It is common knowledge that tourism impacts real estate markets, and Orlando Florida is no exception to this rule. Fun and sun seekers from all over the world fly into central Florida everyday to visit Disneyworld, Universal Studios, Busch Gardens, or the many other, world renowned, central Florida attraction. So many people visit Orlando each year the city's economy is visibly impacted by the influx of capital from tourism.

Luckily high-end tourism or VIP travel is one of the few recession proof markets and the Orlando Florida real estate market is fueled to a large degree by tourism. Droves of affluent tourists the world over come to Orlando Florida yearly to enjoy all that is offered, and some like it so much they want permanency in the region. With the resources available buying a home in the central Florida area is attractive. “We are seeing more and more homes being purchased by out of the area buyers and fully furnished as a vacation home,” say Brad Fletcher, founding owner of Home Staging Design Pros in Orlando Florida. He goes on to say “The trend is undeniable as the dollar weakens against other currencies and property values decline in the United State. People from all over the world are buying their little piece of paradise.

Many real estate professionals around the Orlando area do well marketing to international clientele, most notably English speaking tourists. Whether they are looking to buy preconstruction investment townhouses, condos, vacation homes, or condominiums in our many new luxury high rises, now is the time to do it.

Bottom line is real estate in Orlando Florida is looking more and more attractive to the foreign investor as the dollar weakens, other currencies increase in value and the American housing market declines. Foreign investors that jump on now are the ones that are going to profit. Investment real estate in popular tourist destinations in the USA is very attractive to affluent foreign nationals. They know real estate values in popular tourist destinations are insolated to some degree holding their value during down times. This could be the next booming market over the next several years.

Wealthy foreign and domestic travelers realize real estate in the USA is at rock bottom prices. Do they want to miss out on one of the biggest real estate opportunities of our time in the United States? Of course not, that's why real estate professionals should explore advertising to the global market place, specifically English speaking tourists. “Why English speaking tourists: Simply because the language doesn't present a problem when it comes to communicating marketing messages”, explains Brad, “luckily for Americans the international language of business is English.” “Start locally, move globally”, says Brad, “after working with many realtors with buyers out of the country wanting fully furnished homes in Orlando it is reasonable to consider directing your marketing to reflect the growing trend. Orlando is reasonably well situated to take advantage of the growing international tourist real estate market. The time to think global in the local real estate market is now.

Welcome, and thank you for visiting Home Staging Design Pros blog. We’re here to help!

Home Staging Design Pros provide services which assist home-owners and real estate agents alike, in the preparation of homes for both open house and private showings.

Chances are you’re familiar with the term or concept of home staging. What most people don’t know is why using a home stager is so important, especially when it comes to the sale of their home. Let’s face facts; the real estate market is not what it once was, especially in the Central Florida region. With thousands upon thousands of homes on the market it is imperative that you make sure that yours stands out above the rest. For most people seeing their home through a “buyer’s eyes” is pretty difficult. To make matters worse, research shows that a whopping 90% of potential buyer’s can’t visualize themselves living in the home they are touring. If they can’t see themselves in it, they won’t buy it. It’s that simple. What we do is make your home into a place that will shine in a potential buyer’s eyes. We’ll help them see your old home as their own new home. We give you the tools to make your home a showplace that buyer’s will love.

Ask yourself the following questions....

Has your home been on the market with little or no interest?

Have you reduced the price of your house, only to see it still sit on the market?

When you drive through your neighborhood do you see “For sale” signs everywhere?

You want to make your home look its best and stand out in a crowd but aren’t sure how to go about it?

Do you see some things in your house that you love but aren’t sure how to display them to maximize their appeal?

Do you love your house but feel that the furniture just doesn’t fit or your house doesn’t “flow” well?

Is the potential of selling your home 50% faster and for 6-10% more worth a small investment?

Do any of these apply to you? If so, then maybe it’s time to consult with Home Staging Design Pros.

Are we victims of our own perception? We are constantly educating clients regarding the importance of staging a vacant home. It’s difficult for most people to visualize space relationships without a base of references to go by. Empty spaces just look smaller then they really are.

Space can be deceiving even for professionals that work with it on a daily bases. Help buyers see the space in a home for what it can be through staging, not what it is empty and cold. A vacant home will always benefit from even sparse accoutrements. Staging clears away the misperceptions of space relationships and helps people see the possibilities.

• Staging is a buyer’s friendly helper.
  
• Staging shows off the possibilities.
  
• Staging provides that much needed base of reference.
  
• Stage it today, sell it tomorrow!

PS: Our initial in-home consultations are always complimentary so you have nothing to lose by contacting us today. Lets work together to get that home staged to sell!

Why not use a stager that offers free consultations? If the service is free and beneficial to all parties concerned it's a missed opportunity if a seller or Realtor doesn't use a stager.

First of all using a stager shows the seller that they are being well represented, and by a Realtor that is willing to use all the assets available. A free home staging consultation can never hurt, on the contrary a free home staging consultation sets the stage for a sales environment. If services are excepted then may the staging begin, if not the seller is always imparted with helpful information that will help them in the process. At the very least it's a set of eyes that are looking at the home from a buyers perspective and eager to convey the information to the seller.

Lots of home stagers offer free consultations. Use these consultation to set the seller on their way to seeing their home as their most valuable commodity and showing it in its best light. Never leave it up to chance. Most often home owners have lots of fond memory in their home and they might passively or unconsciously resist the sale. Begin to over come this with the help of a home stager.

Home stagers will literally set the stage to make sales happen. They inherently help the seller distance themselves from their home. As the professional home stager progresses through the presentation it’s just natural for the seller to start to see their home as a commodity and detach themselves from their home. The seller starts to see staging as a marketing opportunity that doesn’t only make sense but it makes them a lot of money in their pocket.

Realtor should use stagers as a tool to add intrinsic value for your client and pave the way to a much more willing seller ready to part with their home. Using stager can cost nothing and actually creating a seller that works with you to sell the home because they see the value in helping the sale along.

Help your client by finding a stager that offers free consultations and engage them on every listing for the free consultation. Stagers are here to help you!
