944 N Stanley Ave #2 — From Blank Canvas to Full-Price Sale in 10 Days
01 · The Situation
Where this started.
This West Hollywood condo went from minimalist “function only” to magazine-ready in a flash. With zero greenery and a purely utilitarian setup, the space needed warmth and visual depth for top-tier marketing photos. By layering in $200 worth of rugs and faux plants, borrowing neutral accents from a personal collection, and making a few strategic furniture tweaks, we transformed a sparse shell into an inviting showcase. The result? A full-price offer in just 10 days—and the perfect bridge to the seller’s dream single-family home.
-
Contemplated selling for three years to transition into a single-family home
-
Flexible timing: willing to rent seasonally until his next purchase
-
Opportunity knock: a dream single-family listing hit the market just as we were prepping Stanley
- Seller didn’t need proceeds to buy but leveraged the sale for a superior loan product
02 · The Challenge
What made it complicated.
-
Owner’s minimalist setup was function-first and photo-second, with zero greenery or styling props
-
Despite impeccable taste, the space lacked visual warmth and depth for marketing photos
03 · What Pardee Did
-
We curated $200 worth of small-scale décor: rugs, budget-friendly faux trees, and an abundance of faux plants
-
Lent from personal stash: neutral-tone pillows, art pieces, and more lush greenery
-
Strategic furniture tweaks: moved the dresser and TV out of the guest room closet, re-oriented the primary bed rug, and removed extra chairs in the primary suite to spotlight room size and balcony views
04 · The Result
-
Secured sellers new dream home in a multiple‐offer scenario
-
Achieved a full-price sale of 944 N Stanley Ave #2 at $1,249,000
-
Went under contract in just 10 days
-
Negotiated a rent-back (RLAS) so they could close on the new home and move directly without interim storage or housing
By coordinating the sale of 944 N Stanley Ave #2 with the purchase of the seller’s next home, we maximized his financing options and eliminated any downtime between moves. The full-price sale closed before his new purchase, yet with a seamless rent-back in place, he walked straight from one set of keys to the next without skipping a beat. Another win for thoughtful staging, proactive planning, and making even the most minimalist spaces feel undeniably like home.
