Listed by Robertson Allen at $449,900, this home is priced to sell.  For more information on the property, visit The Cassina Group's website!

If the home doesn't sell in the first month or two, then I'll stage.  This philosophy, designed to save money, actually has a tendency to cost the seller more than they could possibly stand to gain - in both time and money.

Think back to one of the first things you learned after real estate school.  New listings are HOT!  This is when the most interest is generated. Agents who are WOWed by the listing will show it over and over again - if it lasts that long.  The best possible offers are typically obtained during this initial period as well.  When you postpone staging, you have missed the opportunity of putting your best foot forward, so to speak.  These are excited potential buyers and possibly agents that you will never win back!  

So, what to do?  At the listing table, explain the importance of staging to compete in today's market.  Have your professional home stager provide a consultation immediately - before the listing hits the market! (It may be necessary to postpone the listing contract.)  Your stager will provide a list of projects and possible improvements necessary to compete and shine in your market.  

These changes are vital to securing the maximum equity for your clients as possible in today's current market conditions.  Hesitating or waiting WILL cost your client equity.

Thank you for your interest in Logan Simmons listing.  You may reach Logan directly at 843-345-9424.   72 Amherst Street, Charleston SC 29403, is a grand old duplex built in 1895. This property is located only one block off of Meeting Street. The price has been reduced nearly fourty three thousand dollars! This house has straight lines, no sagging, or bowing, it seems to have "good bones". Each unit is approximately 1,826 square feet!  Many of the original architectural details are intact, including the window moldings and sliding pocket doors off of the main halls. You are sure to appreciate the soaring ceilings, double piazzas and flexibility of the floor plans. It would not take much work to make these units rentable again. An owner could certainly live in one unit and rent the other. The house is built up high on a substantial crawl space. This property is within walking distance to the College of Charleston, the Medical University of South Carolina, and very close to the Charleston Law School. Power and water, turned off at the street, are still connected to the downstairs unit. The list price is only $95 a square foot! This property will be sold in, as is, physical condition. Upstairs there are five rooms, two full baths, a parlor, and a kitchen. Downstairs there are four rooms, one bath, a parlor, and a kitchen.  Call Logan for a private showing today!  843-345-9424
