Friendship is friendship and goes way beyond trivial matters such as a free, over the phone, staging consultation. One of my best friend's is putting her house on the market in the DC Metro area. They've totally retrofitted the house, new windows, doors, roof. Its an older home and needed the work. Soon they will pack up and move to their retirement home in another state, leaving the house vacant, and to the mercy of potential buyers who "might" be able to see the home's potential.
I recently counciled her on the benefits of home staging. Minimal cost, maximum punch! Leave a few pieces of furniture, the blinds, some accessories. Stage the kitchen and bathroom with things you don't need, or go to a discount store and purchase some attractive items.
The answer to all my suggestions was "no, no, and no." "I'm not putting another dime into this house." Her real estate agent is going to give her suggestions. Really? Then why is the REA letting her leave the house vacant? Leaving a toaster on the counter doesn't leave much to the imagination of potential buyers.
The times are tough out there for sellers, its a buyers market. Sellers need to present their homes to potential buyers in such a way that even the most near sighted person can invision the house as "their home." Skipping this essential step is just asking for a house to languish on the market, or almost worse, having to accept an offer below asking.
The time is now to hire a home stager. We can work within your budget to professionally prepare your home for sale. Without us, that longed for sale, probably isn't going to happen anytime soon.
