Staging An Affordable Housing Condo In Pasadena #2

Yesterday we staged the second Affordable Housing condo for a real estate investment group. We destaged the first condo we staged in this development (because it had sold) and moved everything into this unit.

The first unit we staged sold within the first month of staging after having been on the market for almost 3 years!

The unit we staged yesterday in this Pasadena condo complex is a mirror image of the first unit. I changed out some of the artwork & accessories, just to freshen the look. Like the last unit, this condo is 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom in 600 sq. ft.

The Garden Conservancy Pasadena Garden Tour

Today, my friend Mary Gray who owns the garden accessory store Pot-ted in Los Feliz, and I went on a tour of some beautiful and historic Pasadena gardens. The tour was part of the Garden Conservancy Open Days program.

According to their brochure "The Garden Conservancy is the only national nonprofit organization founded to preserve exceptional American gardens for the education and enjoyment of the public."

Six Pasadena homeowners generously opened their private gardens to Garden Conservancy guests this year.

I love to look at local gardens. I always walk away with lots of curb appeal ideas for my Pasadena and Arcadia home staging clients. We saw many gorgeous gardens, but Mary and I both liked the last garden we toured, the Bixby garden, the best. It wasn't a formal garden, like some of the others, but it had the most personality and charm. It reflected the Spanish Revival style of the home. You had a sense that the homeowners used and enjoyed all of the garden all of the time, not just when they were entertaining. You also had a sense that they got in there and got dirt under their fingernails.

The cactus garden was breathtaking. It was planted years ago by a previous owner who was the curator of the cactus gardens at the Huntington Gardens.

If you have an interest in gardens or garden design, I highly recommend you take the opportunity to participate in the next the Garden Conservancy Garden tour.

Pasadena Arlington Garden - Fertile Soil For Curb Appeal Inspiration

As a home stager in Pasadena, CA, I'm often asked where I get my inspiration from. For curb appeal, one of my favorite places is Arlington Garden, at the corner of Arlington and Pasadena Avenue in Pasadena. I'm fortunate to live nearby, and I have the pleasure of walking through the Garden several times per week when I'm walking the dogs.

Here's what's happening this week (in pictures) in Arlington Garden:

Purple Iris for Pasadena Curb Appeal

Purple iris in a flow of Candytuft

California Poppies for Pasadena Curb Appeal

California Poppies: With all the rain we've gotten this year, we should have a huge poppy bloom

Artichokes for Pasadena Curb Appeal

Artichokes make a very striking landscape plant (yes, these are edible)

The Garden is maintained by a very intrepid group of local residents, for which I am eternally grateful. There are many lovely garden "living rooms" where one can sit down, relax & enjoy the scenery. If you are in the Pasadena area, check out Arlington Gardens and see how it inspires you!

Even Small, Inexpensive Homes Require Home Staging - Pasadena Home Staging Info

A few weeks ago, my Pasadena home staging company, Moving Mountains Design, I was hired to provide home staging services for a very small (600 sq. ft.!!) 1 bedroom, 1 bath Pasadena condo. I was hired by a real estate investment company that does condo conversions and also purchases foreclosure properties including new construction condo projects that have gone belly up. Every unit in this project has sold except for this one. The unit is very affordably priced at $225,000, which is cheap by Los Angeles real estate standards. The real estate investment company is hoping that once staged, this unit will sell quickly.

Pasadena Home Stager Is Featured In Article "Sold On Staging"

A few weeks ago I was interviewed by a reporter for the Pasadena Star News for an article about home staging. They sent out a photographer when we were staging this Altadena home. Originally the article was supposed to be published on March 13th, but they held it for 2 weeks so it could be published in all of the San Gabriel Valley Newspaper Group's sister publications, I think 7 in all.

Pasadena home stager featured in the Pasadena Star News

I think the article gives a very well balanced look at how much home staging costs (in the Los Angeles-Pasadena real estate market) and what to expect from a home staging consultation.

The article also mentions the Real Estate Staging Association home staging statistics and recommends checking the Real Estate Staging Association list of local members when looking to hire a home stager.

Model Home Staging a Pasadena Townhome

Model Home Staging A Pasadena Townhome

A couple of weeks ago, I was contacted by a very upset Pasadena builder. It seems the home staging company they had hired earlier, had sent them an email that they would not be able to stage the builder's model the following week. She asked if I would be able to stage a model home in time for the scheduled open house and do it within their budget. Of course I said yes!

Los Angeles Home Stager - Staging A Pasadena Rental

Do smart landlords and property managers hire a home stager to stage Los Angeles rentals?

home staging of a Pasadena guest house rental

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, because they understand the value of having a beautiful guest house, apartment, condo or townhouse to show prospective tenants. It works the same way as home staging when selling a home. The better the rental looks, the more tenants you will have to choose from. Nicer people want and will be attracted to a nicer place to live. It’s that simple.

As a smart landlord myself, and a professional home stager in Los Angeles, I always stage my rental properties in hopes of attracting the best tenants.

Stylish Occupied Home Staging in Pasadena, CA

Staging An Occupied Pasadena Home With Art & Accessories

Here's some photos from our latest Pasadena home staging project. Moving Mountains Design was hired by the homeowner/listing agent to "add the icing" to this beautiful home. As this was an occupied home staging, we used the homeowner's existing furniture and some accessories, and brought in art work, silk plants and additional accessories from our extensive inventory. We were very fortunate that the homeowner had some lovely pieces for us to stage with.

When you put your Los Angeles home on the market, you are entering it in a beauty contest. The best looking homes sell faster and for a better price. Home buyers today are looking for turn-key homes, homes they can move into without having to invest money in painting, carpeting and repairs. Moving Mountains Design home stagers will help you get your home or listing into tip-top shape and enhance it with furniture, rugs and accessories so that potential buyers will choose your home over the hundreds of others currently on the market.

Moving Mountains Design was featured in the Sunday Los Angeles Times Real Estate Section, the Chicago Tribune, Green Builder and numerous other national and international publications. Don't settle for second best, and don't trust the sale of your home to anyone but one of the top home staging companies in Los Angeles.

We stage occupied and vacant homes, from $500,000 to $15 million. We honor the architectural style of the home and stage to appeal to the greatest number of buyers while minimizing any less desirable features.

We also offer comprehensive home staging consultations - a staging "road map" for the homeowner who would like to do the work themselves. Many of our Realtor Partners offer a home staging consultation by Moving Mountains Design as part of their listing package.
