Last week I posted the blog about a Full Service Staging project that we worked on for four months and launched to very good reviews.   http://activerain.com/blogsview/1090497/months-and-months-of-work-but-worth-it- The owner was very happy with the results and the reviews were very very good.

We received word today that the house has already gone PENDING! Just 6 days.

Yes, that is very good news - in this market - really good news as that was quick. BUT here is the real story.

This home four months ago was not the home you see today by any means. We completely transformed the entire property from head to toe. The only thing we didn't change was the roof and foundation.  It was in sad shape when the owner purchased it and yes he invested some good money in it, but when it was done he priced it higher than anything in the neighborhood and 6 days later it went PENDING!

Some of the Agents who were on broker tour last week had seen it when it was on the market four months ago before we started the work. They walked into the home on broker tour last week and almost feel over.

One agent who had shown the house prior to my client buying it actually brought a client back that had seen it then and bought another house (for good reason) because he couldn't believe it was the same house.

Yes, houses are still SELLING! Yes, you must listen to your professional stager and do everything needed to prepare the home for market. Yes, staging sells STILL! The proof is right here http://activerain.com/blogsview/1090497/months-and-months-of-work-but-worth-it-
