How many times have you heard from a prospective
buyer the following statements?
"It feels cramped"
"I don’t like the paint colors"
"It’s really dark in here"
"What’s this room supposed to be?"
"There’s not enough counter space"
Why is Real Estate Staging so Important?
- Everyone knows the power of a well-presented
model home. We strive to duplicate that “model
home” feeling while eliminating the
guesswork out of any confusing floor plans.
We understand that it’s the power of
emotion that sells!
- We live in a “virtual reality”
era. With internet accessibility and virtual
tours so readily available, it is imperative
that the pictures displayed on the internet
showcase the best possible features of the
homes you represent. Real Estate Staging should
be completed prior to any pictures taken for
internet posting to showcase a room’s
best architectural features.
- Real Estate Staging gives realtors an edge
when soliciting listings that differentiates
them from their competition. “Staging”
is growing globally and is just as valuable
as on-line viewings. In fact, these tools
go “hand in hand” in completing
the overall package of a home to be sold.
Many realtors are now including the benefit
of Staging in their seller’s packages
to clients and are enjoying an increase in
profits from taking advantage of this service.
The goal – to turn over these homes
quicker and for more money!
- With the housing market projections currently
at a low, it is imperative that the home you
represent is presented at its best in order
to stand out from the rest of the homes in
the neighborhood at that particular price
range.
What
Olive Tree Interiors can do for you and your
business:
By
removing a seller’s personal identity
from a property, buyers can easily see and appreciate
the home’s special features. This creates
the positive, lasting first impression realtors
hope to present to their clients.
Olive
Tree Interiors will look at each home through
the buyer’s eyes and minimize any potential
problem areas while showcasing each home’s
best possible features. Our goal is to create
a cozy and inviting space so that it stands
out from the rest of the homes in the same price
range.
A
well staged home is often perceived as being
a well-maintained property and buyers are less
likely to discount their offer for repairs and
improvements. Our process goes beyond “de-cluttering.”
We have a formula that encompasses furniture
replacement and the rearrangement of artwork
and accessories. We also take into consideration
the lighting of a room and the curb appeal of
each home. This process works in all economic
environments. Homes tend to sell faster in a
slow market and to sell for more in an active
real estate market!
The
Bottom Line:
“You
never get a second chance to make a great first
impression.” Buyers will stop in their
tracks within seconds of entering a home when
distracted by confusing furniture arrangements,
disorganization, and clutter. It is our responsibility
to eliminate as many of the emotional feelings
that contribute to the above listed statements
PRIOR TO ANY VIEWING.
Olive Tree Interiors strives to create the
best possible showcased homes and to assist
realtors and brokers with all of their home
presentation needs. If you have a home listing
which may require extra attention, give us a
call. Would you like us to walk with a client
through the inside and outside of their home
while presenting them with a “to do”
list to better showcase their home? Do you have
a listing that requires a complete Real Estate
Staging? Would you like to remove yourself from
the awkwardness of explaining to a homeowner
why they must paint over their “gothic”
black bedroom walls or how they should remove
their collection of 10-foot totem poles from
the dining room? We can help. It is our attempt
to relieve you from the extra responsibility
of ensuring a home is ready for viewing because
we know that your time is valuable.
Give us a call at 281-844-5283 to schedule
your next Real Estate Staging. We look forward
to an opportunity in working with you and hope
to hear from you soon!
