Dear Homeowners and Realtors: Think of ME as Your New i-Whatever!

By
Home Stager with Owner, The Refreshed Home White Plains NY

Dear Homeowners and Realtors:

When you got your last electronic gadget, did you take it out of the box, and just start using it?

Well, you probably wanted to. Maybe you even tried to.

But chances are the new model had programs and capabilities you were not familiar with. There were things you had to set up, and personalize.

You needed time to experiment, and get used to it; understand what was on it, what else could be added, and how it worked with everything else, so it'd fit into your best way of doing things.

Maybe you even found it had things you had NO idea you needed...until you saw how well it worked, then, reflecting, realized the value it could hold for you.

One thing you surely learned from the previous gadget-if you didn't do this first, you ended up wasting even more time and losing professional face along with your calls, emails and photos-right?

OK...now substitute ME-a living, breathing, charming and experienced  Westchester County Home Stager-and the concept of Home Staging-for your above-imagined new i-whatever.

If you 'get' the value of putting time in up front to understand all (this HomeStager/your new i-whatever) can do to make your life easier and business better-make the time, call me now! Whole-house interactive consults start at $285.00 (two hours in house, plus detailed email report after), remote consults also available, and new agents get one free consult to pass on as they see fit.

Spring Market will wait for no one, BE ready, BE that agent who has already incorporated this tool into their presentation!

Our spaces affect us profoundly...and so many other parts in our life fall into place when our spaces and possessions serve us in the best way they can. But getting there is much more than a pursuit of pleasing aesthetics.

 

Decorating and Staging are different, but much of the skill sets overlap, and each creates unique solutions that considers the needs, goals, resources, expectations, hopes and dreams of each client.

Bettering Westchester, Putnam and lower Fairfield counties since 1981, The Refreshed Home works collaboratively, and brings a thoughtful approach to the creative process. Proud to make a difference, as well as make a living. Offering specialty services such as remote and buyer consults, listing photo/video styling, guided and accompanied shopping, and accessory rental. We get in, get out, and you get on with your life.  Talk to me TODAY about how we can better your space!

MICHELLE! A good friend just upgraded today, it annoyed him how much he spent, and how long it took, but was still awed by all it could do, and what it would save him...so the proverbial light bulb went off...(and funny, was just reading YOUR post!)

So true. In this day and age the agent with the best value add proposition gets the business. People want to know what sets us apart, and a great home stager helps make a compelling case.

Good morning Marie. I can certainly relate to this. Like Valerie, I had an iphone to deal with and felt like an idiot for three days until I got help from a young secretary. Great post.

Marie,  WOW $285 for a whole house consultation!!!!  That is incredible and such a great use of funds.  Sellers need to realize they will sell their home faster and for more money when a stager assist Refreshing the Home!

Hi Marie, clever, clever post! love the comparison. the average person uses 1% of what their i product can do for them. it is the same with staging servcies. we have so much to offer to an agenta and a seller.

Very clever post and approach to marketing your business.  I hate learning new technology....got an iPad recently and I'm taking my time getting the hang of it.

Marie, really creative post that most everyone can relate to. That was interesting what Michelle said about the percentage of functionality the average person uses on their electronic gadget.

Love the "charming" - so true!  With all the technology out there today - and more to come - it's also great to have a human face and skills (like yours!) to really put the personal touch on a transaction that can make so many sellers anxious.  Does that make sense?  Happy New Year!

Sharon-"STAGING" seems to evoke a pre-determined, and often visceral reaction, maybe drawing parallels is the way to do it?

NICK! I know, I love that statistic. A little scary, considering people are already jonesing for the next i-whatever...

Julia! Happy New Year! SO nice to see you, and yes, I know what you mean. We both know how important this is to our clients...and it IS the future.
