What do you do with your stinkers? For Real Estate Agents

Do you feel intimidated or fearful that you won’t get the listing if you tell your client their house stinks like dog pee and no one is going to buy a house that stinks like dog pee? What about the house that has clutter all over the living room and there is no place to even sit down? Are you honest with your sellers and tell them the truth or do you sugar coat the truth and then end up with a horrid listing that is never going to sell in the condition that it is in?

I have been using home staging techniques to get our sellers’ homes in top condition without a lot of outlay of money upfront. I met with a home stager, Victoria, to find out more of her secrets on how she gets a home staged for optimum appeal. The seller can do very simple things like packing up all the clutter and getting rid of old and torn furniture.

Vacant homes can even be filled with rented furniture. Now for Real Estate Agents who do not have time for all this extra work on top of what all we are already doing finding a home stager you can build a relationship with and that home stager can help you sell you listings for top dollar.

This is an overview that Victoria with Staging by Victoria sent to me to help you understand a little more about home staging and how this will benefit us Real Estate Agents:

Staging is the process of preparing any home for sale regardless of price or location. Home buyers are influenced by your home’s layout, furnishings or lack of furnishings, and accessories. Buyers only know what they see, not the way it is going to be. Your home needs to be inviting. The longer a buyer is in your home the more time they have to imagine themselves living there. But clutter, poorly arranged furniture and personal items can reduce your home’s appeal and have buyers running to see the next house.

Staging is not remodeling and is a minimal investment that can have huge payoffs. Statistics show that staged homes sell faster and for more money. The house that looks the best sells first. So beat out your competition by increasing your home’s appeal, stage it.

For Real Estate agents working in a tighter market this may help to sell your listings. The tighter the market the harder it is to sell the ugly and smelly houses! When the market is hot people buy anything they can get their hands on, like a feeding frenzy. But now the real estate market is tougher to deal with and the houses are sitting on the market longer and most of all the houses that are in tip top shape are going to sell before the smelly ones!
