Has your home or listing been lingering on the market? I know, I know. I've already said it. You heard lots of others say it. But, it's worth repeating until you get it. Staging sells! And, "staging on steriods" is even better. What is staging on steriods? It's just the moniker I've given to home tending. In addition to staging, the home tender pays utilties, maintains the lawn and keeps the home in showing condition at all times.
Why am I so excited about this concept? Well, we just received a phone call that one of the properties we're tending has received an offer 60 days after the home tender was placed. The propery has been on the market a total of 256 days. Home Tending brings offers!
Turnkey Home Tenders (a service of Renters Choice Realty) will celebrate its first anniversary this month and we are proud of our accomplishments thus far. Here is a recap of what has happened so far in 2011:
Memorial Northwest: Nearly 4,000 sq ft home built in 1979 with 5 bedrooms, both formals, huge gameroom was listed for 9 months. Received an offer 45 days after home tenders placement and staging. Was eventually leased because seller and buyer couldn't agree on terms.
West University: Brand new 3 level, 3 bedroom townhome on the market for nearly 2.5 years received an offer just 20 days after staging and home tender placement.
Richmond Area/Pecan Grove Plantation: Lovely 5 bedroom home with swimming pool on the golf course. Home was listed for 644 days at the time an offer was received. The offer came 62 days after staging and home tender placement.
Huntwicke Forest: Nice Colonial style 5 bedroom home with both formals on huge corner lot. Listed for 256 days, received an offer 60 days after staging and home tender placement.
Selling a home is about pricing and presentation. If you want to sell your home it must be priced right and have a warm, inviting presentation. RCR and Turnkey Home Tenders works together to make sure both of these elements are present to maximize your home's competitive edge in the market. If you are ready to sell call us to discuss how our unique marketing plan can help you achieve your goal.
