3. The worse thing a seller can do is nothing!
“There’s a funny statistic about people: 90% of us think that we’re above average drivers.
I think that 90% of the people also think they have the nicest house in the neighborhood. Their houses are fine as they are, and they should get top dollar with multiple offers almost immediately.” Sarah Cooper “Be my bad cop”

63. Here’s what Realtors have to say about staging:
“I always offer home staging to my potential listings and explain the advantages, some sellers say they can't afford it, which is silly as prices range from $500 to $3000 and can often help get a quick sale (can we say no mortgage payments!) and full asking price (show me da money!) However if my sellers refuse to stage, then I tell them I will bring my own touches and ideas, I move furniture and lend them staging props, anything to make the house more inviting.” L. Kastendick, Prudential Americana Group Realtors

64. “…The house is a completely different look now- pulled together
“…The house is a completely different look now- pulled together.  (The Staging) advice made the good features even more obvious.  We are planning on offering this service to every single listing.  By the way, we've had the listing for 29 days- in the previous year, there was one offer, total.  Looks like we have number two for us coming this week. ” L. Mindrich NY

65. “Professional home stagers broaden the appeal of your listings, which means faster sales for more money…Every person who tours your listing should find it appealing. They should be drawn to its best features and feel how it will fit their lifestyles.” Ward Lowe Texas Realtor® March 2005

REAL ESTATE STAGING STATISTICS
Article by Cari Pilon
In 2003 a survey was conducted of the general membership of the international redesign organization, I.R.I.S. (Interior Redesign Industry Specialists) to compile statistics on homes that had been staged prior to their sale. Of the 21 states represented by membership response, these are the average percentages reflected in the survey results.
Speed of Sales:
5% of all staged homes sold the same day
2% of all staged homes sold within 2 days
9% of all staged homes sold within 3-5 days
84% of all staged homes sold within 5-30 days
Dollar of Sales:
The survey posed the question: "How much over the "asking" price have your staged homes sold for?"
39% responded the homes sold for up to $4,999 over asking price.
45% responded the homes sold for $5,000 – $49,999 over the asking price.
16% responded the homes sold for $50,000-$200,000 over the asking price.
