Setting your house up for success

When getting ready to put your property on the market, It’s important that we are set up for success.

Here is a story about how we took a house with some challenges and made sure its shortcomings didn’t derail a possible sale.

A short time ago, we took on a listing with a very odd floor plan. It was evident from the start that the lack of functionality may turn off many buyers.

We priced the home based on nearby comparable sales without making much of an adjustment for the odd floor plan.

Many agents may just list the house hoping to find a buyer that is willing to deal with an odd floor plan. However, we wanted to maximize and take advantage of whatever interest we had in the house.

To overcome the odd floor plan, we brought in the help of a stager. Using staging furniture, we staged the house to show how the floor plan could work. Instead of relying on a buyer’s imagination to figure out how to make the floor plan work, we illustrated it for them.

The efforts and added costs paid off when we had multiple offers and were able to sell the house within a handful of days.
