Home Staging Article 1
One recent evening I sat with my husband in the Flower Mound High School stadium watching my son and his teammates play football, I reverted back to a conversation I had with my sellers about the importance of home staging. As I watched the game, I realized something quite profound. The process of selling a home is much like playing the game of football. Every player on the field was striving to out-run, out-tackle, and out-score their opponents on the other side.
Minutes into the game, the quarterback for the Flower Mound Jaguars team threw the ball down the field as my son ran as hard and fast as he could to get there in time to catch it. Rushing past his opponents, stretching out his arms, and catching the ball with the tips of his fingers, he made the 46 yard touchdown. What an awesome play. The photo above was taken as he ran into the end zone for the touchdown.
The students, friends, family, and faculty watching the game that night were wild with excitement and joy! With all the training and conditioning that he and his teammates have accomplished seemed to quickly pay off in that exhilarating moment.
Well, how does the game of football relate to the game of real estate? The answer is simple. When sellers put their properties up for sale, they all have soaring hopes of selling higher and faster with few interruptions and complications than all other competing homes in the neighborhood. Every player in the transaction (buyers, sellers, Realtors, etc.) must train and prepare for weeks, months, and sometimes even years before they are ready to get out on the field. However, talented Realtors who know how to guide their clients to properly prepare their homes for sale will beat the competition every single time.
How do Realtors do it? There are many ways, but the best place to start is with home staging. A Realtor who has the skills necessary to professionally stage a seller’s property will help her sellers beat out all the other competing properties and for more money.
