Home Staging Provides The Cure To Buyer Blindness

By
Home Stager with Sharon Tara Transformations

I'm not a doctor but I play one on TV.

Ok, I don't play a doctor on TV. I'm not on TV at all.

I think we can all agree that I should have my own Home Staging show, but those executives at HGTV aren't returning my calls.

So what's my point? 

Much like a doctor, a home stager is in the business of improving condition.  We diagnose the problem and we prescribe the necessary treatment. 

Much like an eye doctor home stagers improve vision. We actually help potential buyers see more clearly.

Most people cannot visualize...90% will only see what is shown to them. Buyers don't look past dated window treatments, busy wallpaper,  mauve painted walls, and stained carpets to see a house's potential.

Most buyers are blind to potential.

If a house is not properly prepared prior to listing, to be both visually and emotionally appealing, the result will be an epidemic of Buyer Blindness

No need to worry....the condition is not permanent. Buyers' vision can be fully restored.

A Professional Home Stager can provide the cure for Buyer Blindness. Once a house has undergone treatment, every buyer who enters it will have 20/20 vision!

For those of you who are planning to list your home for sale, remember that prevention is the best medicine.

A Home Staging Consult can prevent Buyer Blindness....no more needless suffering!

 

I'm pretty sure Benjamin Franklin was referring to Home Staging when he said....

"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."

 

 Home Staging....Curing Buyer Blindness one house at a time!

Love the analogy.  Staging really does help a buyer see the home's potential without having to imagine it.

Dick Greenberg  I know you and Mary support the industry and understand it's value as a marketing tool. Thank you!

Chris Ann Cleland  Thank you!  I love using analogy type examples. It's easier to get the message across to those who just don't get it.

So many sellers have trouble believing that most buyers can't see past what is to what could be. We know different! With a consult and some work, they can make a huge difference.

A huge difference is right. We just need the opportunity!

Sharon- sign me up for the campaign to get you on HGTV.  In fact, not only one on staging but all of the wonderful crafts that you undertake.  I know I'd watch.  (Just as long as we'd still have time for our talks)

Just like good medicine, home staging is what the doctor ordered for a quick home sale. Very cute post, Sharon.

I'm not that ambitious. The reality is I would rather spend time with the grands.
