A home staging consultation is the most cost effective service a seller can get before putting their house on the market.
•They want personalized service from a professional stager that can pinpoint specifics about their home and make recommendations.
•They want an unbiased opinion from someones that's not involved with the commission.
•They want to know with confidence that their home will show better than their competition down the street.
•Real estate agents shouldn't be concerned with the buyer being insulted in suggesting the use of a home stager, quite the contrary, sellers are looking for this add-on service.
•They know staging is the hottest marketing and merchandising tool out there.
•It also gives the home seller satisfaction knowing that the agent is doing everything he or she can do to help sell their home.
