Hi Lauren,

I might suggest that you change the title of this blog. This is truly the killer testimonial for staging and it is shame it hasn't seen more traffic...I'm wondering if a more attention-getting title would do it?

 

It's amazing the difference staging can make.  And your testiment shows that it's not only the buyer's who can be blown away, but the appraiser as well.  Great post!

Yea.... Lauren.... all the way from Frisco. Good job. You deserve such awesome testimonial.

 

Its amazing to me what staging can really do for a home. I try to have small touches in every single home that I have listed. It makes a world of difference especially in a vacant home. It also helps the home feel so much warmer and the buyers feel like they could live there. One thing that really blows my mind is when you walk into a home and its colder than it is outside. I can understand heating costs are rising, but the if the only thing I can remember about a home is how cold I was as my teeth were chattering and my clients had to take their kids to the car to get them warm, maybe the seller has the heat turned down a little to low. My advice at least make it slightly warmer than outside.

The empty home gives people a false sense of space contrary to what one might think>  Most buyers like to see a home w/ furniture and how the pieces are places.  Mentally it gives them a clear picture of where to place their furniture.  If it looks warm and inviting it sure is a plus!

Even appraisers are influenced by the WOW factor then!  What a great story, thanks for sharing :)
