What do you get when you combine 1 model home, 1 real estate team, and one staging team?

5 homes sold in under 2 months including the model!

Home staging does not only benefit home sellers and Realtors. Home Builders in our area are using staging more and more as a marketing tool to sell their properties. I recently worked with a builder in the suburbs of Philadelphia to stage his model home. He had never used staging before and quite honestly was skeptical if it would be effective. He admitted to me during the estimate that since the market had changed that he did not have a lot of money to invest in staging and only wanted us to do the basic areas in the home to give buyers a suggestion of how they could live in the home. We created a plan for him that worked with his budget and time frame and showcased the selling features of his home.

He called me today to apologize! He told me that he thought he would need our things for 6 months but that we had to come and remove our items next week because all of the houses had sold! He admitted that the staging worked. What surprised him most was how easy it was to show and sell the homes. He actually heard buyers talking about the rooms and how their things would look in the home. He did not need to apologize- I thanked him. Letting me know that all his homes had sold in under 2 months was the best news I had heard all day- that and the fact that he will definitely use staging again and recommend us to his peers.
