Why Should You Stage?
Thoroughly preparing your house for sale makes a great first impression
on prospective buyers!
The message buyers receive is "this house won't be on the
market long, if we want it, we had better put an offer in NOW!"
Makes buyers want to move in, not on.
Prospective buyers make a decision within a few seconds of walking
through your front door. They will spend the rest of the tour confirming
their impression whether it is favourable or not. It is important to
appeal to the widest range of people previewing your house, buyers
need to be able to imagine themselves living in your house, because
buyers only know what they see not the way it is going to be. A property needs to be presented in a very different way than how you live in it.
It doesn't matter why you are selling the house, it needs to be marketed
as a product. If your product is damaged, or doesn't meet the standards of other
products being sold for the same price, then your product will sit
on the shelf until the "clearance sale". Think of your house as a product and like any other product it needs to be presented in good condition, well packaged, it's benefits highlighted and distractions minimized.
How you present your home determines how long your house will
sit on the market, and how much money you will make from it.
Why Should Realtors, Homeowners
and Builders Stage?
When Realtors Stage® they:
- Sell listings faster and for more money.
- Build a reputation for showing the best houses, and selling
them FAST without price reductions.
- Learn to convince all their sellers to prepare their home for
selling.
- Have an advantage over competing houses on the market in the
same price range.
- Have beautiful photos for print and internet advertising, creating
more traffic at showings and thus receiving more offers.
- Let home inspectors and appraisers know that the home is taken
care of, to receive positive evaluations which will result in
higher offers.
- Show the home owner that you go above and beyond the normal
listing procedures, creating the opportunity for their client
testimonials and instant referrals to friends and family.
When Homeowners Stage® they:
- Sell their homes faster while securing the equity in their
home
- Find Realtors like a prepared house and will end up with more
showings, more traffic and more offers.
- Can market their home for less money, when the home sells faster
the advertising investments are lower.
- Reduce the stress of getting their home on the market
- Eliminate price reductions and buyers who chip away at the asking
price
When Builders Stage® they:
- Receive their initial investment and more profit quicker, turning
assets into cash.
- Show a buyer the functions of the rooms they have built,
- Help buyers mentally move into their home. Buyers only know
what they see, not the way it was going to be.
The investment of time, effort & dollars to get a property fully ready for sale usually is less than reducing the price on your home after it sits for a few weeks or months.
