March 2010 – 3624 Myrtle Ave, Long Beach, CA
This home was previously condemed by the city of Long Beach due to horrible condition beyond words.

This property was purchased by an investor who remodeled the entire home. Installed a new kitchen, flooring, carpeting, paint, appliances and completed a lot of repair work.

December 2009 – 23441 Via Linda, Unit D, Mission Viejo, CA 92691
This property is a townhome in Mission Viejo. It looked very nice once it was staged with furniture and accessories. The living room has a little bit of a challenging layout, and that is why staging can help alleviate concerns about floorplans. Once it went on the MLS, it sold in 7 days with 5 offers for $25,500 over asking price! That was 7.5% over listing price! Staging make a huge difference!
Nov 2009 – 21630 Brisbane Way, Yorba Linda, CA 92887
We had staged a beautiful executive level home in Yorba Linda (5 B/R 4.5 bath, 4,300 sq ft home with a pool, maids quarters, family room, and bonus room for $1.1M) in July 2009. The home owners called us before they went on the market and knew they need some help. We gave them a consultation with a to do list and they spent a few weeks painting, cleaning, moving furniture, etc. Once they were 90% done with their list, they called us back to have us finish. We added missing artwork, trees, plants, accessories and just a few pieces of furniture. They went on the market and sold in 3 days! This was a success story just by itself.
The real success story here was the neighbor about 1 block away who had the same house with the identical floorplan. They had thier house on/off the market for almost 2 years with no offers. They saw our vehicles and signs and called us to come coach them. What was funny is that their house had almost the same issues as the first home before we started. So we gave them the consultaition, made their list and they spent a few weeks working the issues. It included painting, cleaning, moving furniture, etc. They also did 90% of the work themselves and they hired us to come do the final stages including artwork, trees, plants, accessories and some furniture. Once they were staged, they went on the market and sold in 3 weeks for $100,000 more than the first house. Both couples were estastic abd wrote nice testimonials.
