There are two components I have found over the years that really make a big difference in how much a seller will get for his house and how fast it will sell. In order for these components to work properly you must have your home priced correctly for the market you are selling in, or the components will not work.

The first component is staging. What is staging and how does it help you sell your house? The act of making an unfurnished house appear lived in to entice buyers to purchase the property. The goal is to make the buyer feel at home when he/she tours the property. Home staging is popular because it provides the buyer with an idea of how furniture could be placed in the home and how much space will be available when it's furnished. The impact of home staging If done well, staging makes a remarkable difference." We took over a house that was on the market for six months, didn't change the price, staged it, and it sold in 18 days," says Realtor? Paul Conti of San Jose, Home staging is effective because it emphasizes a property's strengths and minimizes its weak points. It gives your that house a positive first impression.

Builders and sellers can't afford to not stage their homes because staging increases the home's perceived value. Staged homes sell for about 6% more on average ? if your goal is to sell your home at the best price, your house needs to look its best.

Photography is the second component that needs to be right in order to get your house sold quickly and for more money. As you know most people start their home search online, You only have a few seconds to attract buyers and agents and those pictures of your home will determine whether your house is put on the list to be shown. Photos will show up in all the advertising and marketing you do, and those photos need to be INCREDIBLE! Photos get people excited to see more and they are one of your most important tools for increasing showings seen in person.

I have studied many listings over the years to figure out why that home wasn't selling and many times the problem was that the photos did not reflect the home. Perhaps the angle at which the photos were taken wasn't right, maybe the lighting was all wrong.

I think you will agree spending money on beautiful staging and then having terrible photos of your house is a total waste of money. Proper Staging and professional photography go hand in hand and increase and enhance the value of your home in the minds of buyers.

I feel so strongly about staging and professional photography that I include it as a free service when sellers list with me. My goal is to get the highest possible price foe my clients and the best way to do that is to provide professional staging and photography.

I provide this as a free service when I list at a 6% commission. You are probably asking how much does home staging cost?

. Home staging can cost anywhere from $2,000-$6,000 for a vacant home depending on its square footage. After staging, the home stager charges a rental fee of $2,000-$2,400 per month for a fullystaged home which means all rooms of the home are staged. If a seller is willing to pay for their own staging I am happy to adjust my fee by the amount.

I have a wonderful professional photographer I

I have been using for years. I pay for the professional photographer out of my commission fees. My photographer also shoots a tour of my listing which I use to send to about 2000real estate agents and their waiting buyers. My email is simple it just says, if you have a buyer for a home like this please forward to your buyer. In about 21/2 hours I can expose my new listing to many agents and their waiting buyers which usually leads to showings and fast sales.

I also have 2 more unique components to my marketing plan. I have found that buyers are willing to pay top dollar for homes as long as they do not have to do anything to the homes. So, we do a pre-home inspection and all work orders are completed prior to the house going on the market, The next component is the seller provides a one year home warranty for the buyer.

My marketing plan is very detailed and unique. It takes negotiation power away from the buyer and gives to you the seller, this article is too short to go into all the details of my marketing plan so if you would like find out more please feel free to contact me. I believe in single party representation, so you never have any conflicts of interest.
