Just thought I would share with everyone what a difference staging makes in pictures and a virtual tour!
BEFORE:
AFTER: 
I'll let you know how it does in showings - this is my mother's listing that I did the photos and virtual tour on.  ;)
I'm sure Phyllis can tell you all she did to stage this!  I'll be doing the open house on this property the sunday after easter, can't wait to see the responses - i'm sending an email out to people who saw it in the past to come see it again after being staged!  ;) 
 

11 Comments on Staging - it works! Many thanks to Phyllis Pafumi!

Staging is very important. I just listed a home this morning that was a rental, the owner had never seen the property. I advised him I will list as long as he agrees to stage the home with a professional home stager. There are 5 other homes for sale in the area and I told him if he wants to stand out a vacant home wasn't gonna sell.

He agreed and the home stager is scheduled for Friday morning.

Here's a few before and afters!  The house was kind of hard for people to use their imagination with because of the open floor plan and the architecture - it's a custom colonial made to take in all the waterviews....

Hey Jane

Your pics are amazing. I have staged many homes and I am ALWAYS disappointed with my pictures, they just do not show the true beauty of the home after staging.. YOU HAVE CAPTURED IT...You will definitely be included on all my stagings as far as the after pics are concerned. 

Thanks and hi to your mom. Cannot wait until the Open House when all the offers start rolling in...

I know a lot of FSBO in my area. Is there a way or a presentation that I can do to convince my FSBO as well as sellers who have expired listings that staging can help sell their home quicker and for more money. Please help. I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Oh by the way,does anybody use Talking House? And if you do,have you gotten any leads,listings and/or sales from using it? Please let me know.

You could do a virtual tour before and after on cd to show clients or even leave behind so they can mull it over if they say they have to think about it. 
BTW - I did use talking house - it was awful!  The clients were mad because when they were on their cordless phone, they could hear it and so could their neighbors! lol  Flyers work better.
