35 Comments on Two Questions You Must Answer BEFORE Listing Your House
Wise advice , as always. Don't ever underestimate the value of home staging to add to your chance of quick success in getting your home sold.
Sharon,
You are on a roll lately. Your post are so well written and to the point...A
Sharon, this is such a good post! Sellers seem surprised when I ask them who they will be selling to. After all we stagers like to create a home that will appeal to the right market.
Sharon
Thanks for sharing the marketing tips, they are right on point.
Good luck and success.

Sharon,
Great post and I'm clicking suggest! As a Realtor, I appreciate tips like this. Thank you!
Patricia
Janna: And never underestimate the power of a good stager, LOL!
Alexandra: Thanks for that...I'm not sure how much longer I will riding this roll though, LOL!
Janice: I usually ask the agent what the target market is...they aren't usually as surprised by the question.
Lou: Thank you!
Patricia: Thanks for the suggest! I'm glad you found the post worthy!
Sharon, I find that most that most sellers that I consult with haven't put any thought into who will buy their house. I always ask during the consultation and generally I get very mixed answers. YES folks, knowing this IS important and your Realtor should be able to help you define your market. Good post Sharon!
Ginger: I've had the same experience, the sellers often have no idea who their target buyer is. I've never had an agent tell me they didn't know. A good agent knows the neighborhood and knows which buyers will be interested in it.
Very simple but excellent tips sellers should know! Great post Sharon.
Great top questions. I had to suggest it! Have a great week!
Rebecca: Thank you!
Lydie: I appreciate it, thanks.
Great information Sharon! Understanding the demographics of the likely buyers and catering the appearance of the home to what they want to see is a core part of staging and one of the reasons that staging is so effective in selling a home more quickly. Thanks for the thought provoking questions!
Melissa: Thank you! I know you understand all too well...your "staging to sold" statistics prove that!
Sharon - Targeting the buyer is key, and I like the idea of researching other properties in the same area and price range and offering something they don't have. That makes the house for sale memorable and unique. Great post!
Sally: Thanks! It's very important to be memorable and unique! I just read Peg's post about RainCamp and it appears you have a new raincoat!
Great points all Sharon. Knowing your buyers is where it's at.
(Sorry I'm late to this party <G>) We try to create staging packages that appeal to the braodest selection of potential buyers. But, sometimes we add subtle touches that target a specific demographic. Knowing who the potential buyer might be, can make the difference in our merchandise selection, and that little bit of information can often lead to big results! Yet, another great topic from our friend in New Hampshire!
Ana: Thanks!
Tom: Sometimes just explaining to an older couple that their target buyer is a young family helps them to understand the reasoning behind what we are suggesting they do to prepare for sale. Thanks for stopping by!
Right on the money as usual! Well said Sharon!
Debra: I appreciate it, thanks!
