The one thing that made these sellers choose their agent ✨

I was at a staging consultation just last week when the seller opened by telling me she was so excited that I was there — and it was all because of their agent.

After interviewing a few agents, they had decided to go with this one. Why? Not because of her commission rate, her marketing reach, her personality, or because a friend recommended her.

It was because, the seller said, "she included staging." That one "small" item made her stand out, and told the sellers everything they needed to know. This agent had a strategy, and staging was a central part of it.

The way we live in our homes works for us — but a new strategy is needed when selling them. When you set the house up for buyers, you'll attract more of them and broaden the buyer pool.

If you include the importance of staging from the start as part of your marketing and positioning plan, it's already understood to be invaluable. You're not selling a house — you're selling a product and the future life the buyers could have in that house.

Buyers are going to buy with their emotions, and justify their decision with logic. The best way to get the emotional part started is by staging. It is what helps sellers see their home through buyers' eyes, so you can more easily turn "lived-in" into "market-ready."

And when buyers fall in love faster, sellers stop second-guessing, and you, the agent, look like the genius that you are! Case in point! 💙

The Takeaways for you: Yes, sellers compare agents and what they offer! Position yourself as the agent who "markets" their house, not just "sells" it, so you'll stand out. Gift a Staging Consult to your sellers so you REALLY stand out, and you'll never look back! 💙
