Carol has built her reputation for client trust and satisfaction through proven results, integrity, loyalty, market knowledge and unparalleled personalized service. She utilizes great communication and follow-up skills, sharp negotiating know-how, analytical ability and strict attention to detail to achieve the client’s wishes. Because of her desire to satisfy, Carol eases the process without sacrificing toughness or determination.
Carol truly understands the importance of professional home staging in the marketing of real estate in today’s competitive marketplace and has integrated home staging in her comprehensive marketing plan for each seller. She says,
“You only get one chance to make a first impression” and “a picture speaks a thousand words”, both seem like just corny phrases but are critical to selling property in this type of market. The property needs to be prepared by a PROFESSIONAL STAGER to optimize and enhance the property’s appearance, making it appeal to the widest audience of buyers. Since most buyers begin their search on the web, the photographs need to show the property at its very best. I always include professional staging as part of my marketing plan when pitching for a listing; it’s critical and gives the property an edge over the competition. It results in a quicker sale at the very best price.”
It is always such a pleasure to collaborate with savvy agents like Carol. At Ingenuity & Pizzazz, Inc., we always share the seller’s and agent’s goals of selling quickly for top dollar. Certified Staging Professionals are experts at handling staging challenges, always working with tight deadlines and limited budgets. Once we are on the team, the agent can focus their full attention on their areas of expertise – marketing and selling. It’s a win-win situation for everyone.
We transformed an Upper Westside property for Carol last year. As Carol says, “the examples shown are of before and after staging by Ingenuity & Pizzazz, Inc. . It would have been virtually impossible to sell this property in the original state. Buyers would focus on the all the clutter and personal items, a total distraction plus the space appears very small. After staging, it showed how large the space really is and the staged furnishings were neutral and not distracting.”
