Hiring a home staging company can be like throwing darts at a dart board. Finding the right company for your listing is crucial in launching your listing and you must do it right the first time to make an impact and sell fast! Here are six reasons Five Starr Staging is the perfect home staging company for real estate agents:
1. We are Passionate
We have a passion for all pieces of the staging process— we can transform any property into an appealing space. This ability to create a warm feeling of welcome enables 81% of potential purchasers to easily imagine a property as their future home. Isn’t that amazing? Successful stagers are passionate about creating a “wow factor;” that impressive ambiance that sells homes quicker and for more money.
Our love for decorating is a lifelong love. We began with our own home and over time began to help others for free, then decided this passion is a thriving business and it hasn’t disappointed! We have been able to develop through knowledge and training, the finer points of design such as color theory and other stylistic details.
2. We Are Intuitive
Did you know that most buyers have trouble visualizing the potential of an un-staged home? It’s true: they simply cannot see beyond what is currently presented. Successful home staging companies are able to walk into a home and intuitively know what needs to be removed, what needs to be relocated, and what additional decorating details will give the home a spacious, appealing feel.
They have the ability to visualize the optimal flow of every room, what furniture is best suited for the space, and where it should go. Instinct enables successful home staging companies to see the potential in any home. With a proven track record, we have successfully aided numerous agents in garnering offers up to 200k over the listing price.
3. We Possess People/Communication Skills
Home staging companies need to be able to build a rapport with homeowners, real estate agents, painters, movers, contractors, etc. We are approachable, friendly, and trustworthy— especially with homeowners. After all, within minutes of meeting them, we are poking around in their closets and cupboards and initiating difficult conversations with them. We are empathetic and tactful; discussions centered on what personal items need removing or what home improvements need to be done can be very upsetting to some homeowners.
Possessing people skills allows a home staging company to work with any personality type. These skills prove to be a huge asset to all real estate agents, as it preserves the relationship between a seller and their agent and allows us to be the go-between to get the home to market and maintain the seller's sanity at the same time.
4. We Are Organized
Home staging companies wear many hats: they stage homes, conduct consultations, handle billing, pay expenses, prospect for clients, network with real estate agents and home builders, shop for accessories and furniture, source rentals, track down errant furnishings, schedule movers, painters and other help, and update their website with new projects and testimonials.
They need to be on time, meet all project deadlines, and stay within budget. Can you imagine conducting a business as exciting as home staging, if you are not organized? Home staging companies plan, prepare and professionally organize every detail of their business.
5. We Are Confident
Successful home staging companies believe in their own abilities. They know that they have the knowledge, training, and skills to transform any home into an appealing property for sale. They are prepared and organized, and exhibit a zest for life. They are pursuing their passion, creating a career doing something that they love.
6. We Are Entrepreneurial/Business Minded
Successful home staging companies have a vision for their business; they have an interest in running it and making a profit. They also have specific goals and a strategic marketing plan to attain them. They know who their target customers are and how to reach them. As their own boss, they revel in setting their own schedule and know that it is their effort that will determine the positive result of all of their hard work.
