Featured New Listing with Home Staging – 816 Ashe Street
As promised in our November newsletter, we are featuring a staged home by Grant Home Staging Services and listed with Royal Palms Realty. We wanted to show you what a difference it makes in the competitive market of real-estate to present your home in the absolute best light possible. Our goal, and hopefully yours, is to outshine the competition and to get what you know your property is worth.
The property on Ashe Street is a charming gem located in Old Town. It features coveted Dade County Pine throughout, off-street parking, a lovely balcony, three bedrooms, oversized windows and a large kitchen. The location is perfect for Island living, walking distance to all of the main attractions, the best restaurants yet in a quiet, friendly neighborhood. It served the owner well as a family home and then rental property for many years.
The last tenants moved out leaving behind a legacy of odd pieces of furniture, old curtains and a few years of dust. We could see the potential before we even started the cleanup. Removal of the old furnishings, curtains and appliances, and a thorough cleaning was the first course of action. We made the home sparkle before we placed the new furnishings and made the home move-in ready.
To view the amazing transformation, please check out the before and after videos and photos below.
Pictures are worth a thousand words so take a look for yourself.

A reminder of the benefits of Home Staging:
FACT: Staged homes sell 73% faster than “as is” homes.*
- Professionally staged homes present and show better than competing houses for sale, including new construction homes and higher-priced houses.
- Staged properties can increase the number of offers and selling price in hot markets.
- Buyers view professionally staged listings as “well-maintained’.
- Buyers’ agents recognize that professionally staged listings are “move-in” ready and are inclined to show staged properties.
- Photos of professionally staged listings look better on the MLS, as well as in print.
- Professionally staged listings “STAND-OUT” in prospective buyers’ minds.
Home staging is the least expensive way to outdistance the competition when selling your home and typically much cheaper than a price reduction. We repeatedly see owners drop the selling price of their home anywhere from $10K up to as much as $100K without even considering the benefits of staging. We were able to transform this gem for just under $5K, far less than what many owners leave on the table.
Call us for a risk free consultation. Our consultation fee is deducted from our staging fee if you hire us to complete the job. If you decide not to use our services we still leave you with a wealth of information you can use to stage your home on your own.
