"Such a fun project to work on with you! Since you weren't selling at this time, we could do some different design projects, but you realized the importance of keeping in mind resale down the road. I think it's an incredibly charming house and being able to use all your own "stuff" made it especially appealing. Thanks for your kind words-it was such a pleasure to work with you."
"Thanks so much (Member name removed) for your positive review! My goal is always to provide as much information as possible so the home owner can make their own best decision. Sometimes, it just takes an objective eye to walk through and give some feedback and advice. It's hard to live a house for a number of years and be able to emotionally separate yourself from your personal environment. I'm always available for additional advice at no charge and if you decide you want to get more information on market conditions to list, please don't hesitate to let me know!"
In addition to some of the standard things that every owner should do in staging their home (like de-cluttering), she pointed out many other aspects of things that buyers are going to look at and consider - some unconsiously, that we needed to address. Remember, that you are now wearing the sales hat and not selling your house but a piece of property - and there are competitors for those sales dollars. You are competing against new and/or upgraded homes and need to position your home in the best possible light, minimizing objections before they arise and showcasing the homes best aspects.
We went over and above Kim's initial required list and took on all of the optional items listed as well. We replaced all of the brass door handles, hingles, towel rods, light fixtures. We updated the front door hardware, we replaced several ceiling fans, bought service sets for the deck furniture, replaced some pillows and lamps and the like.
The home presented magnificently - we didn't want to leave! The listing photographs really popped.
By the way, there was another home in our neighborhood already for sale of similar SF and layout. We received multiple offers and closed/moved while the other home remained on the market.
Without reservation, we would never do this again without Kim and her team!
"Thanks so much! You were the best clients! It was also gratifying to pass you on to Andy Bovender to list and get it sold so fast. I was thrilled that you also wanted me to help you find your new home...and it so fabulous! Loved working with your sweet family. It was a home run from start to finish."
"So glad you were happy with the results! You were a pleasure to work with as well. :)"
"Thank you for your feedback! I was glad to have the opportunity to stage your home for selling, but also assist in helping you choose materials for your bathroom remodel that would create the highest appeal for buyers. I know you disagreed with me initially and wanted to use more color in the paint and tile, but I truly believe that going with classic neutrals is your best choice. I was glad to go with you and choose tile at the store that day that will be perfect for the purpose of what you were doing. It was also encouraging to know that some of the choices I suggested ended up costing less than you had planned to spend. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you need further assistance. Your home will be beautiful and ready for the spring market!"
Due to a job relocation we were unexpectedly required to sell our house and move to another state. Houses in our area typically sit on the market 120 days and more and with a new job starting in a couple weeks we didn't want to wait that long and disrupt our family for an extended period. We decided to contact Kim at Staged for Selling to give us a leg up on the market. After talking to Kim while we were scheduling the consultation I knew we made the right decision. She was knowledgeable about local real estate and what it takes to sell a house in this very sluggish but competitive market.
From the initial phone call to the final follow up, working with Kim has been a pure delight. She came out on a Saturday and did a complete walk through of our house. Kim is also a Buyer?s Agent, and it was clear within the first few minutes that she really knew what buyers see when they view a house. After the extensive walk through, Kim reviewed all of her recommendations with us, answering all our questions. She left us with details recommendations for each room and each area of the yard as well as the Top 10 hit list. She was spot on. We followed her recommendations and our house was under contract after less than 10 days on the market.
All of Kim's suggestions are just that?suggestions. It is up to the home owner to decide what they want to do and what they can afford. She will help you prioritize to get the best bang for your buck. During the process Kim was always available to answer questions and keep us on track. I have, and will continue to recommend Staged for Selling to anyone I know who is selling their home. I?ve talked to other home owners who thought they could get all they needed to know off of the home improvement shows and their houses are still on the market.
If we were not leaving the area I would have hired Kim to help me decorate our new house. She has excellent taste and knows what it takes to highlight the features of a house.
"Thank you! You were the perfect motivated clients-you paid attention and followed all of my suggestions. Your house was truly transformed! I was also glad to be able to refer a top agent for you that also contributed greatly to your house getting under contract so quickly. I found out who the buying agent was afterward, and she and I had a good laugh, because I stage all her listings and she said she just knew our company had to have been involved. Thank you for posting pics. Even though I hadn't recommended setting the table, I loved your initiative. The bookcases looked great too! Wishing you wonderful blessings in your new place. Wish I could come help you there too! :)"
"Thank you Members for your confidence and feedback! I am especially grateful for your comment that we are "customer-centric". Customer focus is the center of our business. We always want you to feel that we exceeded your expectations. Kim P. is an outstanding part of our team and I know she enjoyed working with you both as well. We wish you much happiness in your home in CO and when the time comes to set up something in the Carolinas again, I hope you'll keep us in mind!"
"Thank you! It was a pleasure to be of assistance. Don't hesitate to call back if you have any questions or need confirmation as you choose the few items we recommended."
"So glad our stager Kim P. was able to be of assistance! She said you were a delight to work with and that you implemented everything she suggested. It will make an enormous difference for both living and selling!"
"This house was so charming and just needed to have it's story told! It's not always about spending money. Furniture arrangement, paint color and de-cluttering can make an enormous difference. Best wishes to you Member on your upcoming wedding and move to KY! It was a pleasure and honor to be of assistance."
"Thank you Member for the opportunity to work with you managing some of these remodeling jobs. We have such a great group of subcontractors. It has been fun to see your house transformed and updated as we have implemented these projects. It is gratifying when the client trusts the designer and the results are so outstanding. Your home's value has no doubt increased significantly with the smart updating choices you've made."
