I haven't been on AR much lately I have to admit.  (Traveling, sick, working like crazy!) It is nearly 11:30 when I am writing this and I have at least 8 blogs worth of stuff to write about, but because it is so late I'm going to try to keep this one fairly short & hope I can get back to do a blog every day or so for the next few days. 

I have a great little story to share, there is a past, present and if all goes well a future.  This is not the beginning, but it is a great place to start. 

A few months ago I shared a blog with you on a home I staged.  Shortly thereafter this home sold and I posted the amazing results - it was the only home this year to close in that subdivision a full price with multiple back ups (including another full price offer).  More numbers to share.... The Value Staging brings to the table - in written offers

Because of this great news, I did my usual marketing routine.... How do you follow up on a sale? Marketing tip that works!  and sent an email blast to all the current listing agents letting them know the success of the property we just staged.

We went on 3 different appointments in this neighborhood over the next few weeks.  Another staging company staged one of the homes, we staged one of the homes and the other one, still is unstaged.

I blogged (again - go figure!) What do you do with 3 major focal points in the same room?

Flash forward ---- This home has now gone under contract (less than 30 days after we staged it!) The agent and owners are thrilled! 

So, where is the future in this story?  Tonight I emailed all of the listing agents who have homes for sale in this neighborhood (many of which already received the email when we sold the last one - yep, their homes are still for sale - only 3 others have gone AC since then!) letting them know of our great news (including the prior stats & testimonial). 

If you had a listing in this neighborhood, wouldn't now be a good time to start thinking staging really does work?
