KAREN MARGELOFSKY EARNS ACCREDITED STAGING PROFESSIONAL^TM DESIGNATION

The softening Real Estate market in New York is increasing homeowner demands for tools to help bring a profit in the sale of their homes. Home Staging has become one such tool. By properly cleaning, de-cluttering and preparing a house before it is listed on the market, homeowners have a better chance of selling their home at or above list price.

In a 2004-2006 study conducted by Stagedhomes.com, 300 homes that had spent an average of 163.7 days on the market, were Staged^® by Accredited

Staging Professionals (ASPs^TM) re-listed and sold in an average of 13.7 days.

Homes that were Staged^® before being listed, sold in an average of 8.9 days. Of the same 300 homes, those that were Staged^® after spending time on the market, had an average equity of $14,074. That's compared to homes that were Staged^® prior to being listed, which saw a 5.8% increase for an average equity of $16,784. On average, Staged^® homes sold 50% faster and for 6.9% more money than homes that are not Staged^®.

Karen Margelofsky with Coldwell Banker Mulleady Inc. Realtors is now serving the Eagle River area as an Accredited Staging Professional (ASP^TM). Karen is among the network of more than 15,000 Real Estate Agents and professional Home Stagers worldwide, who are providing sellers with the knowledge and tools they need to sell their homes faster and/or for more money. Karen has completed the Accredited Staging Professional^TM Course provided by StagedHomes.com, where she received hands-on instruction and was required to and demonstrated techniques by Staging^® a home that was listed on the market.

Barb developed the concept of Home Staging in the early 1970's and has since educated more than one-million people on the subject.
