This was a single family house where the owner had died and the family wanted to sell. The Realtor met with the owner and he introduced Staging.
The owner said he was not interested in spending money on the property and could the Realtor bring prospective buyers by to see what he would be offered. The realtor has agents in his office bring buyers by and the owner was offered $457.000 of the property. This was not what the Owner expected so he decided to have me come in to do a Staging Report. The house had been rented and the walls and floors were in bad shape. I recommended that the owner invest in having a painter come in, having the floors refinished and repaired in some places and the place to be cleaned. I also recommended having the property minimally staged. That meant putting items in the Bathrooms and Kitchen to make it look more like home. The owner agreed to this and the work began. The property was put on the market for $565,000 and it had multiple offers at the open house. The owner accepted an offer for $585,000, $20,000 over asking.

This was an out of town client. He lives in Chicago IL after being introduced to the client by the Realtor I went to see the property and called and spoke to Genzo. I told him I had been to the property and that the floors and walls were in bad shape. I did a report for him and sent it via e-mail so he could look it over. I explained that in today’s market the buyers have so many properties to look at that it would be wise to invest in Staging and getting the house ready for its first open house. He called the next day and agreed to my recommendations. I arranged for the floors to be touched up where they looked ok and re finished where they were bad. Painters were hired to give the property a fresh coat of paint and I went in and did minimal staging. This was all completed in two weeks. The property received multiple offers at open house and Genzo excepted an offer for over asking.

Our property received a bid above asking price on the day of the first open house, even in a slow market. We are sure that Mary O’Grady’s services with Stage to Sell made a big difference. We are grateful to her and for her services and would recommend Stage to Sell for anyone and everyone as they seek to sell their properties at top price and in a timely manner.

This was my most recent project. I met Susan about three weeks ago she was very interested in staging and how it could make a difference to the sale ability of her home. I explained how we need to make the most of the space in the home and why. I did the Report and suggested that some of the rooms and ceilings be painted, tidy up the plants in the yard, de-clutter and do the floors. Susan agree to everything except doing the floors as there just too much furniture and items in the house to allow for that. She said that she would take it into account if she got an offer and the buyers would like them done. After two weeks of hard work the first open house was this past Sunday. Susan got multiple offers and excepted on for $35,000 over asking. I am awaiting a Testimonial from Susan. Needless to say she was very pleased.

Dear Mary,
I can't thank you enough for all you did to ensure the quick and successful sale of our condo! You staged it beautifully to show off the size and features of our condo, and were so efficient arranging for the moving and storage of the excess furniture. Because I live out of town, your help was invaluable. Your additional sevices to arrange the necessary repairs, cleaning, clearance of clutter and eventual sale of my left over furniture was such a weight off my shoulders.
I have no doubts that the sale offer we received at our VERY FIRST open house, and eventual successful sale was in large part due to your efforts.
With heartfelt thanks,
Winona Wong

"Mary is a gifted home staging expert. The first time I asked Mary to help me was on a home that had been marketed by another agent for over 1 year. Mary came in and worked with the existing furnishings in the home as well as supplying items to complement the home from her own inventory. The staging was completed in 2 days and the homeowner was thrilled and claimed the house had never looked better. I guess buyers agreed as the home sold very quickly.
Mary's persoanlity was perfect for my homeowner who understood the need to make changes but never felt her own taste and livestyle were being judged. Well worth the investment."

In any real estate market it makes sense (literally) to make use of every positive technique when selling your home.
Mary O’Grady offers the most extensive approach to “staging”.
First, her assessment of a property is prompt, accurate, and always honest.
In approximately twenty-four hours of her walk-through she will prepare a comprehensive written report for you including pictures, her recommendations, and the price for her service.
Second, Mary will add if appropriate the function of cleaning, painting, and a variety of meaningful capabilities depending upon the needs of your property. Along with the listing realtor, Mary can facilitate elements including clean-outs, storage, and the introduction to other professionals who may help with cosmetic work (e.g. a carpenter) tied to the suggestions in preparing your home prior to the sales process.
Every listing that I am asked to quarterback includes the talents of Mary O’Grady. Her inspection of your real estate and the written report generated is paid by me.
Every listing where my client (the seller) is willing to make use of Mary’s talents has shown much better and sells much faster … and … for more money!
Without question Mary O’Grady is part of my team when selling a home. The investment in Stage to Sell always pays for itself and maximizes your bottom line.
