Staged
Homes Sell FASTER & Have Increased Value! Nationwide, on Avg, Staged
Homes sell 78% Faster & for
6
- 10% or more than comparable homes that were
not
staged.
My wife and
I were worried, when we decided to put our home up
for sale after we found out that the market in our
neighborhood was saturated with over 65 other
comparable homes for sale. We were also dealing
with much fewer buyers in the market due to the bad
economy, dropping home prices and failing mortgage
companies.
We had a short timeline to sell, due to job relocation
and had to move quickly. Our Real Estate agent
recommended that Paradise Home Staging could really
help us sell the home faster, if it were
professionally “Staged”.
Paradise Home Staging made our home look like a Model,
in only a short time. All the realtors and open
house visitors raved about how great it looked and
showed. And the web based virtual video tour they
provided to us for marketing, really helped pull in
those Web Shoppers.
Bottom line, after only about 1 month on the market,
the house was SOLD!
Thank You, Paradise Home Staging! Two Thumps Up!

-----------------------------------------
Our house had been on the market for over 8
months when we finally decided that we needed to do
something different to get it sold. The
staging company advised us to take our house off the
market for a couple of weeks, which we did, and
Paradise Home Staging sent two wonderful stagers
out. In less then a week these ladies
completely transformed the entire place. Their
design ideas and the work they did was amazing. On
the day of the brokers open house all the agents
commented on how comfortable it felt when they
walked in the door and about how easy our home would
be to show. We had only two open houses over
the following two weekends and our house sold with a
full price offer. There is no doubt in our
minds that the staging made ALL the difference.
We have now moved into our new home on Maui and all
the stress of selling is far behind us. Thank
you guys! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Why Stage?
- STAGING IS ABOUT SELLING HOMES FAST, AND FOR
TOP
DOLLAR.
If it's done right, a home owner can easily recover
his or her costs. A properly staged home will
even yield a return on the investment. This ROI can amount
to literally tens of thousands of dollars! In addition to this,
staged homes almost always sell a LOT Faster - on average,
within 42
days or less! See the latest 2010 Staging Stats.
The first single family home that PHS ever staged sold in only
33 days, and our first condo sold at its first open house only 2
days after the staging was completed! The results that we
can produce for you are amazing... If your home is already
on the market, how long has it been setting there waiting for a
buyer to come along and make an acceptable offer??? Has it
been several months, or maybe even a year or longer since you
first listed your home for sale? If so, then perhaps it's
time to re-thank your selling strategy and consider that maybe
you are doing something wrong? If your home isn't on the
market yet, you can save yourself a LOT of time, and money,
(which otherwise will likely be wasted) if you simply have it
professionally staged right from the very beginning. Even
in today's rough Real Estate market and economy, a home does not
have to sit unsold for months on end. Staging IS the
Answer!
What Is Home Staging? Home Staging is the process of
preparing a home and getting it ready to be placed on the market
for sale. In a nut shell, Home Staging is Visual
& Strategic Home Merchandising. We
focus on the things that will increase the value of a home the most, and
we transform it into a buyers dream. For most people, a
home is their most valuable asset. If not, it's
probably right up there at the top of the list. That's why, when
you are selling your
home, it should be in confidant, professional hands both before,
and while it's on the market. It can be difficult knowing
exactly what to do and how to prepare your home so it will show
well and be seen by prospective buyers in the best way possible.
Equally difficult is knowing exactly what will attract the
highest offers and what will make a home sell in the least
amount of time. Hiring a Professional Home Staging
Company is what accomplishes this.
When done properly, Staging vastly improves your chances of a
Faster Sale, and
staging will
help you to realize the best possible price from your home.
Staging your home decreases the number of low ball offers and turns
lookers into buyers lightening fast.
What Staging Is Not:
Many home owners, realtors, & other members of the general
public do not understand that Home Staging is NOT the same as
Interior Design. In fact, sadly, many stagers themselves
do not truly understand that there is a difference!!! But
Home Staging is NOT Interior Design. Home Staging is a
part of the Real Estate Industry. It requires an
understanding of why and how homes sell, and an understanding of
the local market, the neighborhood that a given home is located
in, and even the local culture. Home Staging is not just
simply de-cluttering, de-personalizing, or only about helping people to visualize
