real estate staging reno: Who pays for Staging- Realtor or Homeowner
- 09/26/08 01:35 AM
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 benefits and then they pay for the staging or share the cost with the seller. We encourage Realtors to have the client pay for the service up front and then reimburse the seller 50-100% on closing. This becomes a win-win for both the seller and agent because they save money on marketing because … (4 comments)
real estate staging reno: Color is pure magic! It can make or break a deal when selling a house.
- 09/26/08 01:16 AM
I'm sure you have heard from buyers that they hate the "color" of the room or house. Why can't they just see past the color? Why can't they see how great the house could be if they just painted it themselves? Why even try and figure it out...they just can't . So make sure you have your sellers paint all areas that are dirty, bright or odd colors to in a warm neutral color. A color expert is your best bet when making color suggestions. The investment of fresh paint will pay off in more ways than one..how about more money … (0 comments)
real estate staging reno: Can a buyer see past the clutter?
- 09/26/08 01:10 AM
Answer: Probably not and the house will probably fall under the fixer up category. When we are called to do a report for the realtor and homeowner on how to get the home ready for sale we often see a dirty home. This doesn't mean necessarily that the house is cluttered it can just be dirty. We recommend that if you want to list this house you better plan to pay for an outside service to come into the home and put the sparkle back into the home. But don't stop there make sure just like a gardner for a yard be … (0 comments)

Do you sometimes feel uncomfortable talking to the seller about the current home condition?Need I tell you the answer was YES to all of them. What an opportunity!

real estate staging reno: Before you sell add the sparkle to the home
- 01/27/08 01:13 PM
Before you sell add some sparkle Adding the sparkle to any home is important. In this case I am talking about the lighting throughout the home. This not only includes the electrical lighting but also the light that comes from the windows. Make sure that all the light bulbs are working and are the proper wattage so that the room is properly illuminated. In addition make sure all the windows throughout the home have been professionally cleaned inside and out. This will make a HUGE difference in allowing natural light to flood the room. Having natural light coming into the room will create a mood that can … (2 comments)

real estate staging reno: Why stage a VACANT house?
- 01/27/08 03:06 AM
Within seconds of walking into a house, prospective buyers form an impression and know whether they want to buy the house or not. That is why staging a vacant home is critical. A empty home has a harder time presenting the personality of the home but be guaranteed it will show every flaw that the home has! I call it the naked house syndrome. Everything is exposed -tired or stained carpet/flooring, cracks, chipped counter-tops, inexpensive lighting, worn paint, bad or no window treatments- need I say more? You've seen it too many times! In addition you've heard the buyer say how will my … (1 comments)
