Million Dollar House In East Moriches ~ In Contract!

You may recall I wrote a post about a $1.3 million dollar vacant I staged in East Moriches in September of last year.  It had been on the market vacant for over a year and a half.  The broker held an open after the staging, the weekend of September 20th.  I would periodically check our MLS to see if it was still on there and last night it was not!

I sent an e-mail to the realtor asking if it had sold or gone into contract.  She replied this morning that it is in full contract!    

Below are a few of the "before" and "after" pictures from this house:

I believe we had a winning combination here.  The owner who called me in and realized the benefit of home staging, the realtor who also realized the benefits of home staging, marketed it and posted the new pictures right after I forwarded them onto her, and the home staging done by myself.
