Spruce Home Staging, a division of Ocean Atlantic Sotheby’s International Realty, recently completed a beach home transformation in preparation for listing the home for sale. Lisa Barros, the listing agent for the Cape Shores home, worked with the homeowners and Spruce to completely freshen and transform all the indoor and outdoor living spaces at the residence.
“The homeowners decided that staging their property was very important to properly showcase both the home and the incredible views of the bay,” said Jack Kofoed of Spruce Home Staging. “We collaborated closely with them to offer advice on hardwood floor staining and paint colors, then provided hands-on assistance with decluttering, freshening, and bringing in furnishings and accessories.”
The home was truly transformed through these changes, in the span of three weeks, and now showcases the stunning views and interior finishes beautifully. “We truly feel that these sort of home improvements, with minimum investment, position the property to appeal to the widest pool of prospective buyers and ultimately sell for the best price,” said Sue Knowles of Spruce Home Staging.
After the home staging was complete, Lisa Barros hosted an Open House event Aug. 8 at the property. Working with Liz Carter, co-owner of Passionista Fashion Truck, Delaware’s first boutique on wheels, Barros put together a cocktail party open house with the fashion business parked at the property. Interested neighbors, clients, and prospective buyers were able to tour the newly freshened property, enjoy appetizers, and shop in Passionista’s decked-out fashion truck. Over 80 people came through, marking one of Barros’ most successful open house events to date.
“We feel it is so important for our clients to have the benefit of a staging professional’s advice before their home is listed,” said Justin Healy, OASIR broker. “In addition, our goal is to successfully showcase and sell homes with creative, innovative marketing ideas and personalized strategies. Selling your home really can be an enjoyable experience!”
