Home Staging Benefits the Real Estate Agent
There is one thing you can do that can, and will, make both of these things happen: home staging. A professional home stager is trained to find the home's selling points and then redesign a room around those points to impress buyers immediately.
Here are some statistics you should know concerning home staging:
*Staging costs less than a price reduction and keeps your commission from going down!
*Your listing will stand out because the home will be "move-in" beautiful.
*Homes that have been staged sell for more, thus increasing the property values in the entire area.
*Vacant homes sell faster when they are staged. This is true if even only a few rooms are staged!
*When sales are slow, staged homes sell 50% faster.
As the market shifts and homes begin to "sit on the market," you need a solution or competitive advantage to offer discouraged home sellers. You need solutions that get their homes sold. That edge is home staging.
Home staging is a win-win proposition. You may be getting a higher commission, but that means your client will be getting a higher price for their home and get more of their equity!
