A Home without a Soul is a Hard Sell

                       Did you know that selling a Vacant Home is like selling A Home without a Soul?

It never ceases to amaze me how I can walk into any property and see such great potential...I look around, my mind runs wild...vision upon vision of how absolutely lovely these spaces could be... this here, that there, a space for this, a space for that.

Do you do that? If so , You are in the minority as only 10% of the population have the ability to visualize the full potential of a space. That means that the other 90% will only see what they see.

Soooo...what does that mean for a vacant home? It means 9 out of 10 buyers will see cold, bare spaces that are uninviting and virtually lifeless...Like a home without a soul.

And what's worse...the photos buyers will see online will do nothing to entice them to come see the home in person because a picture of a vacant room is basically a picture of a wall.

                     Buyers buy on emotion, they don't want to buy walls...they want to buy HOMES!

                  This is why Home Staging is such a powerful and effective marketing tool and why

                                        Staged homes sell 2 to 3 times faster and for more money.

Here are some before and afters of a home we just finished staging. It has been on the market for over a year and still no contract. It was a cute home, priced right but totally souless before we arrived. We chuckled as we were reviewing the before photos when beginning to plan the project. "What room is this" we kept saying as they all pretty much looked the same..a wall and a window...a wall and a window!!!
