We went from just considering listing our home for sale to finding a new house and getting ours on the market and sold in about a month. The entire process happened so quickly but wouldn’t have been possible without an awesome team rallying around us. When we found a home we wanted to purchase, the owners accepted our offer if we had our home listed in less than a week and sold within 30 days. Although it sounded absolutely undoable, we went into a crazy rush to get our house listed for sale and before we knew it, we had sold our home 5 days later and closed by the end of the month. Days before our home was to be photographed for our sale listing I went to the Tech Me Out to the Ballgame Phoenix conference. Because you know, I just like to fill my schedule up until it’s overflowing during my most busiest and chaotic times. In all seriousness though, I learned and networked with some favorite local influencers and businesses. Karin from God’s Garden Treasures in Phoenix, Arizona and I instantly connected and I left the conference looking forward to following up to fill our home with complimentary fresh flowers for our very first, and only, open house. My home selling tips include staging with fresh flowers because it made such a great impact on the appearance of our home and we ended up selling very quickly.
God’s Garden Treasures provides fresh flowers and floral arrangements for all occasions including weddings, corporate gifts, personal deliveries, sympathy and like for us, home staging. I browsed the site and had a personal consultation with Karin so she was familiar with our home. Staging children’s bedrooms along with our entire home meant we had removed all personal photos and clutter. Our walls were mostly empty space and I’ve never seen our home look more clean. It was stunning but definitely lacked personalization. We had throw pillows, matching furniture and color themes but to me, our home just felt cold. God’s Garden Treasures gave that warmth back to our home with colorful flowers and also had every room smelling amazing for our open house. Flowers were delivered the evening before our home listing photos were completed and the next day they were still beautifully blooming for the open house. By Monday we had accepted an offer and couldn’t believe how fast our home sold.
We chose to place flowers all throughout the home. Because we were hoping to only use the flowers for a short time, God’s Garden Flowers provided rental vases. The delivery arrived by courier and I chose to return the vases myself to the flower shop and warehouse in Phoenix.
Our entire family appreciated the beautiful color added to our home. Although we were all exhausted from the busy schedule, little sister snuck in plenty of naps with a great view of the pretty flowers.
When staging your home and considering adding fresh flowers, don’t hesitate to add to every room including the bathrooms, offices, bedrooms and all living areas.
We loved our home greatly and are so excited to have sold it to a wonderful family that will love it as much as we did. So many years and great memories were spent there and adding that warmth to really share what “home sweet home” meant to us with God’s Garden Treasures felt wonderful.
Flowers can be ordered with same day delivery from the “on the run” collection. The entire team is able to discuss your needs and visions to make sure you have an incredible experience. With stellar customer service and the best design team, God’s Garden Treasures in Phoenix, Arizona will not be a one stop shop experience and you’ll definitely go back for all your future floral needs.

There’s no doubt that flowers add life to our homes. I love the tips and the flower choices in this post! It’s really going to make your house look more welcoming and warm.
Those flowers are beautiful! We plan on selling our home in a few years, and I have always loved staging and always thought it really helps with selling a home.
It is so amazing how taking personalized items out of a home changes the enter feel. I love having fresh flowers in the house! Congrats on selling your home and your new adventure!
My husband was laid off from his job a few weeks ago. He has been applying to jobs here, but also out of state, because we are totally open to moving. These are some great tips in case we end up selling our home.
Fresh flowers give such a homey feeling. They make the home look lived in and taken care of as well.
You are so lucky that things went that quickly. I know of people who have to have their houses clean and ready on a moment’s notice for months.
I always try to keep fresh flowers in my house, they’re so beautiful and really help the house feel like home!
i love how you used the fresh flowers to illuminate the unique qualities of each room -i think having fresh flowers in the home is such a great way to bring nature indoors!
Such a great idea and such pretty arrangements. I think it brings a freshness to the house.
Fresh flowers do add so much. My mom used to be a real estate agent when I was a kid. Staging a home really is so important. It’s amazing to think you buy a home because of how it is staged, but that really can determine whether you decide to buy or not. Fascinating stuff.
Nothing like flowers to brighten up a room and make it look more cozy! I think these are wonderful tips!
My sister is an interior designer and she swears by the use of props to style a property for sale. Flowers are definitely one of her go-to items!
Such great tips! We are currently renting but think these are wonderful tips. I can’t wait for us to own our own home and hopefully if we one day sell it these tips will come in handy!
I love the way you guys styled everything. It’s very inviting. Some stagers make things looks too clinical for my liking, but this is great
I think the flowers add humanity to a business deal. It’s pretty and inviting. The essence of home staging should be to invite someone into a space and flowers accomplishes this quite easily. Great reminder.
