Are You Marketing Property That Doesn't Show Well? | Staging Info
for Agents
Are you a real estate agent in the Kingston, Ontario area? Rearrangements Home Staging Ltd. will ensure the presentation of your listings justifies the asking price.
Are you frustrated by any of these:
- Listing property for sale that doesn't show well
- Spending countless hours helping clients get their properties ready to show
- Asking clients to take price cuts
- Losing listings because they expire
- Selling vacant property that looks drab and boring
- Struggling to help buyers visualize how to use properties with unusual layouts
- Photographing homes that are not properly prepared.
Do you wish you had an ally who could convince your home owner clients to remove their pets, change their dated decor, deal with bad odours in their home or make other necessary changes?
Rearrangements Home Staging Ltd. has professional stagers who are trained to handle these, and many other sticky issues, tactfully. Often home owners seem to act on advice more readily when it comes from an independent third party - your home staging expert.
Do you sometimes feel it's no use telling your clients to make changes because they can't do it on their own? Rearrangements can turn the situation around by providing your clients with the help they need.
After all every price cut lowers your commission too!
"Both your relationship with your client, future referrals and your financial compensation relies on your ability to both move a property expeditiously and to get your seller as much of the asking price as you can. Lowering the price as a strategy does not guarantee a sale, but it does mean that both you and your client will see less out of the deal. Staging a property provides another option." Propertywire.ca 'Staging as Added Value to Your Business'.
Wondering How to Approach the Topic Without Offending Clients?
- Here are some ideas from other real estate agents:
- Offer staging information to all your clients when you are describing how you do business, even before you have gotten into specifics of their home.
- Tell clients "staging seems to help houses sell faster and for better prices."
- Make a staging consultation one of the listing incentives you provide for every client.
When a potential client asks "Do you think we should stage our house?" the only answer guaranteed NOT to get you into hot water is this:
"We will send our professional stager to meet with you."
