This month's staging
tip: De-personalize the house by removing everything with "eyes" - photos, portraits, pets, prize goldfish, stuffed deer heads, etc.

Should you "Merchandise" your listings?
Why does one T-shirt sell for $100 and
an identical one sell for $9.99? The expensive version has a big name on the label, and it is neatly folded in a fine boutique
with glamorous salespeople. The cheap T sits in a plain store on a metal rack. It's
all about context and packaging. And it's the same in real estate. A staged home is ready to receive buyers, with all its
selling points "neatly folded" and on display. A staged home romances the buyer, putting him in the mood to make an
emotional connection with a house. Home staging transforms any house into a model home, making it more like that fancy boutique
than a discount store. And when a buyer falls in love with a house, because it looks and feels like his dream home, he makes a
higher offer and makes it more quickly. He doesn't see flaws that make him want to whittle away at the asking
price. He wants to grab the house quickly before someone else does.
Staging is not expensive!
It's a small investment with high returns. Staging benefits all homes, regardless of size, price, condition, or
location. Tell your clients that Showcase Your Space is the merchandising arm of your real estate team. Call us today for a
