FREE Home Staging Consultation

Free Home Staging Consultation

Sounds too good to be true right???
Well it isn't. Rockland Home Staging has partnered with local real estate agents that are willing to pay the fee for a two hour home staging consultation.

What is the catch?
No catch - the consultation is absolutely free. There are several agents in Rockland County NY that are willing to pay the fee for a home staging consultation as part of their listing process. When you list with one of Rockland Home Staging's partner agents you are entitled to a free two hour consultation with a professional home stager.


What are the benefits?
There are thousands of homes on the market in Rockland County NY and the real estate market is slow. Having your home professionally staged will ensure that your home sell quickly and for more money. According to recent statistics, homes that have been staged sell for 6.3% more than the competition and in half the time.


What are the risks?
There are no risks to having a home staging consultation. A representative from Rockland Home Staging will visit your home and discuss inexpensive changes that can be made to the home to make it more appealing. Home Staging is point of sale marketing for your home. You can choose to implement all or some of the suggestions made by the stager according to your budget and time constraints.

How do I get started?
Just contact Maureen Henry at Rockland Home Staging today. She can help you navigate the often confusing and stressful real estate market. Rockland Home Staging can help you take the guesswork out of getting your home ready for sale.


Which home do you think buyers would rather purchase?

Is this a PR release?  I need to work on something like that so I can release it as a press release. Since the end of 2006 99% of my two-hour consutlations are paid for by agents as part of their marketing budget. Good job!

Jennifer - It works out great on all counts.  Realtors get referrals from me, clients get a free staging consultation and a consultation.  It is a win, win, win.

Maureen - Like your marketing piece.  I guess the Realtor who gets the client is paying for your consult?  Did you give them a price break or are they paying your regular fee?  Did you pitch the idea to a lot of Realtors?  Sorry for all the questions.

Sandra - I work with a few agents that value my services.  They understand that the homes will sell quicker.  I also see a lot of clients before they list and try to match the my favorite agents with the right clients.  It is a great relationship.  I do a lot of marketing to Realtors, I do AM chats and 3 hour continuing education classes for REA's.  It helps to develop relationships with local agents.

I love your "Which home would you rather buy?" series. Keep them coming!

(See if you can create a common tag for them all, perhaps "whichhome" so you can use one link to show off the whole "Which home would you rather buy?" portfolio.)

"portfolio" might be a better tag...

Benjamin - You are so right.  I have made a mess of my tags.  There is no consistency.  I am going to work on it.

Maureen, Good for you!!!  I wish the REA's in my area were willing to offer this to all of their listings!  Unfortunately, most are still living in the "old days" and giving their own version of "home staging" in the form of a "LIST" .... paint it neutral, declutter, etc.  They still don't get the value of having a professional stager get involved.  BUT...I'm still trying to educate!

BTW....you can get your blog published for free on the internet.  I did it a few months ago.  Its a simple process.  go to www.free-press-release.com.  You'll have a review and then it will go live in a couple of days!  Hope this helps!

OMG. Staging sells homes, period. I should add that it is worth every penny of an initial consultation (thanks, Val- east end of LI) because staging simply SELLS HOMES.

Maureen I have to add: when we had our stager come out to three properties, two sold without the homebuyer having to add much. The difference between the suggestions implemented by a "professional" as opposed to a real estate agent made the experience MUCH BETTER for the sellers. And, for us.
