Synergy Staging - Home Staging in Portland Oregon Blog

It's always great to get that call - the house sold and we need to schedule the de-staging.  This was especially satisfying as the house had been on the market for 7 months without a sale (see this link to my Blog posting) and received an offer only 6 weeks after staging.  The owners were going t...

It's been such a busy time and so long since I've blogged.  Hopefully I'll be back more regularly now. One of the houses that we staged recently sold.  The builder had another home next door with an almost identical floorplan, so he wanted us to move the staging to that home in hopes of closing a...

As we all know - this is an incredibly challenging real estate market and overall economy right now.  Not only are sellers facing unprecedented hurdles in selling their homes, but even renting has become a challenge.  Typically a slower sales market can result in a better rental market.  That is ...

Here is a look at the latest project that Synergy Staging completed.  We recently staged this gorgeous home that was newly constructed in Lake Oswego, Oregon.  It has spectacular views with 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, 3 car garage, bonus room, media room, wine cellar, and all the bells and whistles.  ...

Synergy Staging received a call the other day for a staging proposal at a home in West Linn, Oregon.  You can imagine our surprise when we pulled up to the home and it was one that we had looked at over 1 1/2 years ago when we happened to be touring some local Open Houses.  At that time it wasn't...

UPDATE - After sitting on the market for 7 months, the home sold 6 weeks after staging and closed on Christmas Eve.  Had to de-stage in a snow storm - new blog coming soon! Here is our most recent staging --- We were contacted directly by a homeowner whose house had been sitting vacant on the mar...

Our websites are probably the most valuable marketing tools that we as stagers have in our arsenal.  The place to showcase our portfolio, design style, service information, testimonials, etc.  Most important are those Before and After photos!!! Creating your website, it's look, and content can al...

I thought it would be fun for all of us to share some of our worst before situations and the transformations that follow.  Everyone has experienced one of 'those' homes and sometimes the results are remarkable.  Let's see them! We always like to approach each project with the best design solution...

We recently received a call from one of our favorite Realtors who had a new listing that needed help. I say she is one of our favorite Realtors because every house we have staged for her has sold in one to two weeks! The house, built in 1908, was a charming Portland home.  It was occupied, so we ...

It's about time I start blogging - so I'm jumping in with both feet! We attended the RESA Staging Expo here in Portland a few weeks and were inspired with many ideas for our business, website, marketing, warehouse, etc.  That was on Saturday, September 13.  We had been a bit slow, though we had w...
