Quick story on the To-Do-List
A realtor called me asking what she could do for her clients in the way of staging and that she was going to add it to her marketing plan. She said it was owner occupied and they need help. I told her as one of my services I offered a do to list for the customer and it is very affordable. She loved it and the price was right so she gave me the contact information. I made the appointment and met with the couple. They really needed help they have preemie baby that needs oxygen at all times, her husband works nights at micron and needs to sleep during the day and she takes care of her nephew who is 6 months old. I walked the house and started taking my notes and provided them with the list 24 hours later. I just went over yesterday to stage using there own accessories and the list was more than half way done. They had done so much work in such little time the house looked great. As I was staging the husband was checking things off the list that I had given him and commented " wow the house looks so good I don't know if I want to move." The wife was so thrilled she was taking mental notes so she could arrange everything for her future home. The realtor came in after me and took pictures and now the house is on the market ready for showings and the realtor is proud to have it shown.
