Tips and articles about home staging, interior design, and downsizing

Re Blogged with Permission:

I had to post this hilarious but unfortunately oh-so-true blog from Clint Miller. As a Realtor from Missoula MT, Clint must have been in and out of hundreds of homes but his “tell all” story from the viewpoint of a buyer is especially noteworthy.

Listen up sellers – this is what the buyer REALLY thinks but which your Realtor will almost never tell you – they have a relationship with you and they do not want to hurt your feelings and jepordize this relationship. But this is critical information. Buyers are the people with the chequebook. They make the decision to buy or not. They hold all the cards. And they do not cut you any slack at all. If your home exhibits any of these deadly sins – they are out the door and gone from your life forever. No feedback, no second chance, no sale.

As a Home Stager we see this all the time with clients who think their home is just fine the way it is so why would they “waste” all that money on “staging”. Unfortunately, for them,  in this situation what the buyer thinks is the only thing that matters. A properly priced, professionally presented home will always sell. They sell fast. They sell for top dollar.

The others? Well, it is a good thing that the seller loves it just the way it is – because they will be living in it for a long time to come.
