Why 9 out of 10 Dentists Recommend Home Staging.

In a  previous post I wrote about blogging and flossing. Don't Forget to Floss!  I know, strange title. I'm sure you're wondering what flossing has to do with blogging.

Well I was sitting here reading Tessa Skeens post on What are your favorite comebacks to Realtors who don't believe? and I thought, you know there was a funny little cliche about flossing I came across while writing the other post and the concept also relates to home staging.

From an article on Save Your Smile.com

FLOSSING: We often get asked questions such as how often should I floss, is flossing necessary, and what teeth should I floss ? Our response is the cliche used by dentists the world over:

You should only floss the teeth you want to keep! You see next to brushing, flossing is the most important thing that you can do to ensure good oral health.

 

Here is how it applies to home staging:

 

HOME STAGING: When asked  if home staging is necessary and which homes need the services of a professional home stager? The answer is simple.

You should only stage the homes you want to  sell!   All the rest of them you can leave un-staged.

You see next to proper pricing and effective marketing home staging is the most important thing you can do to ensure a home will stand out above the competition and have the most buyer appeal.

Professional Home Staging is a Real Estate Agents best ammunition against a slow market with lots of homes competing for buyers attention.
