Staging helps in more ways than just selling a home !!

As many of my activerain friends do, one of the services that we offer all of the Clients that list their property with our team is a professional staging of their home. We initiated this process with the thought of course to help in the sale of their property.

What I didn't anticipate was the positive impact on potential future clients (listings) that I would meet through Open Houses that we hosted at one of our staged properties. I have had several people who have attended an Open House comment on how great the property looked. And I have now learned to take the opportunity to tell these prospective future clients of this great service we provide to "all" of our listing clients.

So while professional staging helps in marketing and selling an existing property -- it can also be a marketing item that separates your team from the others in the area and as a result bring you some future listings !!

Great idea, and I can see so many benefits on so many levels. I have a problem getting sellers to agree to do what's needed.

Peter ~ Thank you for this post! It is always good to hear from a realtor about the benefits of staging.

I'm going to mark this as one of favorites and I be able to forward it to my potential Realtor clients.

Wow, and thank you, thank you! You've eloquently expressed our message as stagers. Your sellers will be so impressed that you use staging as part of your services. You'll get a few successes and watch out, you'll be busier than you know what to do with. Best wishes to you and your team! I hope you keep us informed.

Peter, you've figured out the secret! To succeed in this market you have to distinguish yourself from the droves of other Realtors by offering Home Staging services to your listing clients. Suddenly you are knows as the agent whose listings ALL look great. You will have more clients than you know what to do with! Congratulations!

So glad to read your testimonial!

You give me hope that I can continue to convince Realtors and homeowners of the competitive edge they will gain from staging.

I live a few minutes from your some of your offices and it is good to know that someone so close embraces staging.

I also emphasis to Realtors and property owners that no matter what your budget may be for staging a good Real Estate Stager will provide a customized plan for you and will work within that budget.
