Why should you provide home staging as part of your standard package of services?
Simply put, your listings will sell faster if they look better.
Use home staging to be competitive, justify a higher commission, and get more money in the seller’s pocket.
Staging can be a wonderful good-faith gesture, a gift at the beginning of the seller-agent relationship. When staging is done at the beginning, the home looks it’s best for the initial burst of interest that occurs when it first hits the market. It also looks good in the photos for the MLS.
A home that sells quickly means a higher selling price because the home wasn’t on the market long enough to warrant a price drop. A home that sells quickly won’t need advertising or other promotional efforts.
Staging remains a new and unique concept and with television shows featuring the success of a home sale after staging, sellers often consider themselves lucky to find an agent who offers this service.
Staging can be your secret weapon when competing
for listings, and for selling them quickly!
You build your business on referrals. In anticipation of my visit to stage their home, sellers will chat it up with family, friends, co-workers and neighbors. When those people need to sell, they will want the agent who offered staging too.
