As a REALTOR/Staging Specialist with Keller Williams Realty Brainerd Lakes, my listings are all staged.  My listings are selling and selling fast.  They are bringing close to the asking price and others are wondering why? I hear the statement that "price will overcome all objections" out of seasoned agents. While probably true, is that in the best interest of your clients?  How low can they go?  Many things can be done to enhance the desirability of a property that cost nothing.  They are moving - why not prepack?  Most of us can live with much less than we do.   After all look at the number of people who go camping each year, it can be very freeing.

     Yes moving is inconvenient, so is making repairs that have been put off for years.  Cleaning is inconvenient - get over it!  Once the property is prepared, keeping it up is very simple.  I show them tips and techniques to get out of the house fast for showings and still leave it in showing condition. My sellers are motivated to move- they make small protests but in the end after multiple explanantions - they get it and go with it.

    Here is my latest - send me more!
