For Realtors®

Recent statistics show that 63% of buyers today prefer to pay a higher price for a home that is 'move in ready'.

58% of buyers made a decision to buy after seeing 10 properties – effective staging keeps your house on the list of 'must-see' properties.

Benefits for the Realtor®

  1. Helps to keep a positive relationship with the seller. Hiring a stager reduces the risk of having an uncomfortable relationship with your client. Instead of having to tell them what is 'wrong' with their home, stay focused on the positive and let us tell them what improvements need to be completed in order to secure the most equity from their property.
  2. 87% of buyers start their search on the Internet.
    Professionally staged homes show better on print and advertising. Make sure that your listings are the must-see properties.
  3. Save valuable marketing money. Hiring a Professional Stager increases exposure and marketing as the property will be advertised through the Stager also. This, combined with a faster selling time, saves marketing dollars.
  4. 98% of real estate professionals surveyed believe it was necessary to hire professional stagers... yet only 20% of those surveyed have actually hired a professional home stager. Improve your professional image by being one of the first to KNOW what really works in selling homes.
  5. Professional Home Staging eliminates buyers' haggling over little things to bring the price down. What they see is a well maintained, cared for property. This image for the buyer carries through to their overall image of the value of the property.
  6. The average seller in Canada is over 57, but the average buyers are around 32. Let us bridge the distance between the seller and the buyer by using lifestyle-selling skills to target the appropriate market.

Suggestions for working with Trisha Dempsey Home Staging to help sell your listings

* Encourage your sellers to have their property professionally staged. Let them know that the investment of Home Staging is far less than their first price reduction. The most viewings of a property happen in the first 2 weeks. Staging a home BEFORE it is put on the market provides the best potential for a quick and lucrative sale.

* Give your clients the gift of a Professional Home Staging consultation upon listing. This will let your clients know that you are committed to selling their house with the best possible results. Both you and your client will benefit from a faster, more equitable sale.

* Designate marketing dollars for full professional staging services. Having the property sell faster and for more money will result in valuable savings of your hard earned time and money. Take advantage of the marketing edge staging provides and offer professional staging services in support of your fees for selling a house.
