Attracting Buyers:

Home staging and photography is an important first step in preparing your home for sale. When properly done, it can have a dramatic impact on the demand for and final price of your home.

Staging your home As your broker, one of the complimentary services I offer is a staging professional who comes to you for a consultation on the best staging options for your home. The stager will compile a recommended staging plan for your home and then you have the option to either do the staging yourself, or for a reasonable fee, have the stager do the setup work for you. If your home is vacant, the stager will put together a recommended furniture package to showcase the various rooms of your house with rental furniture. The process of staging can increase the perceived value of your home and will maximize the buyers’ impression of your home as they tour it virtually and in person. Before staging, your home is likely to have a strong imprint of your unique taste, furnishings, colors, and decorating style. All of which can distract the focus of the buyer. After staging, the best features of your home are brought to the foreground, allowing buyers to imagine your home as their own. Our preferred staging partner is Pam Ellis, website: http://www.ellis-designs.com/

Photographing your home “Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution.” - Ansel Adams Professional photography is an essential attribute to a great home listing, in that the vast majority of potential buyers first impression of your home is going to be virtual. The photographer we have selected as our preferred partner has a unique ability to highlight a home’s voice in pictures and will make your house stand apart from the others. This added service is also complimentary, and once your home is staged our photographer will begin to put together a series of pictures that will bring buyers into your home virtually and let them begin to visualize themselves living there. This is a powerful tool as the potential buyer begins to take mental ownership, as it motivates them into the action of coming to see the house, which is has been artfully staged… Our preferred photographer partner is John Willbanks, website: http://www.jwphoto.com/
