I was channel surfing last night and stopped on one of those Real Estate staging shows. You know the ones. The house has been on the market for ever and these TV People show up and tell them it's because they're house is presented incorrectly. They then move some furniture around, splash some paint, maybe a plant ot two, and viola, they get an offer.
So I'm thinking, where are those people when I need them? If I could get some one to show up at my listings, move some things around and get an offer, all in a half hour, I'd never let them out of my sight!
But I guess that's just television. Here in the real world, it's not that easy. Yes you have to stage the house properly. But you also have to price it properly. And you have to market it so people know that it's priced right and staged beautifully. And you have to do all that while calming your worried sellers, complying with disclosure laws, keeping up with what the competition is doing, trying to sort real buyers from lookey loos and staying on schedule and on budget.
I guess they can't show all that on TV. No one would watch. That's not entertainment, that's being a Realtor.
