Nicknames

By
Home Stager with b&b Home Staging

When prospective buyers start looking at homes, eventually all the homes start looking alike unless something stands out. Usually there is one thing that stands out (whether good or bad)Ā  Interestingly, they start nicknaming homes they've viewed.

For example: "the purple house", "the dirty house", "the house with no landscaping", "the dog house".

Be the house that gets the best nickname "the move-in ready house", "the clean house", the great smelling house", "the house with all the square footage".

Using a professional stager will give you the edge over your competition and place your property way above others in how it is presented to prospective buyers!

I had some buyers who nicknamed every house.  Their favorite nickname - but not their favorite house- was "the party house".  The owners had converted the large formal dining room into a party room, complete with raised stage (for the band) and full bar.

So true - I recently blogged about the same thing.  This is one of the ways I help buyers remember each house...picking one thing that stands out and using that in discussion. It's never good when the nickname is "The cat pee house" or "the really messy house".
