Do you have a vacant home to sell near the ocean, a lake, the mountains? 

                   Is it near a large city, a tourist attraction?

      Near a college or university?

Stage your vacant listing so it sells faster, but have the buyer pay for it!

  Here's how:

  1. Consult your home stager and explain that you'd like to stage your vacant property and sell it furnished.
  2. Your home stager will quote you a price for the furnishings, accessories, delivery and set-up.
  3. Consult with your Realtor and explain that you'd like your listing price to reflect a furnished vacation property.
  4. Sell your vacation property and recoup your staging fee.
  5. Listen as your Realtor tells how happy the buyer is that they can enjoy this vacation/2nd home immediately, as it is "move-in-ready".
  6. Or, listen as your Realtor tells how happy the buyer is that they can immediately rent out this property to students or travellers.

What a tremendous concept!  Talk about thinking 'outside the box' - this is one for the books!  Love the idea - thanks for sharing it with us!

Sue,

I always wondered the "why" behind the occasional listing I would see that looked so perfect and was "For Sale" furniture included. Now I know!

I can see why that could really catch on!

Your daughters work is wonderful...as is the web site. The portrait of you says so much...and she looks like you!

That "Marsh Storm" scene reminds me of those long stretches when you're in the car and the water and houses are so far away its surreal!

Very nicely done here Ms. Argue thank you for your insight into putting this list together.  Your daughter's art is awesome too - but she is YOUR daughter - (you don't have to tell her I said that unless you want to)

Good post Sue and "Thank You" so much for telling the sellers to listen to me their Realtor...LOL.  I hope all is continuing well for you.  I spoke to a local stager last week and encouraged her to sign up for Active Rain which she did.  We are meeting this Friday morning and I am going to try and encourage some sellers of mine to give this young lady a try.  Wish me luck :-)

Sue, this is wonderful. Our daughter and her husband in Tennessee build 3 cabins, put 2 on the market and set up the third as a rental. They have quite a few rentals now. They are working very hard and doing very well. I had already checked out your daughters art from one of your previous posts. (Didn't know she was your daughter but figured she was related. There is just something about that name.) I love her gentle touch.

Good points Sue.  I'm working that angle right now.  Sellers don't want to spend anymore money, but I told the realtor that staging will probably be the only way they can get a buyer.  Purchase the furniture then offer it to the buyer.  My thinking is, the house is on the market for almost a million.  Don't you think the seller can afford a couple thousand in furniture, even if they don't make the money back?  People are penny wise and pound foolish.  Had they not been so foolish to begin with they wouldn't be stuck with a milliion dollar white elephant!

Congratulations to you and to your daughter.  This painting is wonderful -- and creativity is much needed in this industry.  You can make a property come to life!  I'm ready to find that perfect staged vacation home.

Sue - I often just purchase furniture for home owners also.  A lot of the time it is less expensive than rental furniture.  I have a Court Rental Furniture outlet and nearby.  They sell a LR DR MBR package for $1299 including lamps, mattresses and end tables.  You cannot rent furniture for less.  If the clients do not want to sell the home furnished they can sell it or donate it to a local charity and take the tax right off.  Even if they hall it all to the curb they still are paying less than using rental furn.  

Your daughter's work is fantastic.
