9 Comments on Advise to Home Staging Experts in tough Housing Market
Lise, I totally agree. We have to first and foremost answer the question "What's in it for me?". I am in the process of rewriting the home page on my website to reflect just that and answer the question of the stressed out seller or REA "Can you help me?" - "Yes, I can help!"
Certainly, contact me by email in my bio should you have any questions I can help with.
Ooops! I guess that wasn't clear!! I meant that I want my clients to look at my website and know that I can answered their question "Can you help me ?" Instead of reading them reading where I went to school etc.
But thanks anyway! ;- ) BTW, I like the video on your website.
Thank you for the comment about the video. You can still call me anytime with questions and thanks for reading the blog.
I hear what you are saying. I often get questions lately about if I do this project or make this improvement, how will it help my bottom line. I haven't checked out Homegain yet, but Lowes put out a great "investment" calculator in their newsletter.
Do you have the link to the Lowes newsletter?
Lise,
I have to say that I am getting calls from homeonwers that did not take my advise in the summer and fall, and now they are coming to see the light. My pending file from 2008 is becoming an active file now. It is so rewarding to have these people call me now and realize what I told them 6 mnoths ago is what they should have done. I think it is going to be a good year for me.
One of the things we've really been able to do is show statistics of homes in their area, how much staging cost and what the tangible and intangible values of staging were to those clients. While I agree that we need to be able to talk and address their specific concerns, and do, we also need to be able to have a proven track record, so they know we are doing more than just paying lip service and being a salesperson.
Yes having the 'proof' as they say that our work is in line with the results provided in surveys is an essential part of helping a seller understand the value proposition. Thanks for all the comments and I'm happy to see we are all so interested in our business.
