I have an adorable listing. It's gotten rave reviews on property tours. Open House comments are highly positive. Agent feedback has been full of praise. But it is still active! The price point was good, but we reduced the price to make a bigger impression. Central Texas is in a drought, yet my client is hand-watering (which is the only legal way) to keep the yard looking semi green. Designer paint, professionally landscaped backyard... we have been scratching our heads on this thinking "what is wrong...".
Called my favorite home stager and we had a one hour appointment today with the owner. New eyes are better than four eyes! In 60 minutes she transformed what we thought was beautiful into something incredible. Bedrooms look twice as big, windows filtering more light inwards, counter tops seem endless. I was shocked and impressed at the same time. What a difference.
An open house next weekend and the property tour again. I'll let you know what the new feedback is... and when we get a contract! But above all, having the Stager really opened up my eyes. My Client was absorbing all she heard and was quick to respond when the Stager said "Let's move this now..." And as a Realtor, it's an excellent idea to have someone else make the strong suggestions while I stay neutral. However, my Stager was quick to refer back to me when the Client didn't answer in a fast enough fashion.
I'm incredibly impressed... more to come....
