re: Recipe For A Home Sale

The problem with our listing is the location of our house in the subdisvion. Our neighborhood is desirable but the house is located next to a power station. We have lots of privacy with trees and paved driveway, sidewalks and well established landscaped yard. But you can see the power station behind our property. It is not a negative factor for us but is has been for all prospective buyers. We need to sell because we no longer fit in our house. We lowered our listing price by, to bottom line, $5k to compensate for the location. Any suggestions?

Having a pet during showings around you distract the home buyers. They love the company but they can not remember the home because of the crowd of pets. Pet smell or any odor might be a huge turn off point for possible home buyers.

I agree Dan. Although as home stagers we are constantly faced with the objection of COST of staging regardless of the proven statistics - for some reason it doesn't always translate to the mind of the skeptical public. This is just another way to let people understand the value that we bring and I totally know that there is always a return on that investment!

FREE?? It is a profit center. If I pay a professional stager $500, for example, I expect the value I get back to be greater than my investment. At the very least, and as statistics show, I make money by having my home on the market fewer days than un-staged homes. That in itself will make me much more than $500 - $1,000. You did a great post on ROI here that I really liked. energizedseller.com/.../north-texas-home-staging-consultation-125-return-1-000-on-day-one.aspx

Free! What a great way to put it. It does pay for itself and saving the time on the market is priceless.

Very funny post but so true! Initially, most of my homeowners feel very lost after decluttering and staging their home. And... I assure them that the experience will be liberating and it's a necessary step in letting go of their home to a new buyer. After several days, the sellers can't wait to tell me that they love the sparseness of their home and when they move to a new home, they want it staged to live in the same way. Funny how change can set you free!

Thanks for the tips. I was searching for some tips to give my client who was concerned about the kids and staging.

Great points, Karen! Moving is so stressful on the whole family--and kids have the least amount of control over the process. The whole stress of the selling process is yet another great reason for home staging. Stage, sell faster, end the stressful period sooner and everyone can get on with enjoying the next phase of their lives!

We are all under stress when selling Dan and children often don't show the same signs we do but that doesn't mean they're not being affected. You're right about the fact that the more comfortable they are with the idea of moving (even if sad and stressed) the openness of communication with them can help alleviate that.

Good points Karen. During stressful times especially, children are a roller coaster of emotion. Hopefully, the more comfortable they are with the move the less time they'll feel stressed and depressed about the move.

Laurie Calhoun — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 19:08:10 GMT

Excellent points, Karen! I, too, just hosted family for my oldest's high school graduation, and I, too, cleaned some areas that are clean enough to live with, but not clean enough to show to people. I'll be using that example to try to inspire our clients to keep their homes "company ready". Oh - BTW - do you know what to wish someone who is taking a stay-cation? "Non voyage!"
