SOLD OVER LIST PRICE CLUB

RESA Sold Over List Price Club – Property of the Year

Winner

Bright, modern staged living room with neutral furniture, blue accent pillows, and a woven coffee table. Large windows and glass doors open to a balcony with ocean-view seating. Staged by House Candy Home for a Santa Cruz listing that sold over $1 million above asking.

Let me know if you want a more minimal version or one focused purely on design elements.

House Candy Home

E Cliff Dr, Santa Cruz, CA
Sold for: $4,450,000
Listed at: $3,398,000
Sale-to-List Ratio: 130.96%
Sold for $1,052,000 over list
Return on Staging Investment: 46,472%

The property was listed for about a week with an offer day strategy that paid off big. The listing agents, The O’Halloran Group, invested in staging by partnering with House Candy Home and covering the cost of bedding, pillows, and accessories. These items were purchased and delivered ahead of time, allowing the stager to create a cohesive, elevated look — and giving the seller the added benefit of keeping everything after the sale.

This collaboration between agent and stager shows just how impactful it is when everyone is aligned on presentation and strategy — a win for the seller, the stager, and the listing team.

2020 Professional Home Stager of the Year

Anne Kenney

After investing in real estate and achieving superior results from staging and selling her own properties, Anne was encouraged by  real estate colleagues to follow the staging path. Going straight to the source, she studied with and became accredited by the developer of the staging industry in CA. Anne returned to NYC when staging was still very much in its infancy, and made the rounds to real estate firms and associations and media outlets, educating brokers and sellers. Together they participated in the growth of this exciting new industry.
