A couple of weeks before Charleston's Tour of Homes I received a phone call from an agent with a builder client.  They had 4 homes on the tour of homes that he thought could benefit from staging.  We worked a really long week, staging 5 homes that week (some of you may remember those blogs).  A week ago I blogged about moving the furniture for one of them that was under contract & today I found out a second one went under contract on October 25th... We staged them on October 13th! 

Here are the past blogs on these homes... House #3/5... Cute Home in Moncks Corner  &

House #2/5... They're all done now, I'll roll them out one by one....

Something to think about: 

• House #3 went on the market, 04/25/07, was staged on 10/13/07 and under contract on 10/30/07
• House #2 went on the market, 04/25/07, was staged on 10/13/07 and under contract on 10/25/07

We all talk about gathering statistical data to prove to agents that staging DOES work.... What does this say to the builder?  the agent?  do you think these agents talk to other agents?  This is one way we educated consumers on the NEED for staging in the current market...
