My realtor is real happy with Stage-Show-Sell...Example #1 Royal Oak

Like many stagers I've been working on a good relationship with a realtor. After several months and many successful sales he BELIEVES

He knew that this house would have sold for tens of thousand less without the work of Stage-Show-Sell.

We had an offer within a couple of weeks, which un-fortunately fell apart when the buyer lost his job just before closing.

The home continued to receive great attention from the buying public and had another offer shortly.

There have been times, when staging a home, that the neighbors houses haven't looked their best. This is especially true, now, with all the foreclosures on the market.

I'm currently working on a modest home and the neighbors houses leave a lot to be desired. I expect some on it is the economy and it takes money to keep up the houses. Most of it is just pure .........

These photos are of one neighbor

This is the view from the bedroom window

It's obvious that the cars have not been moved in a very long time.

The other neighbor has a great back yard

These homes are going to hurt the sale of the house I'm working on. I've talk to the owner, who is out of state and she's afraid of upsetting her old neighbors.

Is it my duty to call the city and report these homes? Is it the Realtors job to do something about it?

Or have we done our duty by reporting it to the owner?

What does a Jolly Jumper

Tri Cycles

Baby swings

running boys

roller skates

and staging supplies have in common?????????????

My basement

My basement uses through the years has changed constantly. The boys were small and we used the Jolly jumper attached to the rafters. My laundry was in the basement and it's the only way I could get my laundry done.

As they grew older the basement had swings and punching bags.

When the winters were really bad they learned to bike and roller skate.

The next step in the basement life was holding the family computer. My son was in the 4th grade when we purchased our first computer system.

Boys grow up and it changed again. Mainly it became a place to dump things.

This winter I decided to make the basement usable again.

It now holds my Staging Supplies. It will never be neat and totally organized because supplies keep coming and going.

The basement is not large enough to hold the furniture. That's spread out through the house.

Painted ceiling and walls. Shelves for tons of art and decor

Please note the exercise equipment and inversion machine.

There's no dust on them because I use them.

No more hunting for the right table cloths or curtain

My TV is hidden on the shelves for my enjoyment and company while working and exercising

These shelves once held the kids toys and now they hold 86 pillows

Closet for all bathroom supplies

Art work and more art work

I love this room. It used to my my husbands tool room. It's been taken over with lamps and flowers.

There is space for me to frame art and experiment

This closet used to hold the kids out of season snow clothes and now hold a dozen or more trees

I don't want to invest in a bunch of faux foods so I've been playing with my own creations. Will my Jello pass the eye test?

I used a old receipe for finger jello and adapted it a little.

Not everyone drinks coffee in bed

For those who would prefer the table

The Jello lasted two weeks before I had to toss it out. Now I'm looking for other ways.

The agent said no staging and the Seller Can't afford it and she Won't mention it to them.

How many times have you heard this?

How can agents decide for the sellers what the seller can and can't afford?

The blog I did on fiduciary responsibility says how I feel about that.

It should be in every agent listing package that they have a stager on their team. They should recommend that the seller talk to a stager. Don't assume that the seller can't afford it.

The agent on this home has now helped the seller reduce the price by $90,000 and it's not going to be a short sale.

Don't you think SOME staging could have helped out? It's hard to say where the wallpaper ends and the bed begins.

Same house. This is the 2nd bedroom??

We know the seller is an Obama fan

Now look at the office that makes you want to get right to work

Dining Room?

Stagers Can Help Sellers from going thru one price reduction after another. We can stop you from helping to sell the competition

The agent of this home didn't know about Staging when this house was listed for a long time.
