One thing I love about my job is getting that call from the agent - "We need you to come un-stage the house!  We have a contract!"  Today was one of those days.....

Here is the home -

We staged the home prior to listing - it listed on 12/09/07 in Seabrook Island, SC

The home went contingent on 2/08/08.... less than 60 days after staging

The average DOM for this neighborhood is 161 days.  (based on 02/07 - 02/08 stats)

----------------------------------------------

This is the testimonial from this agent:

This is a team of true professionals that are focused on customer satisfaction and exceeding your expectations with delivery of services. With little notice and under pressure to stage three listings, they worked 24/7 to meet the deadlines. Staging with First Impressions is a savvy investment tool for realtors and sellers in this market. Presentation in marketing of your product and in showings to potential buyers is EVERYTHING. "You only get one chance to make a good impression, so leave a mark and not a stain"

Ann Coggiola, Agent, Prudential Carolina Real Estate 

----------------------------------------------

One thing that makes our staging services stand out is the consistent success in statistics.  We routinely break the DOM average.  When clients stage with First Impressions they know they will earn their money back in saved carrying costs and higher offers!  WE can back it up on paper..... in black and white!

Lisa - Thanks for the correction - all fixed!  I guess it would have been hard to stage on a date that hasn't happened yet!  I love beating the market - now if only I knew how to do that with stocks!

Elaine - Thanks!  The agent had lots of great feedback and has already referred us to several other agents. 

Judy - Thanks!  It's great when you have good 'bones' to work with!

Tom - I do LOVE what I do!  I'm glad it shows!  Thank you so much....

Yvonne - I hope your day continued on a great trend!  I'm glad to have helped with the good start!

Abby - Thanks!  This agent also advised us that she is getting ready to list a few more in this neighborhood over the next few months - she usually requires them to stage, so I am already looking forward to those jobs too!

Janice - We are lucky to have such awesome realtors, who seem to understand what staging provides their clients!

Melissa - That is great! I love the way you stated it, breaking the DOM average etc. I love the testimonial, one thing I am sorely missing even though my staging stats have been really good. Do you ask for them?  You are a great marketer.

Kelly - Absolutely ask for the testimonial!  I feature my testimonials with the listing in my monthly newsletter.  This is additional advertising for the agent as well.... another win-win situation.