living in the home - it's all of these, and Much More! There is an actual
Science, as well as an Art to Home Staging, which requires strategy, planning
and specific actions and goals in order to achieve satisfactory
and tangible results. Staging can easily fail if it is not
done properly, which is why most Sellers and even Realtors
need a professionals help. Properly done and affective
Home Staging requires: a good understanding of Real Estate,
coupled with Merchandising Experience, Marketing & Sales Skills,
an Understanding of Current Market Conditions, an up to date
knowledge of current competition, as well as Design Skills,
Psychology & Strategy, and more. Home Sellers, Investors &
Realtors, trying to cut corners and save money, who often times
attempt to do everything themselves, or those who hire stagers
who low-ball on price and who lack understanding and experience
in these areas, more often then not
wind up in a sad state of disappointment when the staging
doesn't work. Staging DOES WORK, but only when it
is done the Right Way!
Staged
Homes show as "well maintained" and "Taken Care Of"
Homes
that are Staged Stand Out, Apart from All The Others - They Have
A Competitive Advantage
A
Staged Home Will Attract a Broader Range of Potential Buyers
Staged
Homes Almost Always Appraise at Higher Values - And, They Appear
To Have Higher Value In The Eyes Of Buyers
Homes
that are Staged Convey a Professional Image and Look Much More
Appealing in Print and Advertising Media
Realtors
Are More Likely To Show and Work Harder to Sell a Home that has
been Professionally Staged Staging Is Never
An Expense - It Is always An Investment.
What you spend to have your home staged almost always comes back
to you, and with a profit left over after your initial costs
have been recovered. Often times, this gain amounts to
thousands of dollars - sometimes it reaches into the tens of
thousands, or even hundreds of thousands for Luxury Homes! Many people simply don't have the
time, or the knowledge and experience to do what it really takes
to give their home it's best shot at attracting the best offers
and at selling quickly. The truth is, most people
don't have a clue where to begin, what to do, why certain things
need to be done (the underlying strategy & psychology), and how to go about
doing it all. Hiring Professional Stagers from Paradise
Home Staging is the realistic answer. We know exactly what needs to
be done, and why. If you hire us, we will even do all the
work for you, so you have no worries and you can relax, knowing
that everything will be done the right way, and as quickly and
efficiently as possible. Our services are fairly priced and we
implement highly effective strategies and solutions that will
quickly transform your home into a market ready property that
will sell much faster than if it was left
un-staged.
Here is a recent example of staging; one which I believe
typifies the staging experience pretty well... Several months
ago, while driving around and visiting open houses, I stumbled
upon a beautiful million
dollar plus home. This home had been on
the market for right at a full year and hadn't received even a
single offer. Than, within only two weeks, the offers
started rolling in. What changed and all of a sudden
attracted all of the latest, new interest? Well, the
owners took this
home off the market and had it staged! After staging, in less than 30 days,
three
offers were already on the table and it was simply a matter of
pick and choose who the lucky buyer was going to be! The
home is now sold and no longer on the market! Wouldn't you like to see your home get the
same kind of results? It CAN happen! Even in the
current depressed real estate market, there ARE buyers out there
and homes ARE selling.
With properly implemented staging strategies, you could be the
next one to finally get your home sold. Selling your home
faster means less stress in your life, and it almost always
results in a better selling price. You just have to do the
right things and your home WILL sell. For homes that have
been on the market for a long time, homes that might normally be
facing a price reduction, many times it is possible to avoid
that PRICE
REDUCTION entirely, or, with staging, it is possible to create a
situation where a price reduction is far less then it otherwise
would have been.! Paradise Home Staging can help you to make
these things happen! We can vastly improve your chances to sell your
home more quickly, more easily, and to attract better offers. Learn More Here-

Alvin, thank you so much for doing such a good job. It really

The New York Times: "... a recent study of West Coast homes
found that 17 out of 25 Staged Homes sold within seven days and
the rest within 30 days. All were at or above asking price..."
According to the National
Association of Realtors (NAR):
...The average staging investment
is between 1 and 3 percent of the home's asking price, which
generates a return of 8 to 10 percent.
U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) ...a Staged Home sells, on average, 17% higher than an unstaged
home. Statistics suggest Staged Homes sell at an average
of 6.32% over what they are listed for.
