The truth about selling your home in a buyer's market Are you struggling to sell a home in today's tough market? Wondering if you can command top dollar for the home you love? Scared you'll be on the market for another 6 months?   "You have just 2 minutes." Once your buyer walks through your door, you have just 2 minutes to get her to say "yes."  That's how fast people decide to stick around or say, "Next house, please." Buyers imagine themselves living in your home.  Sleeping in your bedroom. Cooking on your stove.  Having parties. Entertaining their friends. When your property hasn’t been selling… Chances are buyers sense a strong “no” feeling when they walk through the door – like getting hit in the face with a cold blast of arctic air. They can’t wait to get out of the house. Sometimes they say "no" at the curb. That’s right: they don’t even get out of their cars. Even the most brilliant real estate agent in the world can’t make a sale that way. So...how do  you get buyers hooked in your 2-minute window? Especially if your house is...well, interesting? Lots of sharp corners? Small rooms? An echoing canyon where the living room should be? Hi, I'm Pam Ellis. If you're ready to sell your home fast, you've come to the right place. I  am a professional home stager. I know what makes buyers say, "Yes! Let me live here forever!"  [Need a great photo here.] When we team up to sell your home, we combine an artist's eye for design and an entrepreneur's feeling for markets.   Pam tunes into the buyer's emotional experience.  She has a knack for setting a tone that triggers buyer appeal but still picks up on the home's unique personality.  Pam seems to read the sellers' minds. One of my clients was concerned that a stager might go all "cutesy" with the house. But after Pam staged, they were absolutely thrilled! They wished they had used Pam's choices for style and colors while they lived there. Pam comes to each job with a sense of humor along with a sense of style and her own artistic flair.  She takes the fear out of staging and turns each staging into a virtuoso performance.   -- Sarah Ford [need affiliation] If you don’t stage your house now, your bank account will hate you later.  Staged homes sell faster than un-staged homes. Sellers of staged homes are more likely to get their asking price. Every real estate agent will tell you about a house that spent 7 months (or more) on the market, but sold within weeks after being staged by a trained professional. So smart sellers view staging as an investment, not an expense. Compare your investment in home staging with your first price reduction. Usually it's a no-brainer. But why wait while your house grows stale in a slow market? Why not let us turn your house into a hot property that buyers will fight over? Pam knows how to add the "wow" factor to any listing.  She is great at working with the furniture clients have without forcing them into expensive purchases just when they're feeling stretched. My favorite: Pam transformed a drab utilitarian bachelors pad into a dramatic urban chic condo that sold in one week!
