CSD HOME STAGING-K.Hubert: February 2009

You will laugh until you realize you had to sell or Stage a house just like this

 

Via Michelle Finnamore (Advantage Staging - Preparing your property for sale.):

Thought everyone could use a mini lesson in colour today.

This website has stories about interior indiscretions that will make you wonder what the homeowners were thinking when they put their home on the market.

We have all been there-either as a Realtor or as a Home Stager.

Trying to market a house that has been painted entirely in burnt orange.

Or every surface has been painted shades of green or blue or purple.

When you are selling your home, loud vibrant colours will not market your property to the most people.

How many homes have you seen with bright orange walls everywhere?

That's exactly the same number of buyers you will attract to your property for sale.

I tactfully suggest to my clients that a neutral colour will attract more buyers when they are looking online at listing photos.

Not to mention shorten the number of days on market.

When buyers leave a property painted like this, all they are talking about is the bright orange paint throughout the main floor living area. They miss the features of the property entirely. Advantage Staging will motivate your client to make the necessary changes to get the property on the "must see list" of buyers.

Investment, minimal.

Impact, Priceless.

Advantage Staging will give your property an advantage in the marketplace everytime.

What realtors are saying about Home Staging!

Real estate agents are saying a lot about home staging these days as it grows more and more popular as a necessary means of getting a property SOLD in a saturated market or any market for that matter.

What they are saying?

"Would you choose to spend $100.00 on gas when clearly it will take $200.00 to get where you need to go? Then why wouldn't you do what is necessary to get your property SOLD?"

"If you can help a homebuyer visualize a property, I think you are really helping him/her."

"Folks who resist will have to take longer to sell especially in a saturated market."

"one thing for me is non-negotiable, is a staging appointment, we love our stager."

"selling the value of staging presents it's own challenges, however, I feel it is our duty as trusted advisors."

"It makes a huge difference in how the house shows but also how it looks in on-line photos."
