Today the Team talks to Todd McAllister, Owner and Sales Manager from OnStage, a staging company located in Seattle as well as in Portland. We will discuss the importance of professionals dressing up and primping your house to make it as perfect as it can look.
Since 2004, OnStage has helped sell over $6 billion in real estate and they aren’t slowing down. Home staging is no small matter. Everything they do is proven and perfected. And staging is just as much a mental and emotional process as it is physically changing and tidying your home.
Plus, Todd has some great stories of the hilarious and odd things that happen in staged homes on the market. (Potential buyers used to do what in the staged bedrooms?)
Also, Todd and Audra have easy to implement tips and tricks to get your house ready and beautiful even if you choose not to use a professional stager.
Andrew Galler’s Market Minute has some interesting tidbits that I wasn’t expecting to hear; that, it’s a buyers’ and sellers’ market at this point. He'll explain!
Audra's Newsletter:
Looking back at 2022, I am still amazed that the kids stayed in school and life started to return to pre-pandemic times. I am humbled by our community in staying together and supporting each other during those times.
And now here we are, in the month of love! Half way through winter, people! And while I love skiing and the snow, I also love the spring and watching the bulbs that were planted in the fall arrive.
February - while short - is a mighty month, full of anticipation and love...and design! We have just wrapped up 2 GORGEOUS bathroom remodels! Below are before & after pictures of one of them. Walls were moved, space re-configured and then put back together with thought and intention. We actually flipped the bathroom and closet for more useful space. The previous two small closets had no light so we opened up the walls and started over, making small chopped-up closets into one large walk in closet. There were three doors in the bedroom, we removed one. We moved EVERYTHING so it flowed and we then hid the toilet behind a wall. The accent wall with the vanity was our highlight, so everything moved around that. Other items of note: heated floors, luxe carpet in the closet, lots of lights and the moving of the attic access panel into a hall closet added to the details. We are in love!
The market also seems to be heating up, so reach out to Andrew if you're starting to think about selling or buying! 503.975.1829
