Staging Quotes
>It works because many Buyers...cannot visualize what it could be - they
only see what it is now - and they don't like it. Surely you've had a Buyer
say - I don't like this carpet!! <
Corny but true famous sayings of Barb Schwarz:
"If you can SMELL it...you can't SELL IT!"
"Start packing, because you ARE moving!"
"The investment in staging is less than your first price reduction."
"Detail your house like you detail your CAR!"
"Clutter EATS Equity!"
"You can't SELL it if you can't SEE it." (house hidden inside the
"landscaping"
"Buyers (and appraisers) only know what they SEE...NOT what it is GOING TO
BE!"
One of the weirdest things she said in the class was "We are not selling
HOLES!" She was talking about open toilets. But I swear I hear her saying
that every time I see the open hole of a toilet in an mls photo, and she's
right. Close that toilet before taking the picture.
Hi Megan, I have two homes right now that are totally empty
and they are very white and very vacant....I keep a closet
full of "little treasures" for just such an occasion.
The living room gets a big colorful throw rug and a couple
of wooden folding chairs, I lean at least 1 picture or
mirror (that I've picked up at garage sales for a buck or
two) on each wall. The dining room gets a small round top
table with a long skirt and a colorful dish (again, garage
sales bargains).....Each bedroom gets a big colorful
comforter laid out on the floor so people can visualize
where their bed will be and still be able to see that their
dresser or TV cabinet will fit in also. The bathrooms get
some pretty towels on the towel bars. Every room has just
one small touch of red to draw the eye to whatever I feel is
the most important 1st impression. (silk flowers I've picked
up at tag sales, cheap) I then use "HomePlanPro" to draw
up a floor plan and place furniture in the rooms so people
can see how they will live in the home.......buyers love to
take floor plans home with them......One of my two vacants
is now under contract while other identical homes in the
neighborhood are still on the market and I have multiple
offers coming in on the other one tomorrow, according to the
agents that called me earlier this afternoon.
My collection of "treasures" were very inexpensive but they
are tasteful. No junk, just a little used.

i had one once where i just couldn*t get anyone even to make an offer... so I took Seller to Rent A Center and picked out enough furniture for the first floor only...
it sold within 1 wk... Seller hated my choices, but Buyer wanted to buy the Sellers furniture it fit the house so well and it wasn*t expensive and Seller paid for it.... |
