I have spent years researching and learning my trade. The industry has changed dramatically since I started. It has even changed dramatically in the last 12 months. We are doing so much more now to sell homes than we ever did previously. Realtors today are spending as many hours in their week learning about new home staging techniques, search engine optimization, web presence, social media, online advertising, and pricing as they do previewing, selling, and negotiating contracts.
One area I have introduced recently is the home staging process and the positive results it gets. I have partnered with Margaret Oscilla, of Creative Concepts and Contracting to do a comprehensive consultation with each one of my sellers. If you are interested in learning more about home staging, read her blog. It is packed with free home staging tips and techniques.
My sellers at 6849 Lemongrass Loop SE have recently completed their home staging appointment and recommended repairs. We are thrilled with the results. This is what Gail had to say when asked why she considered home staging:
Their home in Cinnamon Hill is beautiful. Now, we need a buyer. If you or anyone you know needs to buy a home, please ask them to contact me immediately. Interest rates are at an all time low and prices are cheap, cheap, cheap!!!
When you list your home with me, you will receive a Comprehensive Home Staging Consultation. Margaret and I will go thru your property and evaluate your home from the curb to the back fence! We will evaluate what can be done to improve buyer appeal and how you can do it yourself to save money. If you do not have the interest in doing it yourself, we will make recommendations on subcontractors you can interview and hire.
Home staging has provided my clients a real advantage in this competitive real estate market. Currently there is a 12 month supply of homes on the market in the Willamette Valley. If your home is not properly marketed, priced, and staged it will not sell.
When you need to buy or sell real estate, you need a professional who offers the best service in today’s marketing and technology. I want to be that agent so email me Laura@ViewSalemHomes.com or just leave a comment below!
