We can all agree that selling a house is all about the marketing efforts that the Realtor puts into the selling process.

I often speak to Realtors that don't believe in staging or reallly pressing the seller to do much of anything to get the home ready to sell. I don't understand why. We have so much data that shows that preparing the home and staging sells the home faster and often for more money.

I think Realtors have a catch 22 situation- first they want to list the home so they tell the homeowner what a great home they have and after they have signed the listing they have to tell them the truth about what needs to be done to the property in order to get the property sold for the best price. That can be tough for some Realtors.

That's where the use of a stager or redesigner can really assist the Realtor.  Many stagers provide services on getting the home ready to sell.  Our company provides detailed reports about color options, decluttering, cleaning, repairs, curb appeal and discussion on staging or redesign options and opportunities if needed.  

By using experts to go over the details of getting the home ready it will help to keep in tact a good quality relationship between the seller and Realtor.  

The Realtors we work with  love the  services we offer and the best part it only cost $150.00.  They tell us it is the best money they spend because they don't have to be the "bad guys"  and tell the truth about the good,bad and ugly that the house has and the work gets completed.  If your not using a home preparation service call a staging company in your area and let them help you to get the sold sign posted!
