Realtors..How to Enhance and Set Apart Your Services Using Home Staging

By
Home Stager with Home-A-Dress

 

1) Add  A Home Staging Professional to Your List of Service Providers

  • Encourage your clients who are selling their home to consider Home Staging as a powerful marketing tool.
  • Home Staging is an excellent way to prepare a home for sale, utilizing your clients existing furniture and accessories, re-arranged, organized, de-cluttered and freshened up allowing your client's house to shine like the jewel it can be.
  • Remember, the investment your client makes in Home Staging is always less than a price reduction!
  • Home Staging has proven to result in a home selling faster and for more money than un-Staged Homes, especially now that the market is changing and listings are taking longer to sell.

2) Offer a Home Staging Consultation as Part of Your Listing Service

Offering a Home Staging Consultation to your clients is a great way to differentiate yourself in the marketplace. There are various ways to negotiate the Consultation offer, such as:
  • The homeowner pays for the Staging Consultation.
  • You choose whether or not to reimburse the fee from escrow at closing.
  • You provide the Staging Consultation as a listing gift. A small investment for a sizeable return.

Great post Shawn. Agents that provide their clients with a home staging consultation do not have to worry about possibly offending the home seller and stand to make more money on their commissions. They also provide a competitive edge over other agents and decrease the odds of having showings without offers.
