The great debate, to stage or not. Well maybe not that great of a debate, but it has come to question many times. We've all heard or read that furnished homes offer the opportunity for the buyer to envision themselves living in a property. It gives them "perspective" on where they would actually place their own furniture. We've also heard that furnished homes sell a tadbit faster than vacant ones. The one year anniversary for our home tending service is coming up in May. It has been a wonderful experience and there's still a lot of ground to cover as more vacant homes linger on the market. Here are just a few of the results for Turnkey Home Tenders over the past 11 months.

 



Whether the Seller opts for a home tending service or traditional staging, the results can be positive for improving the presentation of a vacant home. Home tending is a different approach with a few added benefits for the Seller. In addition to staging the Home Tender will pay all utilities, maintain the lawn and keep the property in excellent showing condition at all times. It's a great option for the Seller who does not have the extra money to pay for traditional staging. It also gives the Seller peace of mind that someone will always be concerned about the condition and presentation of the home.

If you think a vacant property/listing could use a little help in presentation consider home tending and it's many benefits. Here are 10 Ways Home Ten ding Saves Money for Sellers!
 
  1. Pays all utilities
  2. Maintains the lawn
  3. Pays for pool service
  4. Avoid major system issues
  5. Keep insurance costs down
  6. Deters vandalism and theft
  7. Avoid complications of leasing
  8. Sell faster
  9. Higher selling price
  10. No payment due at close from the seller!

So, the next time the question (or debate) arises of whether to stage a vacant property consider the aesthetic benefits. After all, you only get one chance to make a great first impression. However, there's always an opportunity for a "mulligan."
