My Highly Effective 25 Point Marketing Plan
If you are thinking about selling your home please give me a call to discuss my marketing plan. Here are just a few of the things that I do:
-I have a professional stager who is part of my team who will provide a free consultation to help sell your home quicker and for more money. Homes that are stage sell quicker and for more money. I am one of only a few Realtors that use staging-most won't invest staging. The article below reiterates that the investment is worth it...my staged listings average sold time is within 90 days.
The housing downturn means homes are sitting unsold for longer periods of time, and the large number of properties on the market in turn translates into increased competition among sellers for buyers. In response, demand for stagers is on the rise, according to the International Association of Home Staging Professionals, which estimates that sales time can be cut in half and resale value boosted by about 6.9 percent by hiring a stager. For fees of about $500 to $5,000, paid by the real estate agent, the seller, or both stagers eliminate clutter, get rid of personalized items, and rearrange furnishings to help prospective buyers picture themselves in the house. "Homes are filled with our life, but the way we live in a home and the way we sell a home are two different things," says Karen Sebok of Monterey, Calif.-based Carmel Home Staging.
