real estate: The house just won't SELL! - 01/20/08 02:33 PM
There are many factors to consider when a house is not selling.  But before you reduce the price of the home the first time you should consider bringing in an expert to give a critique of the home from curbside, throughout the home and including the back yard.
Our company has such services as do other staging companies.  I can tell you from experience that 9 out 10 times there are things that can be done to help make a connection to the new homeowner.  Don't underestimate the value of this service.

real estate: Does the home have curbside appeal? - 01/20/08 02:27 PM
It frequently happens that if buyers do not like the appearance of a property at curbside, they will often refuse to even look inside.  So it is crucial that sellers have a detailed strategy for showcasing their property.
The yard needs to be groomed, the path leading up to the front door needs to welcoming and the front door and porch area needs to be clean.  These are just the basics.  If the paint on the door is tired get it painted and add some flowers in a few pots to add some color. Remove any smoking chairs and any "extra: things from the … (0 comments)

real estate: Who pays for staging..homeowner or Realtor? - 10/13/07 02:56 PM
We have the largest staging company in Reno so we provide a higher level of service and products than most other staging companies.  We own all of the furnishings and accessories and we have a lot of them.  And it's our product that always makes a house beautiful and unique.
So after you decide that you are going to stage who will pay for it?  I would say that about 70% of the time the homeowner pays for the service.  After we build a relationship with a Realtor we find that they want every house staged because they see the benefit and they pay for … (0 comments)

real estate: Staging...is it here to stay? - 10/13/07 02:47 PM
Staging is not a new concept. It has been around since the early 90's but like everything it takes an idea to travel around awhile before everyone catches the concept and can see the value.
HGTV was the wild fire for establishing the staging concept.  They informed their viewers about this innovative concept of presenting the home completing ready to the future homeowners.  By de-cluttering, de-personalizing, reshaping the existing furniture or adding a complete home of furniture to fit the home it helps to establish an excitement and a connection to the new homeowner. 
Staging is not going to go away any time soon, so … (0 comments)

real estate: Is STAGING a part of your marketing? - 10/13/07 01:46 PM
We can all agree that selling a house is all about the marketing efforts that the Realtor puts into the selling process.
I often speak to Realtors that don't believe in staging or really pressing the seller to do much of anything to get the home ready to sell. I don't understand why. We have so much data that shows that preparing the home and staging sells the home faster and often for more money.
I think Realtors have a catch 22 situation- first they want to list the home so they tell the homeowner what a great home they have and after they have signed the … (0 comments)

But why wait until the … (0 comments)

real estate: Tip for when you lock your keys in the car - 06/08/07 11:38 AM
Does your car have a remote key-less entry? If you lock your keys in the car and a spare key-less entry to your car at home, call someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone.  Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, hold it near the mobile phone on their end.  Your car will unlock and distance is no object.  You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other "remote" for your car, you can … (1 comments)

real estate: Staging...is it here to stay? - 05/11/07 03:03 PM
Did you know that staging has been around since the early 90's. But back then it was used in limited settings and for more high end homes. It's taken a lot of years to get where staging is a marketing tool that is used by savvy Realtors and homeowners to sell homes. .
HGTV in the last few years have targeted the home improvement market. They have done a great job of educating the public what and how staging works.  Staging can be done to both vacant and occupied homes however the staging for each are very different.  A home without furniture often lacks interest and … (3 comments)

real estate: Staging...ask some questions - 05/07/07 04:31 PM
Staging is all about creating a connection with the future homeowner.  When you are hiring a staging company be sure to interview and find out what types of products and services they provide.
How long have they been staging
What is their background in design
What kind of staging(vacant, occupied) do they provide?
Do they own any furniture? or will you have to rent from a corporate leasing company, this can be very expensive
Do they have a website that you can see before and afters and learn about their company
Do they have homes that you can look at  in person
Will they be able to provide … (0 comments)
