HOME STAGING A WAY TO REDUCE DAYS-ON-MARKET


Home staging is the one of the best proven methods of reducing the DOM (days on market). All too often I go into a property and the property is not "showcase" ready. There are personal use items spread out on the bathroom vanities, toys and lawn items carelessly left throughout the yard, overflowing closets, too much furniture, collectibles everywhere and laundry rooms full.  This is not putting your property's best foot forward.  You have about 6 seconds to make a good
first impression and the first impression is the lasting impression.  As the potential home purchaser views your property, where do you suppose they are looking?  They can't help it, they are looking and thinking about your stuff and when they get home and begin talking about the properties they have seen that day, they will attach a descriptive phrase to remember your property.  What do you want that phrase to be?  Do you want them to say "you know the one with all the toys in the yard" or do you want them to say "you know the one with the great backyard?".  You live in your house one way, we all do, we market our property another way.  Home staging services whether they be in the form of a consultation or actual staging will help you to objectively prepare for a competitive housing market.  A professional home stager will help you go from dweller to seller through organization, furniture  and accessory placement and in some cases recommend minor repairs or updating.  They may suggest painting to "freshen" up the presentation of the property. At "911 Sell Our House" ( www.911Sellourhouse.com ) our goals are clear:  keeping the cost as low as possible, reducing the days on market and most importantly A SALE.  "911 SELL OUR HOUSE" looks forward to collaborating with you and your Real Estate Agent regarding preparing your property for sale.  Remember, home staging typically will cost you less than your first price reduction. What do you have to lose?   

Warm Regards,

Julian, this is perhaps the most concise explanation of the importance of staging a home for sale and one of the best. Sellers will do well to use your services, either through their Realtor or directly to you. Well done!

Excellent article Julian! I hear my clients say things about the homes I inspect for them. Preparing a home for viewing can not only help with selling faster it will also add perceived value to potential buyers. Great job.
