A "Custom Home" Can Still be Hard to Sell

"Custom" seems to be a buzz word when selling a home in any market; "Custom Home", "Custom Finishes" or "Custom Designed".... Usually this means, "Not a tract home that looks like every third house on the street", however it can also mean, "Designed for a specific taste, which you may love...or not".

Builders like to add those one-of-a-kind touches to their properties to give them that WOW factor, to set them apart and make them memorable. This can definitely work for them, and sometimes against them when selling the home.

If you were a Buyer and saw the picture above, would you know that it was the Formal Dining room? How would YOU feel about it? Would you consider setting up an appointment to go see the rest of the house, or would this be a "deal breaker"? In the Interior Design world this would be a LOVELY addition to a home, and personally one that I got very excited about. However, when stepping back and looking at it with an unbiased eye, it may be very over powering to most buyers and they would not know what to do with such an architectural feature.

Home Staging a 100 Year Old House - and a Nod to the Present

Most would like to think that most homes in Hollywood have a "history" of some sort of a famous person who once lived in them. Truth be told, most that did have a "history" have been either torn down completely or remodeled beyond recognition. This house, however, is one of the originals: almost 100 years old and was home to a famous 1930's Starlet by the name of Helen Twelvetrees.

However, the way her past home had been marketed by FOUR different Brokers/Realtors over the past TWO YEARSI think would make Ms. Twelvetrees roll over. Realtor # 5 was the smart one and called upon Platinum Home Staging, Inc. to make this home shine like a brand new listing.

Is this the Dining Room? Nooo, This is the Dining Room!
