We all know the following;

• A Staged home sells faster than a non-staged home.
• A Staged home sells at a higher price than a non-staged home.
• Home Staging will result in the home selling faster and for more money than un-Staged Homes.

There are enough stagers on this site, that if you shook a tree 10 of them would fall out, we know the obvious benefits of staging a home, however I consider the following as additional benefits

Home Staging is a potent marketing tool.

Someone else is telling the client that their home needs work before it is listed for sale.

I offer a Home Staging Consultation to my clients as a great way to differentiate myself in the marketplace. 

The investment your client makes in Home Staging is less than their first price reduction!.

Stagers and Realtors, sitting in a tree....A good agent, plus a good stager, how can the client go wrong with a team like that.

In the past, when you worked with an agent to find a home, the agent almost always was employed by the seller. That meant that while you and the agent may have worked closely together, he or she had a fiduciary responsibility to always act in the best interest of the seller. Now you can put the agent squarely and exclusively in your corner.

I can offer you the opportunity to have your own Buyer's Consultant. The concept is relatively new, extremely popular, and could save you thousands of dollars. I would be pleased to serve you in that capacity. That would mean we would enter into an agreement, become YOUR agent and work diligently to find your perfect home. I would be responsible only to you - not the seller. Under this relationship, we will be able to do all of the things listed below under buyer Agent.

Please Note: Real Estate fees are set with the builder/seller at the time the home enters the market. Therefore, when you work with an on-site agent, the builder/seller has already agreed to pay the fees for buyer's representation. If you do not exercise your right of buyer representation, you are leaving much of your advantage unused. When you work with Deb Oldfield, there is never a charge for this service!

This comparison clearly demonstrates the value of the dedicated Buyer's Specialist representing the buyer, over the Seller Agent, who represents the seller only.
