College park home sold in 3 days
College park home sold in 3 days – This bungalow in College Park was somewhat typical for the neighborhood. So what did Realtor Joe Newstreet dod to sell it quickly? He had it professionally staged. Designer Helen Bonello-Strauss suggested a grey paint color and a few minor fixed and improvements to tidy up the appearance. Then she gave the house a mid century modern overhaul to showcase the heritage and possibilities the property offered. The new furniture plays homage to the Jetson age without the dated look. It presented itself in a rejuvenated version of the mid century bungalow, crisp and current, clean and comfortable. What else did it need? The answer was found quickly: A buyer who wanted to immerse in the history of this desirable neighborhood close to downtown Orlando. It took only a few showings and 3 days to sell. Taking the essence of a building and to translate the architecture into a coherent design concept always reap rewards. In this College park property we see how the embrace of the mid century tradition worked to underline a design language that is so en vogue. While we don’t live on far away planets or frequent space stations, this successful staging job is proof that we, as a culture, embrace the style of the modern world, even in an older house.
Previously unsalable – Sold after 4 days
Previously unsalable – Sold after 4 days – Realtor Don Harkins with Keller Williams took on a listing that sat on the market with another Realtor and did not sell. The location on Hillcrest Avenue in Winter Park could not be the culprit.
His strategy to shake things up was to revamp the property with mostly minor renovations and a gorgeous staging by I design to Sell. As it played out this strategy worked great. The previously unsalable house sold within 4 days and received multiple offers in the process. Stager Helen Bonello-Strauss pointed to a few areas of improvement that made a big difference. One was that one of the rooms was used as an office. The stager recommended to remove the built in desk to make room for a bed. Since the house had already another office space plus a flex space behind the master suite, there was no need for a third office in the house. Marketing the house as a 4 bedroom gave the listing already quite a competitive edge. Also there were a few rooms with bold colors that needed a bit of neutralizing. The owner completed an overdue roof replacement, removed wallpaper in the powder room and did a few minor fixes to make the house market ready. The response was great. Real estate agents submitted multiple offers within a few days and the property closed quickly in less than a month. The team of I design to sell says THANKS to Don Harkins for the opportunity to be of service.
Sold in a weekend
Sold in a weekend! This staged home received 4 showings during the first weekend on the market while generating 3 offers before going under contract. None of the buyers offers were below asking price. The house must have been cheap, one might argue. But that is far from the truth, so much as a record pricing for any recent sale for a house of that size in the neighborhood. The house sold just a few month ago for $ 192,000 and underwent a cosmetic renovation to now fetch a stunning $ 241,500 a mere 3 months later. Designer Helene Bonello-Strauss was responsible for the sensitive re-design of the property. The most drastic change was a new kitchen with white shaker style cabinetry, floors and a lot of paint and some tile work to update it and make it appear fresh and current. The professional staging just rounded it off. “You have to give the buyer a vision of what the house will look like.” So the design expert. “When I do design consultation for Flippers I develop a coherent vision for the whole house, while taking existing features into account.” The success proves her right. While updating a property there are sometimes existing design features that can be incorporated in the design, that will bring value to the finished product. In this case the somewhat dated floor to ceiling mirrors in the formal living room received a custom frame. Now the mirrors appear current and stylish and create depth to the space. A nice way to make use of a feature and a fantastic opportunity to reflect style. Design and staging by www.idesigntosell.com
A staging transformation in Casselberry
A staging transformation in Casselberry – Here is an example how staging can bring out the best in a property. This newly remodeled 4 bedroom home shows its fabulous side. The challenge was a smaller scaled family room that we visually enlarged with some apartment scale furnishings. This setup gives proof that the room is indeed a grown up version of a cozy family room and ready for entertainment and relaxation time. The black and white carpets were chosen to provide needed contrast and to give visual interest to the space. The overall theme is black and white with a lot of neutral tones in the mix to create a calming appearance of the interior. Agent Adrian Eslava with La Rosa Realty has this beautiful 4 bedroom 3 bath pool home listed for sale at $ 265.000 and currently is showing the property to qualified buyers.
