Simply Staged Inc - Rockford Area Home Staging Blog: June 2008

What do they want?  RESULTS! 

On the heels of several staging successes, I decided to share the results with area Realtors.  I sent an e-mail with one photo of each home, indicated "days on market" prior to staging and "staged and under contract" days! (of course your stats need to be impressive and it helps to have multiple examples)

I asked the simple question, "Are you realizing these results with your listings?  If not, maybe it's time to try staging".  (And my contact info & photo)

That was it.  The e-mail resulted in several phone calls, jobs and requests to forward my e-mail to their clients.  Realtors wanted to show "results" to their home sellers in order to sell the idea of staging.

I have sent e-mails, newsletters, mailings etc. in the past with good results, but you can't dispute acutal "results".  Share your successes in your area and I would guess you will see similar "results".

Good Luck!

I always appreciate the Charm of an older home.  Five fireplaces, butler's pantry- the list goes on and on.  Here are some photos of a vacant dutch colonial recently staged located along the Rock River in IL with georgeous views! 

There are alot of photos here, but the home is large.  Believe it or not there are many more rooms staged that I didn't include just because of the amount of pictures already in this post. Thanks for viewing!

This home was on the market for 8 months.  Staged and under contract in 3 weeks!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beautiful home with a spacious kitchen.  That sounds like a good thing, right?  However, because the kitchen was so large (not all shown in photo) it felt cold and sterile when it was vacant.  Staging allowed the potential buyers to visualize themselves working and living in the space.

Belvidere IL home on the market for four months.  Staged and under contract in two weeks!  (Received two offers the first week after being staged)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The home is in great condition, upgrades have been made, priced right, and excellent location.  So why weren't the offers coming in?  It was hard for prospective buyers to visualize the space.  Staging provided the "homey" feel that allowed buyers to picture themselves living in the space.
