I just read some interesting info on another blog. (http://activerain.com/blogsview/1024528/Would-You-Pay-More-To-Sell-Your-House) Something about sellers being willing to pay higher commissions or bonuses to agents to ensure that their house gets more showings. I really am being very objective when the question popped into my head..."Why would someone pay a higher real estate commission when a less costly investment in professional staging would yield better results for showings, better results for DOM and better results for selling price???" Perhaps because a) Sellers are being convinced by some agents that paying more for your agent gets you a better salesperson, or b) sellers still don't have enough information available to them about the value of professional home staging, or c) agents don't have enough knowledge about the proven success of home staging to be able to use it often and effectively in their marketing plans, or d) All of the above.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Jamal Malik has done it again! The correct answer, for 20 million rupees, is...D-All of the above.!"
The final million dollar question remains...How can we professional stagers improve the knowledge base of consumers and agents to use the very effective tool of home staging?
