Inman News Expert: "Tips for Getting Multiple Offers Include STAGING"
I followInman Newsas a way to stay updated on everything Real Estate and they are LOCAL right here in the San Francisco East Bay.
Today one of their feaure writers, Tara-Nicholle Nelson, also a local Bay Area real estate expert, wrote an article"4 Insider Tips for Getting Multiple Offers".
And the Tips are:
- Pristine & Staged
- Low Price
- Ample Exposure to the Market
- Showable on Demand
Tara-Nicholle explained #1:
"The homes that I've seen get multiple offers in my own market recently are immaculately clean -- not a whiff of anything within noseshot, so to speak -- and dressed to the nines. Their photos look like something out of a home decor catalog or design magazine -- like no one lives there, even if someone does. Their owners have often spent months in advance cleaning, decluttering, organizing, primping and otherwise sprucing their homes for sale with the intention of blowing the competition out of the water.
I won't purport to capture the art of staging in a sentence, but prepacking is a good visual to hold in mind as you prepare your home. (And anecdotally, I will say that it strikes me that a large proportion of multiple-offer homes have actually been professionally staged. I'd urge a seller who wants multiple offers to explore whether there's some level of staging service or even staging advice that is worth the investment, before dismissing it as too expensive out of hand.)"
As a home stager in the San Francisco East Bay I was delighted to see this....and the article mirrors the results we've seen staging homes in Contra Costa and Alameda Counties in the last 3-4 months!
