home staging salem oregon real estate albany corvallis dallas polk county marion county stager selling a home for sale by owner stagers: Home Staging is a "No Brainer" to new buyer
- 05/24/10 04:38 PM
This past weekend, I went to visit a dear friend in another Oregon town. She recently purchased a home after several months of looking. Unfortunately, properties in her area seem to be ridiculously overpriced with a huge glut of homes sitting for months and months without any interest being shown. So price was her first obstacle to overcome. Second was the condition of the homes she saw. In all, she viewed 53 properties before she found what she was looking for at an affordable price. The homes that were in good shape and showed well were price-inflated. In those priced a … (3 comments)

I've been out of Active Rain action for a while but find myself getting more excited about the busy home selling season ahead. I joined my colleagues in our local professional staging network last week for a promotional activity. You might say we’re back on home plate, ready for a winning spring season. Mid-Valley Professional Stagers (MVPS) recently attended a Salem OR vendor fair sponsored by Prudential Real Estate Professionals. Our group offered many receptive REALTORS guidance and information on how MVPS can be their Most Valuable Partner in Service. Over the past several months, homes in the valley that … (5 comments)

"Offering free home staging". Magic words or at least attractive words to sellers. But those words aren't coming from professional stagers, they're coming from listing agents. Smart agents who know the real value of this unbelievably effective marketing tool. Here's advice to sellers who consider signing a listing contract for that reason or sellers who recognize what an important added service that is. Be sure you understand exactly what professional staging services your listing agent plans to provide.

home staging salem oregon real estate albany corvallis dallas polk county marion county stager selling a home for sale by owner stagers: Staging Still Highly Recommended
- 10/13/09 02:42 PM
Received an update from the FSBO Blog...yet another article on the importance of staging and the basics. While the info is very basic, this might be a good link to share with listing clients or anyone even considering selling a home. http://fsbo.fizber.com/2009/09/30/the-home-staging-cheat-sheet/ . This wouldn't be enough, generally speaking, to help a seller stage a home but it might be enough to prompt a professional consultation. A comprehensive consultation with a written report (i.e. plan and "honey-do list") is a very effective way to stage a home that has a minimal cost. Sellers need to be motivated tho, to do the … (4 comments)
home staging salem oregon real estate albany corvallis dallas polk county marion county stager selling a home for sale by owner stagers: The Market is Unchartered Territory-Staging is Not
- 10/01/09 04:43 PM
Economists and Real Estate professionals are all making a good college try at predicting where the market is going, what's working and what's not. And many of them admit that we're in uncharted territory so predictions can change with the wind. What is not changing with the wind, are certain "flaws or deficiencies" in homes that will almost always turn away a buyer. A good professional stager will have ideas on how to work with or work around those challenges to still illicit the interest of a buyer. It requires engenuity, creativity and often, even just a very reasonable budget to … (7 comments)
home staging salem oregon real estate albany corvallis dallas polk county marion county stager selling a home for sale by owner stagers: Do The Math
- 07/30/09 08:40 AM
It's often difficult for home sellers to swallow the cost of home staging of a vacant property. It's labor intensive for a stager so the one-time staging fee can run anywhere from $700-1500 depending on the size of the property, the number of rooms being staged, price range and location of the home. There's an additional cost for rental of furnishings and accessories that is incurred monthly, usually several hundred dollars. I'd say the average investment my clients make for staging a vacant home for three months is less than $2500. Don't say 'ouch' until you consider the information found in … (0 comments)

One of my teenaged daughters recently left home for a summer student exchange program in Costa Rica. Now... I have forever been a real travelbug so I'm thrilled to hear of her adventures and to learn about the details that define the culture of the small, Central American country. After I read her e-mails, I find myself Googling everything I can about Costa Rica even real estate for sale. Bright colored, stucco homes with courtyards wait in quiet villages for the right family to come along. I peruse the photos, wondering what retirement in a warm climate would be like...Retirement???? Way … (3 comments)
