Stage-apalooza!
This will be where you will
find the most thorough and up to the
minute
staging
advice for the
Schaumburg
area in the
Northwest
suburbs of Chicago. I
welcome you and hope that you find this a great learning
experience.
What's
the purpose of staging?
Staging your home is not concealing any structural defects.
It is showing your home, with all it's warts and bumps, in
the
best
possible light. It
doesn't add another full bath or add that basement you should have
gotten from the builder. It's taking your home, picturing it
as a
blank
canvas and showing it to
it's best advantage. Not to mention, we don't want it
to cost a lot of money!
I think that
staging
has
become popular because many buyers do not want to see the new home they
are going to purchase in it's current worn out condition. I
really can't blame buyers and I think that some of this feeling comes
from the fact that buyers were forced to take homes in their
less than peak condition
when real
estate prices were at their highest. Now, the tables have
turned
and it's a
buyers
market in this real estate
arena. Buyers do not
want to 'settle' for your 1980's wallpaper that should have been
removed in the 90's. Today's buyers will just move along to
another home that has less work or no work
(updating)
to do at all.
If
you don't think that statement is
true then why are you here?
This is not a new real estate
fad. This is
what the
market has become so I hope
you will embrace it and help your
home to sell.
My goal is to offer the best advice in one location.
Getting
your home ready to sell has
'evolved' to this.

6 Comments on Staging your Schaumburg IL Home to Sell

Staging works and it helps the seller to sell the properly fast and for a higher sale price.
Good luck and success.

You're so right, Lyn. Staging a home is an effective step in marketing a property to SELL. This step should not be skipped for a faster sale at a higher price.
hi Lyn ~ Good tips here for sellers who hope to sell their home! Your statement "This is not a new real estate fad. This is what the market has become so I hope you will embrace it and help your home to sell" is bang on! Sure, in the "old days" staging wasn't the standard ... but times have changed, and how! So many homes to choose from means that buyers really can be picky. They've watched HGTV and they want 'move in ready' for sure. Glad that you're getting the word out to your sellers :-)
Hi Lyn--these are great videos and I so appreciate that ReMax is taking this position for staging to help sellers understand what it takes to really help sell a home in this market.
Maureen: You know that's true from your own business & observations. This is the new norm.
Janet: You need to give your home an advantage.
Lou: Thanks for your input.
Barb: It's disastrous for your bottom line if you do.
Lyn, Good for you! I like the topic and I like the video presentation. You are definitely putting your video embedding skills to work, in a good way. Best wishes always. p.s. I also liked your link: 8 Reasons Why your House Won't Sell and Bookmarked it. It's been RE-BLOGGED 8 times and never FEATURED. It's really good!
