RESA Sold Over List Price Club Staging by Green Couch

What the Sold Over List Price Club Represents

The Sold Over List Price Club was created to bring clarity, credibility, and consistency to conversations around staging performance. In an industry where results are often discussed anecdotally, this program establishes a documented framework for recognizing outcomes that can be reviewed, verified, and understood within the context of each local market.

What the Club Is

Based on verified listing data. All qualifying properties must include documentation confirming list price and final sold price using MLS data, MLS-fed public platforms, or written agent verification.
Built to help stagers understand their numbers and track performance consistently. Participation provides documented results you can stand behind in marketing and listing conversations.
The exclusive entry point for Sold Over List Price award consideration. Recognition at the RESACON® awards ceremony is drawn from qualifying submissions to this program.

What the Club Is Not

Not a guarantee of causation. The club does not claim that staging alone caused a sale to go over list price, but rather acknowledges outcomes achieved through preparation, strategy, and market positioning.
Not for stagers who are not ready to engage with performance data. Participation requires documentation, transparency, and a commitment to measurable outcomes.

Why Stagers Submit

Most staging companies are doing strong work. Fewer are documenting outcomes in a way that can be clearly communicated, referenced, and recognized. The Sold Over List Price Club exists to close that gap by turning results into documented proof.

To document real performance

Submitting allows you to move beyond anecdotal success and establish a documented record of outcomes tied to your staging work. Each property that qualifies will receive a unique logo.

To strengthen marketing conversations

Verified results give you numbers you can reference confidently when speaking with agents, sellers, and partners about why your services work.

To be eligible for recognition

Submission is the only way to be considered for Sold Over List Price recognition, a chance to make the quarterly leaderboard, special visibility on the find a stager directory, a chance to win a RESA Award at RESACON and visibility through RESA® National.

What You Need to Submit a listing

Submitting is straightforward, but documentation matters. The Sold Over List Price Club is built on verified outcomes, which means each qualifying submission must include proof of the list price and sold price, along with clear context on the staging services provided.

Required Documentation

Verification of the list price and final sold price
Provide a screenshot from the MLS or a public platform that pulls directly from MLS data (examples include Zillow, Redfin, or Realtor.com).
OR submit a signed letter from the listing agent on company letterhead confirming list price and final sold price (digital copy is fine).
Your staging fee for the project
Report the fee based on the first 60 days of service.
A brief description of the services performed
Examples: vacant staging, partial furniture rental, occupied staging using the homeowner’s items, paint consultation, or a combination of services.

Clear documentation keeps recognition credible and protects the integrity of the program for every member.

Optional materials for additional visibility
Additional photos or project details may be submitted for potential inclusion in RESA® blogs, website features, or media opportunities. This is optional and separate from qualification requirements.

1Gather your proof

Save your list and sold price verification, confirm your fee for the first 60 days, and write a short description of what you actually provided on the project.

2Submit through the member form

Submissions are completed through the Members Only submission form on this page. You will upload your documentation and provide the project details.

3Receive recognition if approved

Once your submission is reviewed and approved, you will receive the appropriate logo level and be eligible for additional recognition tied to this program.

Tip: Keep a simple folder for each project with a final “sold” screenshot so submitting takes minutes.

Before you submit

Have your proof of list price and sold price ready, confirm your staging fee for the first 60 days of service, and prepare a short description of the services performed. This keeps review fast and ensures recognition stays credible.

How Often You Can Submit

There is no limit to how many qualifying listings you may submit. Each staged property is reviewed independently based on its own documentation and results. If you consistently deliver measurable outcomes, you are encouraged to submit each qualifying project. The Sold Over List Price Club is designed to recognize ongoing performance, not one-time wins.

This occupied staging project focused on positioning a small apartment for an upscale neighborhood of young, professional families. The goal was not to replace what already worked, but to elevate it strategically.

The project began with a pre-listing Walk & Talk consultation to identify opportunities for improvement before the home ever hit the market. The homeowners already had strong foundational pieces, so the staging approach centered on refining scale, flow, and visual cohesion rather than a full overhaul.

Occupied staging was completed using a thoughtful mix of the homeowner’s existing furnishings and select items provided by the stager to add polish and balance. Paint recommendations were provided to modernize and unify the space, and small but impactful fixture updates, including lighting and cabinet hardware, were implemented to create a more current, market-ready feel.

The seller was thrilled with both the sale price and the speed of the sale, reinforcing how strategic preparation and informed staging decisions can drive measurable outcomes.

Sold Over List Price by $105,000 | Hermosa Beach,CA

This charming Southern California bungalow came to market while updates were still in progress, creating a need to list quickly while still presenting the home at its best. Staging played a key role in helping the property feel complete, cohesive, and positioned to attract strong buyer interest.

The staging approach focused on creating flow and emphasizing light. Smaller-scale furniture in neutral finishes was selected to keep rooms feeling open, airy, and balanced, allowing the natural light to remain a focal point. Given the home’s beach-town setting, the design leaned into a relaxed, bright aesthetic that felt fresh, inviting, and appropriate for the location.

In the basement, carefully chosen furniture, a grounding rug, and simple décor defined the area as a second family room. This helped buyers see the basement as an extension of the living space rather than an unfinished area, making its potential immediately clear.

The sellers were thrilled with the outcome. The home received multiple offers over asking price, reinforcing the value of strategic staging in helping buyers connect with both the space and its possibilities.

This vacant staging project began with a collection of unique pieces left behind by the homeowner, each with its own character. Rather than removing them entirely, the staging approach focused on thoughtfully incorporating select items into a cohesive design that felt intentional, polished, and market-ready.

All furniture and accessories were provided by the stager, allowing the space to be fully reimagined while still honoring elements already present in the home. Careful attention was given to scale, balance, and flow to ensure the final presentation felt unified rather than pieced together.

The result was a clean, cohesive staging that elevated the property and helped buyers connect with the space immediately. The homeowner was so impressed with the outcome and the experience that she later shared a detailed five-paragraph, five-star Google review, reflecting both the impact of the staging and the level of service provided throughout the project.

This project serves as a strong example of how professional vacant staging, paired with thoughtful curation, can transform a space and leave a lasting impression well beyond the sale itself.
