Why Home Stagers should go to Open Houses?
Home Stagers should always attend open houses when they can. It is a great opportunity to meet the local real estate agents in your area. Real Estate Agents should also invite Home Stagers to open houses because the home stager can help the agent make sure the home is ready for presentation. Making sure little things like furniture and accessories are where they should be and that clutter is out of the way. Home Stagers can also be there to help the potential buyers envision living in the home, giving them décor tips and furniture layout ideas.
First Impressions Count!
For Agents first impressions of the home is critical, so having a Home Stager there with you to make sure it is perfect will definitely payoff. For Home Stagers first impressions are key as well.
