Houses are still selling just not as quickly, and the ones that show best will sell first! As a Professional Home Stager in NJ I have worked with many real estate agents and the one thing I always highly recommend to them is that they must STAGE their listing prior to that first Open House. Once a buyer has seen the house and is not initially impressed with it, the opportunity has passed you by.
Realtors, just like homes for sale today, have to stand out from the competition. A realtor that offers home staging as part of their package when listing a house will set themselves apart from other realtors. Many people today are HGTV junkies and with shows like Designed to Sell, they see the potential of recouping more money for their house with just a minimum investment spent on staging it.
My company ReStyled to Sell Home Staging in NJ specializes in taking what the clients already own and redesigning their space to create a more inviting home. This allows the clients to have their home staged by a Home Staging Expert for an affordable price.
While most realtors do not pay for the cost of staging, they do offer to pay for the initial consultation which is basically a blueprint for the seller. If the sellers should choose to hire ReStyled to Sell Home Staging, NJ, then the clients will receive (1) hour FREE Staging as a courtesy to the realtor. THIS MAKES THE REALTOR SHINE!
The cost of Staging is far less than that first price reduction. Don't wait until you have already reduced the price to call in ReStyled to Sell Home Staging, NJ. STAGE IT FIRST, THEN LIST IT, then sit back as you watch your listings make their grand debut...and then watch your referrals grow!
We need to work together as a team doing what we do best to help the sellers sell their house. Realtors, you need to concentrate on marketing their home, and I, the home stager, needs to concentrate on getting that house in tip top condition and ready to show. Together we can make a difference. And that difference can be the very thing that will set you apart from other realtors in this sluggish market.

Time is money. Many time we all get caught in the rut of not wanting to be the first one to do something like this. To be successful in this business you need to stand out in the crowd.
