On August 22nd I got a call from a realtor I know and she asked if I can do an EMERGENCY staging, has that ever happened to you?? Here was the scenario. The house was sold and a week from the closing date the deal died because the house underappraised. Not surprising in this market.
Anyway, the builder wanted to know if he could stage the house in time for the next Open House, which meant, today, right now, not tomorrow. I went to view the property and THANKFULLY I just took my inventory from another home that sold that would work perfectly with this home. SO I SAID SURE NO PROBLEM.....by the next day his house was staged.
HERE IS THE GOOD NEWS......THE HOUSE SOLD and the buyer is PAYING CASH and wanted to close in a week...HOW'S THAT FOR SUCCESS? I got the phone call today saying hey guess what, we are closing on Wednesday, can you pick up your furniture....YIKES! I was staging another house at the time of the call and made arrangements to pick up the furniture in the evening. WOW THAT WAS QUICK!! In this market that is incredible.
For all builders and investors and homeowners who are struggling with the sale of your home..DON'T GIVE UP HOPE, there are buyers out there regardless of what the media says. Remember if your house is PRICED RIGHT, and SHOWS WELL, IT WILL SELL.
Staging your home to sell is an investment that could save you time and money in the long run. Call a professional home stager in your area and see what everyone is talking about. What do you have to lose?
