[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It is worrisome selling your property when it’s a BUYER’S MARKET. So many questions have sellers wondering. 1. How long will it take to sell? 2. How much will I get for it? 3. Should I do anything to prepare it for market, because I don’t want to lose any money on it? 4. There are several properties for sale in this area, how do I get mine to standout? 5. What if it doesn’t sell? 6. Who can I get to help me with this? 7. Where do I begin? Let’s start with where to begin. As a seller it is so important to sit down with a Realtor and talk about your concerns. Your Realtor is a professional and they are there to help you through this stressful time. They will show you the competition, past sales that are comparable and give you an appraisal of your property, along with an aggressive marketing strategy. We are finding that the market is shifting to more of a buyer’s market that we are being asked to give Consultations to Realtor’s clients on a more constant basis. What is a Consultation? A Consultation is where a professional stager goes to the client’s home before it goes on the market and gives the homeowner detailed recommendations on preparing their property. We are methodical about how we go about the property and address each room individually in the same format. Easy for the homeowner to follow. We realize that the time, money and work involved play a huge factor in what the homeowner decides to do with our recommendations.  A good stager is there to assist their clients every step of the way. We have a pool of painters, movers, storage facilities, contractors, electricians, plumbers, flooring and landscapers to assist our clients through this process if they require. The last step in preparing a property is what we refer to as staging. That is where showcasing your home to present it at its’ very best. We make sure to show the function and focal point of every room. It doesn’t matter what price range a property is in staging makes a difference. Think about when you are house hunting, what draws you to a place? If it meets the area, size and price range, what else do you look for?  Would you be more drawn to a home that shows beautifully or one that is full of clutter, outdated? Great photos and great staging draw the potential buyers. It’s important to think of presenting your property so that it stands out. Great marketing, photos, staging, pricing are all important and necessary in getting your property sold. You only get one chance to make a first impression.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
