HISTORY

Vizcaya Design staged its first home in February 2005.   The property sold after one open house for 5% over asking.   Vizcaya Design's second staging job yielded similar results.   In October 2005, Vizcaya Design staged a home (de-cluttered, packed, repositioned, brought in some new things, painted old furniture to make it look new, and tightened the place up).   After 2 Sunday open houses, the deal was done, and the property had sold for 15% over asking. The original listing price was at market value, not below.

Success stories abound.   Bevin's story of her own 4-unit building is important to mention: top and bottom floors identical.   Back units were smaller with views.   Front units had larger, open floor plans. Bevin staged one of each on the lower level, as the top typically are the more desirable and will likely not need as much help selling. The outcome: the staged units get ALL the action: multiple, above asking offers on the staged, and single, at asking offers on the unstaged units. For us, this was an important proof of the value and effectiveness of staging.
