The Challenge: A Listing That Struggled to Sell

When 876 Curtis St #1404 first hit the market in July 2024, it seemed like a prime property. However, despite its desirable location in Honolulu, the listing failed to generate buyer interest. After sitting on the market for months with no strong offers, the seller removed it in September.

The feedback was clear: buyers couldn’t visualize the space, and the empty unit lacked the emotional appeal needed to draw in offers.


Our Solution: Staging + Professional Photography

Staged bedroom in a Honolulu high-rise with modern decor and city views.

To reignite buyer interest, the seller relisted the property, but this time, they partnered with OASIS STAGING + DESIGN to transform the space.

  • Created emotional connection: Thoughtful decor and styling helped buyers visualize living in the space.

The Results: Sold in Less Than 60 Days
