SOLD! REALTORS®
enjoy saying it and sellers love to hear it. So what are top
selling Realtors doing to get the house sold? STAGING!
Home
staging is the art of merchandising a home so it appeals to the
most number of buyers.
It
is a marketing tool that can help sell a home faster than the
competition, especially in today's competitive and slower
market. And,
in a hotter market,
staging can help sell a home for more money.
ASPs™
(Accredited Staging Professionals) work with Realtors to provide the seller the
best plan for selling their house faster and for the most
money. The Staging Plan is a comprehensive, written
consultation (with photos) that provides the Realtor and/or seller
a focus on the marketable features of the
home: clutter, cleanliness, condition, color, flow and purpose.
The seller can implement the plan themselves or acquire
additional assistance from home improvement specialists and/or
home stagers.
