Realtors: Why Work With Home Stagers?

Home Stagers

There are so many good reasons for realtors to work with  Home Stagers but these may be some of the most important ones....

Our goals are the same

This is critical to remember when determining if you should work with Home Stagers.  Realtors and Home Stagers are both looking for a property to sell quickly and for the most money possible.  We are also very aware of how critical buyers can be + what they will likely deduct from their offer if it is not a property in amazing condition.  With those shared goals in mind, the Realtor/Home Stager relationship can be extremely productive and successful for us and our clients. 

Home Stagers can be your advocate with a client

Even if you are comfortable providing feedback about the condition or design of your client's property, it may be difficult for your client to hear it from you.  It may even cause undo tension at the outset of your relationship and affect future referrals.  They are relying on you to sell their property and are often under the impression that you should be able to do that in "as is" condition.  When you have your sellers work with Home Stagers, it provides the sellers with a buyer's perspective + can reinforce with your client what must be done to make the property more marketable.

 Home Stagers can get the property ready to market quickly

How often are you brought in to discuss listing a property and find it stuffed with a lifetime of clutter, in disrepair or covered in wallpaper floor to ceiling?  Perhaps it happens more often than you would like.  If it feels overwhelming to you, imagine what it feels like to that seller.  It can be hard for the seller to know where to start and getting a property like that ready to take pictures and list could take a significant amount of time.  Home Stagers are used to tackling these types of projects and can; therefore, assist the home seller in getting clutter cleared, donated or sold and have updates completed much more quickly than if the seller has to do it on their own.

Home Stagers can make your life easier + free you up to build your business

Today, many realtors recommend decluttering and suggest repairs + updates but do you really want to tell your client that they have to put away their family heirlooms or find a home for their collection of bobblehead dolls?  You also can't possibly be there to tell a client what to do with every last little accessory or piece of furniture.  And, let's be honest, when you spend time doing this, it is time lost for marketing and bringing on new listings.  When you work with Home Stagers, you can let the Stagers worry about getting a property ready for photos and open houses so you can focus on successfully marketing + bringing in new business.

Home Stagers can make you look really good

Your name is ultimately on that sign, not the homeowner's.  Imagine, because you work with Home Stagers, you become known for your immaculate listings, that sell quickly and for the most money possible....
