To water.....but you can't make him drink. I just completed a mini staging in a vacant house...I met the realtor at the property to submit a bid....the home was impressive but lacked a vision for the use of the space for potential buyers. We took the few pieces of furniture that were in the home and moved them to the difficult space (what a difference it made) as an experiment I brought in some props I had in the car, area rug, pillows, dinnerware, placemats, centerpieces, props, etc. I did this to give the homeowner a taste of what my "staged" homes could be. The transformation was incredible...but unfortunately the homeowner considered this an expense instead of investment...he wanted his realtor to pay for my service which she was not in the position to do...so I had to go unstage the property...what a shame.
I truly believe that if he had made the small investment he would have had an offer this weekend...(I did learn a lesson however, never invest your own time, energy, etc. into a job until you have a commitment, three hours of free labor for the homeowner at no expense to him and he still got a mini staging)but he still may with just the simple change of furniture we made. I will post pictures later today.
I am off to West Newbury for a consultation today....lets hope this homeowner gets it.
MY STAGED PROPERTIES SELL!
