the wall on the left and added a bench. We added some color with towels, valances, and art.
A screen and candles in the tub area added some much-needed color and interest for this unusual space.
By showing potential uses for this “walk thru” area, it had new value for home buyers. Space for a desk and laptop, game table or reading area is something every family can relate to now that it is spelled out for them!

This home had been previously on the market and generated very little interest and no offers.  It received multiple offers once it was staged (and sold in less than a week).   When selling your home, make sure it is prepared to beat the competition!  Prepare to show off every amenity and square inch of your home so buyers will see the value of your home – not comparable listings!
