about the homeowner's who ended up firing the hobby stager due to lack of quality inventory, length of time it was taking to stage, and a few other unprofessional techniques. The Realtor called us in a bit of a panic when the homeowners decided to hire Staged to Sell instead. She was worried we would not be able to fit the project in at the late date. But, of course, we did.

They hired Staged to Sell for our reputation, professionalism and quality.

We'll fast forward one and a half weeks.

I received a call today from the Realtor.

FIVE OFFERS

ONE IN ESCROW

ONE AS A BACK UP OFFER

AND BOTH OFFERS ARE STRONG!

Don't gamble with your equity hire the right Professional Staging Company. You get what you pay for.

Very exciting to hear this!! More sellers need to understand this basic concept....

Yes, how do we get them to do that Melissa? I guess we keep writing articles, blogging and spreading the word! Kym

FANTASTIC! Love those kinda stories.

Thanks Nancy. This was a good one and I love the Realtor and the homeowner both. Makes the whole experience even better. Kym

Great news Kym! With more and more success stories like this one Realtors and Home sellers will take note. You won't be the only one "spreading the word." Terrific job!

Thanks Lori and Michele. Yes, it takes us all to spread the word. Kym

Right on!!! Oh, I just love a happy ending. Thanks Kym for finishing the story. So cool!

Kym- A really good lesson that proves several points: Sellers, do your homework and check out several staging companies, because not all stagers are alike! Also, the staging costs should NOT be the determining factor in who you hire. Lastly, all you stagers, just when you think you have lost a job, it could still be yours, so always remain polite and professional!

I'm thrilled for you, Kym!

Great Story, Kym: That REA in CA [from Elaine's blog post] griping about Staging blogs can stick this stat where the sun don't shine!
thanks for sharing!

I love happy endings, Kym. And with your staging talents and your extensive inventory it's no surprise that it ended with three strong offers. Congrats!
