It All Happened in 96 Hours - Atlanta Home Staging

After sitting on the market for 11 months, the frustrated homeowner (who is also a real estate agent) elected to use our home staging services. He had "tested the waters" with our staging by taking one of his vacant listings and had us stage it. That listing had also sat on the market for almost a year without a single offer. After staging, the home was under contract in 7 days!

Having shown him how valuable bringing furniture and accessories can have on a home, he elects to have his own home staged.

The results:  5 Offers in 96 Hours!!  

Receiving 5 offers in 96 hours was life altering and I could not be more thrilled for him.

Here's his testimonial:

I have been a real estate agent for 17 years in the metro Atlanta area, so I am not new to the business.  However, after working with you, I am sold on the idea of staging homes.  I listed both my own personal residence and another listing in March/April of 2012.  They both sat on the market without a lot of traffic.  We staged the first one and within 7 days of the staging, had an acceptable offer on the house.  Using this as my guide, I staged my own house, and had 5 offers within the first 96 hours.  What a great service you offer.  I did not think that I could afford to stage my own house, truth is that I could not have afforded not to stage it.  Thanks for all of your help!!!

Did the Realtor® change anything else.  I ask this because if a house sits on the market for a while and the activity slows down, just staging will do nothing to generate more traffic.  So, did the price also change to generate new interest or just staging and updating the pictures on the MLS?

Kathy- Your staging made a WORLD of difference I am sure. Staging definately tips the scale and it is really awesome when Real Estate Agents see the value first hand! You always "ROCK IT".

Hi Kathy, another agent has been converted to a believer! Yeah!!!!  Now please spread the word, it often makes a huge difference coming from one agent to another. There are still the agents out there that will tell you this was coincidence, but really, I do think the staging was the deciding factor. Your work is impeccable.

Here's further insight into the pricing change. Direct from the agent:

I did change the price, however it was bid up over $100,000.  That agent used to be 'me'.  You changed my mind.  New photos and staging do indeed increase traffic.
