The Power of Staging Before and After

The Power of Staging Before and After

For a community that was largely developed 40-50 years ago, the Aspen Valley has its share of dated housing stock that could use a little re-fresh. This is why we are seeing so many remodels and new builds happening in Aspen and Snowmass. Understandably, Sellers don’t always want to invest in a remodel before they sell a home but it's striking how successful good staging can be in marketing a home and a successful sale.
 
I have had the great opportunity to use my own staging items and in some cases purchase new furnishings resulting in quick and above-market sales. But when a seller is reluctant to re-decorate or paint there is the next best solution that I have been able to offer my clients. It's called virtual staging and can be done using 3-dimensional technology to remove furniture, change colors and finishes, and create a whole new look through photography alone. This allows a buyer to imagine the possibilities.
 
Below you can see some examples of both actual and virtual staging.
