One of my best friends is a Chef in Chicago, and I am always joking with him about people who like to order "Off the Menu", as in dreaming up their own version of a meal not on the menu. It is one of his biggest gripes when we talk shop. My favorite happened just recently when he took a position with a great Italian Restaurant selling Carpaccio which is razor thin slices of raw beef. I congratulated him on his new gig, and told him to prepare a triple order, Medium Well, for me, and I'd be right over. [***Rimshot***]
As consumers we have so many choices today for our purchases: Retail Chains, Local Shops, and a bazillion other options on the Internet. Consumers probably spend more time than ever shopping and comparing on the Interent when looking for just the right item. If they do not see exactly what they want, they move on...
When it comes to Home Staging, every house presents a different set of challenges, whether it is Color, Clutter, or the hardest obstacle to overcome: the Opposed Home Owner. Not every home is going to need Furnishings. Nor will every home need Artwork and Accents. But odds are every home going to market will need some help from an unbiased third party. [It could be argued that Home Stagers are Completely Biased, but that's another Blog...]
Out of nowhere the other day, I was remembering an old commercial for Burger King... "Hold the pickles, Hold the Lettuce... Special Orders don't upset us..." Here's a link to one of the commercials on YouTube.
This reminded me of one of the primary points of The Stage Coach's Service Offering: I believe in customizing the service to the home or listing. If you do not see the type of service you are looking for on our "Menu of Home Staging Services", just ask! Feel free to "Order Off the Menu"! We can combine offerings for a specific house, or help Real Estate Agents create a basic blanket service to offer all of their listings. Our Menu is a just compilation of commonly used services - it would take a book to cover every thing we can help owners do to prepare their homes for sale.
If would like to receive a copy of The Stage Coach's Menu of Home Staging Services, just contact me via your preferred method. I'm easy to find on the Internet.
