Staging Works!!!

 Thank you, J. Allan & Paradise!

If I could get this across to every single selling client, I would...
STAGING WORKS!!!
It works.

It works.

IT WORKS!!!

And when the staging company is as talented and professional as J. Allen & Paradise, you are in good hands. This team never disappoints. They really went above and beyond on getting this job done for me. On short notice.   During a heatwave.  And the house SOLD. Staging WORKS!!!

This seller was adamant about leaving the house empty. We had many potential buyers attend Open Houses and showings. We heard a lot of "It has great potential." And it did! Acres of private wooded land, huge open floorplan, cathedral ceilings, all in a desirable area. We got zero offers. 

It was outdated. It needed a fresh paint job. There were some awkward permanent fixtures.  These things all stuck out like a sore thumb to everyone who walked in the house. 

Enter home staging with J. Allen & Paradise. Their expertise brought this from a house to a home. All of the outdated and awkward features were now relegated to the background; seen, but now blending in. A potential buyer could see how it could all work together until incorporating their own cosmetic updates. 

We had competing offers and were under contract within days. 

From J. Allen & Paradise website:

Why stage?

It’s simple… We know your house will sell – we want to help you sell faster and for top dollar!

You only have one opportunity to make a first impression. Did you know that potential buyers will decide within about 8 seconds of entering your home whether they’ll buy or not? We will help you get your property ready to compete in today’s Real Estate market by creating a lifestyle that will appeal to many buyers in photos – driving traffic to your open house or showings. The lifestyle we create will invoke emotional connection with buyers, often resulting in multiple offers over asking price.

In the end, staging doesn’t cost any money at all. According to the National Association of Realtors® staging costs between 1-3% of the listing price of the property. Staging, on average will typically generate a return between 8-10%. Staging costs significantly less than a first price reduction – this is why staging before putting your home on the market is so important.

*Nearly 85% of buyers agents said home staging made it easier to visualize the property as a future home.

*Over 25% of buyers agents said their clients were more likely to overlook minor flaws in the property when it is staged..
