Fact 1 – any piece of property will sell! No matter what the location, no matter what the condition if the price is low enough the property will sell.

You may want to pay for a bulldozer to take out the one thing that is slowing the sale of your property. But, even if you don’t, it will sell – if the price is right.

You may want to pay someone to bring his machete in to clear a path to your location. But, even if you don’t, it will sell – if the price is right.

You may want to hire a flat bottomed boat to access the property. But, even if you don’t, it will sell – if the price is right.

 

 

 

Fact 2 – location will have an effect on the price of your property.

 

location matters

 

 

 

 

 

If your property has the exact same floor plan and the exact same acreage and is located here 85251 instead of here 86333 it will sell for more.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fact 3 – the condition of your property matters!

 

Suppose you are shopping at your favorite super market and you find this apple

 good apple

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                                  right beside this apple. 

 

 

Both apples are the same price. Which one are you going to buy?

 

Luckily, a piece of property isn’t as difficult to restore as a rotten apple.

 

 

Fact 4 – right now the housing market looks like this

 

lots of apples

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Fact 5 – when you contact an excellent home stager your property will receive a check-up

When you hire a home stager you will be able to set your property apart from the large crowd of available apples houses.

Love this post Yvonne, simple, to the point and so easy to understand.

You're one shiny apple of a stager yourself! The best of the bushel!

Hey Karen, it is so cool that you love my post. You are such a wonderful blogger and it is such a compliment to hear kind words from you. I thought about putting the title "Apples to Apples" but I think that title has been taken. :) 

Jackie, Wow, to see your words of explanation makes my wee wittle heart go flutter. You are such a wonderful marketer and so on top of things. It is so nice to hear from you.

Melanie, Thank you, thank you, thank you! There isn't much that gets me more excited than to hear (or see) a real estate professional who describes my blog offering as, ". . .hits the nail on the head!"  Again, Thanks!

Very clever post!  Do you ever send emails like these to agents?

12/09/2007 02:44 PM by Kristina, KFM Staging & Design - A Minnesota Home Staging Company (KFM Staging & Design)


Hi Yvonne!  Awesome, witty, and to the point post.  I just love it.  Great job my friend.  Put this in your portfolio!

12/09/2007 02:44 PM by Karen Dembsky, Atlanta Home Staging (Peachtree Home Staging LLC, Home Staging in Atlanta, GA)


Thank you Fernando! This was a fun post to put together. The problem is, I don't have any apples in the house and after viewing these I'm suddenly in the mood.

Kristina, Wow gal! Thanks for reminding me that I need to put this post to better use. I once made a really fun piece to send to my real estate pros without remembering that so many of them do not have Publisher on their computers. It took me a few days to realize what a mistake I had made when one real estate friend wrote to say she didn't know what program I had used and she could not open it. 

Karen, my friend! What is it they say about great minds? This morning as I put this together I thought, "This is one of the posts that will work the way Karen told me about. I will add it to my portfolio." Thank you so much!

How fun Michelle! Thanks for stopping by! You can bet your apple bippy that I'm glad you did! 

12/09/2007 06:20 PM by Yvonne Root Northern Arizona Home Stager (rooms b.y. root)


Yvonne - Well put. This is a great way to present staging to the public. Simple but to the point! Excellent.

12/09/2007 06:37 PM by Kelly Townsend, ASP, IAHSP, Star Staging (Star Staging)


Why, thank you Kelly! Your comment made me think about something else. One of our goals when we stage is to keep our projects "simple but to the point!" I truly appreciate your comment.

12/09/2007 07:10 PM by Yvonne Root Northern Arizona Home Stager (rooms b.y. root)


You make a very good point here.  Very well written.  I agree with Karen - we should put this one in the portfolio and use it in our marketing efforts!  Thanks for all you do to make this blog a success.  You do a great job!

12/10/2007 09:37 AM by Tonya Schulte


Good Day and Thank You Tonya! I love your choice of pronouns. It will certainly be a help to add this to the portfolio. It is wonderful to have you at my back making this blog possible. BTW, YOU do a great job! Do you have any apples? Could you bring them when you come to the office? Thanks! 

12/10/2007 09:43 AM by Yvonne Root Northern Arizona Home Stager (rooms b.y. root)


Love the apple analogy.  Apple-licious!  Keep the blogs coming.  You have a gift.

12/10/2007 10:31 PM by Janice Sutton - Temecula Murrieta Home Stager - Home Staging (1st Stage Property Transformations )


Thank you so much Janice! I truly appreciate your input. What I'm excited about now is that you have attended two RTs and will soon be Facilitating one of your own. I think you may become the RT Diva. We must talk soon! 

12/11/2007 07:48 AM by Yvonne Root Northern Arizona Home Stager (rooms b.y. root)


Yvonne you are so creative!!!  What a great analogy to help people understand what staging can do for them and how important pricing is as well!

Lea-Ann, Thank you for the wonderful compliment! We really are set to help folks understand this is a different market than just a few years ago. At the same time, we want them to understand there are a few things they can DO to help get their properties sold. BTW, I lived in W. St. Paul a number of years ago. I'm glad I was young then. I can't take the cold to well these days. 

12/11/2007 02:31 PM by Yvonne Root Northern Arizona Home Stager (rooms b.y. root)


I can just hear all the ooohhh's and aaahhh's with the last apple...point proven exactly.  Fabulous analogy...

Good to see you here Abby! Thanks for the good word and taking the time to drop in. Analogies are really so much fun; don't you think?
