So You Don’t Believe in the Power of Home Staging

 

home staging beliefs 

Do you believe in the power of marketing in general?

Do you believe the way a product is packaged makes a difference in number of sales?

Do you believe quality or lack of quality is an important determining factor in the price of any product?

Do you believe first impressions count?

Do you believe fresh is a good adjective to use in conjunction with for-sale products?

Do you believe the phrase; “I love it!” is not a good indicator that a home shopper has placed a particular property in the “good” column?

Do you believe there are more houses on the market then there are home buyers at the present time?

Do you believe it is important to give your house an edge over its price point competition?

Do you believe in putting your best foot forward when meeting important people or folks who have the power to change your life?

Do you believe it is worth some effort or a small monetary investment to be reassured you have done everything humanly possible to be sure your house is the one property viewed by potential buyers which will be remembered for a good reason rather than a bad reason?

Do you believe you know more than a professional home stager about what home buyers are looking for in today’s market?

Do you believe there is nothing you can do which will help you receive full value for your house?

 

 

If you still don’t believe in the power of home staging it may be because you believe the only people who can afford to have house staging assistance are the rich and famous. Just like when you view a fantastic movie you may need to suspend your disbelief for a short while as you call your local home stager and see how very affordable is the service provided by home stagers. Better than a fantastic movie, the suspension of your disbelief will allow you to improve the marketability of your house and increase your overall promotion factor in today’s real estate world.

I have seen the proof, money in my seller's pocket, and I am a believer!

Yvonne, I do beleive!  God, you got me all worked up and I just had to blurt that out.  Very well written...

Well, once again, Yvonne, you have stated the point quite eloquently.  I do believe that is one reason we keep you around here.  Oh, that and the fact that you are our designer!  :-)

Marketing, marketing, marketing. This is what it all comes down to. If your home is not packaged better than the home down the street, then you are losing money! It's not about just having a product for sale, it's about showing potential buyers why they should buy your house.

I do believe!

LOL @ poor Gary!  You got me going, too - I was thinking "Amen, Rev. Root"!  : )  I believe!

very nice post, once again driving the point home.  Did I find something new in this post?  Why, I believe I did!

Virginia, You are among the believers who we stagers appreciate so much. Actually, I appreciate you for speaking up and standing up for the power of home staging. You rock! It is so cool that you understand what staging can do for your clients. Because you are thinking of them first, you will be rewarded too. Cool; huh?

Gary, for you and all my stager friends I keep typing. For my agent and home seller friends I keep teaching. For the whole wide world I keep PREACHING! Can I get an AMEN? 

05/08/2008 07:06 PM by Yvonne Root Northern Arizona Home Stager (rooms b.y. root)


Tonya, because you have become my very best #1 cheerleader I love hearing what you have to say. I'm really glad you are also a believer. Whoooooo Hooooooo! 

05/08/2008 07:12 PM by Yvonne Root Northern Arizona Home Stager (rooms b.y. root)


Kathy, Haha -- bless you my child for you are among the believers! Pretty soon we will have the world swaying to the staging music and then the sound will just keep on rolling. Amen?

Miss Karen, you certainly did find something new. Finding new things is often helpful in the marketing world. That is what I was told by a wise woman from somewhere around Atlanta Georgia. Thanks!

05/08/2008 07:21 PM by Yvonne Root Northern Arizona Home Stager (rooms b.y. root)


LOL Virginia. Now you have me laughing and I'm home alone. I sure hope the neighbors don't become worried about me. Thank you for the Amen, Sister!

Nicely put there my friend Yvonne. I think if they could just get in their grasp that home staging is marketing, not decorating.  Why would the home that shows the best if all else is equal (comps) not sell the best?  I dunno.

05/11/2008 11:03 PM by Kathleen Lordbock (Re$ale Design) ~Minnesota Home Stager~ (Re$ale Design & Home Staging)


Kathleen, you, my friend, are so right! The difference is apparent to those of us who practice the craft. Let's hope we can be ever so diligent in getting the message out to the masses. :)
