All the World’s a Stage

All the World’s a Stage

In the July issue of Home Delivery there was an excellent blurb about staging one’s home for selling. This is good stuff even for those of us in the “north woods” who may be selling our homes or thinking about selling in the near future.

“Does your home have a façade only a homeowner could love? Selling a home can be an emotional experience, and people can lack objectivity when it comes to their own abode. Presenting a home in its best light is always important, but it’s imperative in a competitive market. Professional advice and assistance can make the difference between “Wow!” and “Whaaa?” - a recent industry study found that staged homes sold for 6.9 percent more than homes that were not staged. Another study compared listing times before and after staging. Homes that had first been offered for sale without staging were on the market an average of 4.5 months; the same homes sold within a week, on average, after being staged.”

Believe me the market is competitive and I concur that staging is very helpful in addition to some other ideas we have put together. For more information on designers and staging give us a call at 715-634-2110.

We have received much needed rain this week; the end of the week and weekend forecast is for sun and 80 degree weather; come see us!

Life is good, Enjoy!
