Good News: Home Staging is Not a Common Practice in New Hampshire

By
Home Stager with Sharon Tara Transformations

Planning on selling your house in New Hampshire?  The fact that most New Hampshire home sellers do not consult with a home stager is very good news!  Good news for you, and any other seller who chooses to professionally stage their house. 

This is also very good news to the Realtors listing the staged homes. 

Any time someone uses a successful method that the majority are not using, they have an advantage.

There is a big advantage to be had here in the Northeast.  With so many listings on the market today and so many sellers using "don't want to spend any money on the house" excuses, a staged home stands out from the competition.

sad

 

There is so much complaining about the terrible market, the slow market, the state of real estate...  doom and gloom and falling prices. 

 What is a seller to do? 

I'll tell you what not to do...don't fall prey to the headlines and accept it as your fate. 

 Many sellers in New Hampshire are doing just that.  One after another they are becoming "price reduced" statistics.  

 

Those in tune with today's market know that a key to the sale is in the preparation.

Buyers want move-in ready...

For the best possible result,  DON'T LIST your house until it is ready, and by "ready" I mean professionally home staged.

 And by "professionally home staged" I mean consult with a professional who can advise you on every single thing you can do to sell faster and for as close to your asking price as possible.  Once you have been advised on what to do...do it!  

 Once the house is show ready, make sure your online photographs represent a spacious, well maintained, emotionally appealing home.  Maintain the appearance for every showing.

Strategically marketed products sell...use this to your advantage.

 

  For now, it remains a marketing tool that only a few are taking advantage of. 

  Don't miss your opportunity to be one of the few!

Home staging is the trend of the future.

Sharon, What a GREAT website you/ve built!  Congratulations on hitting all the high points regarding Professional Home Staging and putting them in such a user-friendly way.  Especially loved the pdf handouts!

Now, about the reversal approach you took in this blog and the seller's competition...genius!  and SO true.
