It's a nail biting time for most agents right now as they weather the storm of a downtrend in the Real Estate market. For urgent sellers the formula is simple; Price, Picture and of course Presentation.
If the home isn't realistically priced for today's market, you can be sure that you won't have too many visitors. After all it is the price that first attracts potential buyers, more so when there are bargains to be had.
After the price, it is the photograph of the house that further draws buyers and for this reason it is advisable to enlist the help of a professional photographer who can portray the listing in its best light.
Finally, each and every home, no matter what the price point must be presented looking the very best it possible can. Staging the home for resale is NOT about bringing in a truck load of furniture. Decorating is the final step of a long list of tasks that can easily be undertaken by the seller, especially under the guidance of a savvy agent.
To some degree, every home needs to be staged. For this reason, every Real Estate agent should be equipped in the process of staging. Staging is not rocket science. It is an essential and simple process that can easily be learnt.
