This home had a lot of action at Broker's Open House. Not only did Agents show up, but so did their clients. It was wonderful to see so much energy and interest in this home on that day.

This home was in need of a lot TLC and it got it. The homeowner took the advice of the listing agent and had it painted, cleaned and staged. After the house sold I spoke to the owner and he was just thrilled about the results. They had their closing this past week and they are moving on.

A special thanks to Active Rain member and listing agent Maria Rini of Re/Max Real Estate Limited for encouraging the homeowner to stage his property.

Congratulations.  Even in a slower market, the staging and pricing are very important.

Kevin- You are so right. If it is priced right and looks right it is going to sell. Thanks for your comment.

Very cool and now I want to know how you put the slideshow on your blog.  Just when I think I know how to do things along comes another.

Barbara,

This is beautifully staged.  Do buyers ever want to purchase the home with the furniture?

05/06/2008 07:51 AM by Mike Jones (Tucson Mortgage Company, LLC)


Mike, So far no, but once the homes is bought I have had the buyers hire me to stage the home with their own furniture. Thank for stopping by to comment.

05/07/2008 06:48 AM by Barbara Cluck-Miksits - New Jersey Home Staging (BCM Home Staging LLC)


I'm definitely interested in staging. I sent you an email.  Please contact me as soon as you have the time.

Barbara, Congratulations! You did a beautiful job of staging this home and obviously it paid off. Can you please send me the info on your slideshow too? It really showcases your work well.

05/22/2008 09:52 AM by Bonny Puckett ~ REALTOR ~ Fountain Hills, Scottsdale, AZ (Call Realty)


Barbara~ Congratulations!  You did a great job.  It really helps when the Realtor, Stager and Seller are on the same page.  When they have Broker opens there, so they actually invite the general public too? Or do they strongly encourage agents to bring their clients also? I think it is a great idea.

05/25/2008 10:04 AM by Owensboro KY Real Estate Specialist Vickie McCartney Broker,ASP,ABR (Home Realty GMAC Real Estate Owensboro Kentucky)


Vickie, Usually at Brokers Open House it is for Agents, but I think because this house showed so well and was priced correctly these Agents did not even want to wait for the public open house. They knew it was going to go fast, and it did.

Thanks for stopping by.

05/26/2008 09:23 PM by Barbara Cluck-Miksits - New Jersey Home Staging (BCM Home Staging LLC)


The home looks beautiful, you did a wonderful job. Home staging can make a big difference in some homes. Great job!

Judy and Sherry, Thank you so much for your compliments. It is so nice when professional agents understand the benefits of staging. Thanks for stopping by.

Barbra

Congrats, nice home. I had one close today was on the market for 13 days begining to end did't stage it. I am wondering if I could have done it quicker if i would have staged it.

06/03/2008 04:18 PM by Gary J Rocks (Sussex County Real Estate)


Gary, the possibilities are endless with staging. Just when you think a house looks pretty good, just call in a GOOD PROFESSIONAL STAGER and you will be shocked at how they can make it look even better. Staging increases the marketability of a home.
