“I’VE NEVER USED A STAGER BEFORE…” PART 3

This is the last of a 3 part series that addresses many of the questions we receive from Realtors and home owners who are calling a stager for the first time. In the first article, we talked about the first steps Preferred Staging takes when you call us and schedule an appointment to see your listing, including consultations and proposals. In the second article, we described how we present our proposals and generally how the staging process works. This week I'm going to tell you how Preferred Staging keeps working for you after the staging is completed.

Preferred Staging offers a variety of services to our clients, from staging occupied homes to vacants, color consultations, and redesign. Add to that list the use of our "after" photos for your MLS listing and marketing. My advanced degree in Architectural History and working for over five years with architectural photographs and documents for the National Park Service contribute to my knowledge of taking a good interior and exterior photo. All of my photos are taken at a high resolution with a wide angle lens, and all photos are perspective corrected, as well as color corrected and balanced prior to printing or posting. At this time, we offer these photos to the listing agents for free.

Preferred Staging is also a big believer of using technology to market properties, especially blogging. We blog about every property we stage on two different blogs as well as in local blogs, and we also highlight each property in our newsletter, which reaches about 5,000 Realtors in the Northern Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, DC metro area.

Besides our own website, we also list your property on Preferred Staging's web page on StagedHomes.com, which gets over 10 million hits a day. That's even MORE exposure for your listing in places that are complimentary to your Realtor's web listings.

We look forward to working with you to stage your house and help it sell quickly and for top dollar.
