short hills: Prepare Your "House For Sell" in NJ with Staging ~ Part 3 Dining Rooms - 08/17/09 09:53 AM
[Disclaimer - "House for Sell" is being used as an experiment.  According to keyword research, that phrase get 3x the traffic that House for Sale does.  No idea why, but thought I'd try it for this challenge.]

short hills: RESA-nj: Can a Stager stage their own home? - 01/26/09 11:49 AM
The January meeting of RESAnj was held at a house for sale.
We conducted our meeting -- essentially a marketing mastermind where everyone gets 10 minutes each for the group to focus and brainstorm on their specific business -- in the standard way.  2 hours of work, with snack and fellowship!  I couldn't find my US flag, but we faced the neighboring school and reckon that we honored RESA's Rules of Order just fine.
We journeyed around the table, trying desperately to stick to 10 minutes per person and lastly got to me.
"I'd like your opinion on this house.  It's … (14 comments)

short hills: When Non Stagers "stage" - - 09/09/07 07:55 AM
When owners and realtors believe they can save a seller money by not using a stager but deploying staging principles, here is the result.  My guess is that the "principles" were read about online, not from a seasoned staging practitioner.
The pictures, and what you see in them, tell you a lot about the home don't they?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 (I don't know whose listing this is - it was sent to me this morning.  I just know it's in Short Hills, listed at $729,000 and has been on the market for 50 days)
What are the tactics, what is the overriding message about staging/merchandising a home … (38 comments)

short hills: Why stage? Because in NJ, you have to - now. - 08/16/07 09:09 PM
For those of us sitting in the New Jersey suburbs of Metro New York, on the Midtown Direct train line, location was the one and only thing that really mattered when selling a home.  Price was always high, and if you didn't buy today then by tomorrow, a similar home would cost even more.  Location was a secondary factor for most, once you got past main roads and corners.  As to condition? The majority of buyers expected to redo kitchens and baths. 
This climate is no more.  Prices are still moving up, though at a much slower pace, and location is now a … (27 comments)

short hills: Fun Starter Home - 08/15/07 09:01 PM
I've just started staging homes for sale in Summit, NJ.  It's the next town over from me in Short Hills, bigger, more varied, and plenty desirable thanks to direct, non-stop train service to Midtown Manhattan.
Here's is today's project on a busy road, next to a hospital.
It's a pretty vacant home that has been mostly renovated, and painted with the Pottery Barn - Benjamin Moore color palette.  Waaaay too much yellow for me, I fear.  If people are going to keep this up, I'll have to change my inventory!  Can I bear to part with all of my blue and white?
I confess to … (11 comments)
