2. Added value - don't be left behind your competition - if you don't offer staging as part of your services, other realtors will! And the clients might
make their listing decision based on that small extra service...
3. Faster turnover of your listings - you will spend less time, effort and money per listing and will increase your earnings by turning the properties over quicker.
4. Increased client satisfaction - offering to stage a client's house will demonstrate to them that you are going an extra mile in your efforts. The
property will look better and the client will thank you for it (he/she might even pick up some valuable decorating tips for their next house).
5. Allows you to focus on your core business - listing and negotiating the sale of a property - not helping clients with detailed suggestions on what needs
to be done and how to do it. Will you spend hours discussing colors, decluttering, fixing, furniture repositioning and accessorizing? A Stager can prepare your listing for showings, all you'll have to do is show up!
6. Avoid delicate situations - sometimes, giving advice can put you in an awkward position (i.e. odors, wrong color paint, outdated decor, dirt, disagreements on work to be done between family members, etc.). Instead, you'll look professional and neutral by suggesting a Staging consultant to discuss these matters with the client.
7. Better than a price reduction - a client will probably not be too happy if you suggest a price reduction - try explaining the benefits of staging their
property instead. And it's cheaper than reducing the price!
