| Greetings!
Can you believe it's August already? If your summer has been as busy as mine then it's been good for business. :)
Has it been a summer full of sales for you? Or have you been watching your listings sit month after month with little to no interest?
Now is the time homes really need to stand out above the crowd. Sellers need to recognize how vital staging is to their selling success. It's your job to help them to do this.
Room to Breathe is a key element to your marketing package, but only if sellers understand the value and put staging suggestions into action.
As always, I would love to hear your thoughts. Feel free to share your questions too!
Sincerely,
Jessica
Bringer of Order

Stand Out With Staging! |
|
|
Buying a home is an emotional, multi-sense experience. Home buyers make their decisions based on their emotional reactions to the homes they view-this decision is usually made within the FIRST 15 SECONDS of entering a home! These FIRST IMPRESSIONS are vital, and it is important in any market to make a lasting "feel good" memory of your home. My goal is to make people FALL IN LOVE with your home, and make them feel like they could move in today!
It's not just how your home looks, its how your home "feels" to a prospective buyer. Buyers are not just shopping for a house; they are looking to fulfill dreams and lifestyle ideals. It is necessary to appeal to the buyer on all levels. What they see, hear, touch, and even smell can connect a buyer to the home and persuade them to want to make it theirs. Your home is one of your biggest investments--let Room to Breathe stage your house to sell!
Staging highlights the best features of your property and showcases the space, creating ambience with broad appeal. This allows your home to stand out among competing homes in the same market-leading to a faster sale and top dollar for your home. This is more important now, than ever!

| Staging Facts to Know! |
|
Facts you must know before you sell:
Professional Home Staging can be a significant factor in selling for profits and time spent on the market. Several independent studies have confirmed these observations.
Findings by the National Association of REALTORS show that staged homes sell 50 percent faster than non-styled homes (Denver Post, Feb. 2004).
Staging speeds up sales in a sluggish market and can increase prices from 2 to 10 percent in a moderate market (The Wall Street Journal, April 2003).
Staged homes sell faster in a slow market
Staged homes sell for more money in a hot market
Staged homes look better than competing homes in the same market
Staged homes often appraise for a higher value
Staged homes look better in print and internet advertising
Staged homes allow the potential buyer to mentally "move-in" and picture themselves in their new home
Agents working with buyers recognize these properties as ready to sell and are more likely to show staged homes (more traffic=more potential buyers=your home SOLD)
**Costs incurred by a homeowner to prepare a home for sale, including staging services, are tax deductible in most states. Check with you personal tax advisor for more information.
