How Staging Set a New Record for me!

I attended an Accredited Staging Professional designation workshop offered by StagedHomes and quickly put what knowledge I learnt into my listings.

Just very basic stuff about basic furniture arrangement, space flow, etc. I even asked the Active Rain stagers to help and they did! It took the Sellers 2 months to get the house ready. I listed it on Friday at 9:30pm. The house was scheduled for its first showing on Saturday (the very next day) from 2:00-4:00pm. By 4:30pm, we receive a call saying that we will receive an offer a few hours later. It's by far the FASTEST record I ever had on my listings! Less than 24 hours of listing it.

After we negotiated and accepted, I had a great conversation with the Buyer's Agent. He asked if the property was staged? I proudly said "Yes"..... I applied the knowledge I learnt from the class (also happens to be my very first designation). Staging works! He said that the house really SHOWED well....

Lesson I learnt from staging:
1. It's not a matter of what style furniture - I was thinking "older" furniture may not work as well.
2. It's about using what I have to cleverly make the space work.
3. It's about selling wall and floor spaces.

I am not taking any credit for this. Everything happened like it should with the right people at the right place and the right time. I am just a facilitator. It is Him to all glory is given.

Good for your, Loreena. That's an incredible success story and a great testimony to the positive impact staging can have.

Thanks for sharing.

Congrats Loreena!

As a new staging co. I am so encouraged by your success. We know where our help comes from!!! Brenda

Way to go Loreena! Thanks for sharing your success story with us!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for all the wonderful comments and encouragement. I really didnt believe this myself until the Buyer's Agent reiterated to me asking if we had "staged" the property. It was an honor. He mentioned that he's seen so many houses in the price range, none showed as well. He told the Buyers that they should buy it and never did see another house after ours!

Yippee!!!

Thanks for sharing your success! Congragulations. I look forward to following in your footsteps.

Margie: My first and only designation is ASP Realtor (Accredited Staging Professional) Realtor designation. It's offered by StagedHomes.com - Barb Schwarz. Part of my business goal is to become resourceful for my clients, hence I figured this class/ designation will make a difference. And it did!

How terrific for you, great job on the staging. I'm signed up to take the same course next week and I know it will be a benefit to my clients as well. Thanks for sharing.
