How $150 Can Sell Your Listing!
 
Staging an occupied home is no longer a luxury - it's a requirement. 
 
How to do it affordably?
 
Spend $150. 
 
Hire Set The Stage for our "One Hour Stage."  We'll deliver a consultation that helps sellers clearly see what they need to do to properly market their home.  They get a complete plan, and a set of to-do's.   
 
More importantly - they're on board.
 
After that, POLISH IT UP.
 
Sellers pay only $750, and we come back to stage and style the home from top to bottom.  A killer deal that hugely enhances the chance of a quick sale with strong offers.
 
This program is SO EFFECTIVE that many agents won't bring on a listing without it.

Greetings!
This summer, we've had incredible results.  
 
We've been madly destaging this summer and have very little inventory on the market - because 90% of our stages sold in under 30 days.
 
Why?
Frankly, I think it's because we do the best job of matching our staging style to the home we're staging.  We never produce "cookie cutter" results, and always design a custom look for each property we stage.
 
We keep the demographic of our potential buyer firmly in mind while creating a cohesive look that sells. 
 
Finally, we're trained professionals, utilizing the ASP (Accredited Staging Professional) principles to produce a look that photographs beautifully and charms buyers in person.
 
SET THE STAGE  provides excellent value for your staging dollar, and a distinctive look for your listing.

WE'VE DONE IT AGAIN.  
 
I am thrilled to be featured once again in the September issue of Builder/Architect Magazine as its Home Staging Expert.  
 
This issue addresses building green, and my column is on How to Feng "Sway" (Shui) Buyers At The Curb.

How does this help you?
Writing a quarterly column means that I'm always looking for new resources, trends, and service providers.  I pass this knowledge on to my clients when they need referrals, and use my breadth of knowledge to produce a superior product.

SET THE STAGE is a professional, respected partner to help you achieve your goals.

  
How $150 = 4 Sales!
 
The following is a True Story. 
 
"Savvy Agent" hired Set The Stage for a one hour consultation on a lived-in home.  COST: $150. 
 
We provided the consult, and encouraged clients to move to their new home, let us add some key missing furniture, and stage.  COST TO CLIENTS:  $1,500.
 
RESULT (July 2009):
Agent raised asking price because house looked so good.
House sold for $4,000 over asking price in 2 weeks.
Agent was contacted by neighbor who saw results.
Agent got 3 additional listings from neighbor.
 
Savvy Agents know the value of staging - and often reap unexpectedly profitable results.

A Note From Patty
We're in the business of helping people.
 
I recently had the opportunity to explain to someone what it is I do, and why I feel so good about it.
 
Here's the truth:  I get paid to do something I love that has an excellent chance of helping my clients reach a major life goal. 
 
I love that. 
 
Whether you're an agent, a builder, or a home seller, my business is to help YOU succeed.  It's satisfying work, and I'm good at it.
 
I'd love to work with you.
