Staging FAQ’s- Why Isn’t Anyone Looking at My House?
Real estate agents and Home Stagers get this question all of the time. A seller 
lists their home but can’t understand why they aren’t getting any showings. Price, location and condition all affect a home’s “sale-ability.”
However…..
If buyers can’t see it, they won’t come.
Two things can affect this…. two things that could determine whether or not buyers AND agents will be able to see your home.
One….your MLS presence.
Did you know that about 90% of buyers begin their search on the Internet?
Test it yourself…. go to the MLS and look at various listings. What makes you want to call an agent and schedule an appointment?
Look at your listing! What you see is what your potential buyers will see. If you have only a few pictures or if your photos don’t do your house justice, then this may be why you don’t have the number of viewings that you want. And, no one is going to scroll down to read the description unless the photos get them to want to see more.
Work with your agent and home stager to make sure that your property is in “show” ready condition.
Before you hire your agent, look at a sample of their listings. How are their current properties being marketed?
Two…...buyers truly can’t see your house.
Have those beautiful bushes and trees that you planted grown so tall that you can no longer see the house behind them? Curb appeal does make a difference, and buyers have been known to drive away from a property because of the curb appeal- or lack of it.
While you are preparing your house for sale, don’t neglect the exterior. Drive by it, stand across the street from it… get a clear idea of what potential buyers are (or aren’t) seeing.
Remember- make it easy for your
buyers to see your house.
