Our Secret Weapon...STAGING!

An average home buyer decides if they are attracted to a home with eleven seconds. First impressions are key.

In this digital age, most buyers preview homes online. If a home is empty or cluttered it usually doesn't make the cut and they will never make it to your front door. A staged home photographs well and appeals to a broader range of buyers, in turn bringing more traffic through your home.

In a 2012 HomeGain.com Survey of 600 Real Estate Agents Nationwide, it was discovered that sellers who spent $724 on Home Staging Services for their home received a price increase of $2,145. That's a 196% Return on Investment!!

Home staging seems to be all the rage in Real Estate in the last few years, with good reason! However, Bruce & Tanya have been offering it for their clients for many years. They were staging homes together back before the term was even coined by all the home decorating shows on T.V. Most Realtors have jumped on the staging bandwagon, but most don't offer it for free as a selling strategy. Bruce & Tanya feel so strongly about staging that they include it complimentary as part of their regular services when you list your house with them. This is just one more thing that sets Bruce & Tanya apart from the crowd when it comes to Realtors! They will come to your house and do a staging “walk-through” before your house goes on the market to make suggestions on things that can be done so your home shows at it's best. Tanya and her associates have an unbelievable natural talent for staging. Their keen sense of color choices, furniture placement and décor truly make them a force to be reckoned with. When we stage a house, it sells!

If you would like to ask Tanya for decorating and staging tips for your home, send her a message directly here: Ask Tanya!

According to a National Association of Realtors survey, homes that sold after 4 weeks on the market sold for 6% less than homes sold within the first 4 weeks. Don't be in a position where you have to lower your price. Those first few weeks when your home is on the market are crucial. You will never get that potential buyer back in the door later to see your newly staged home...

Have your home staged first!
