RESA 2009 Consumers Guide to Real Estate Staging
Looking For Creativity in Today's Market?
RESA Releases 2009 Consumers Guide to Real Estate Staging
   
Consumer GuideThe Real Estate Staging Association (RESA) has just released their 2009 Consumers Guide to Real Estate Staging. This is a FREE publication to assist sellers, agents and buyers with the Real Estate Staging process.
 
The Consumers Guide explains what Staging is, how it works, why it works, and provides great statistics showing that Staging does work! The Consumers Guide includes information on what to look for in a Professional Stager, the benefits of hiring a Professional Stager vs. Doing it Yourself, and what to expect when working with a Professional Stager.
 
The Guide includes new statistics from RESA which show that staging is still working, even in a down market. Staging improved shorter time on market for Occupied Homes from 46.6% less time on market (than unstaged homes) in 2007 to 89% less time on market (than unstaged homes) in 2008. Staged Vacant Homes also improved with an average DOM in 2007 of 44 to only 33 DOM in 2008!

Looking for Creativity in Today's Market?
 
thinkerIn today's real estate market, you need to stand out amongst your competition. Often this requires doing business in new and creative ways. Sometimes it is hard to think of doing things in an innovative way.
 
One way to unleash your inner creativity is to get away from it all! Take a long weekend to escape, bringing only your essential items, concentrating on things that can help you relax. We often get burned out from doing the same thing day after day, or working too hard on one thing. Sometimes even a quick walk around the block, or short break at the coffee house down the street can help.
 
Another thing to do is simply change your routine. Try going a different route to work, try a new coffee drink (or go bold & drink something completey diferent!), pick up a book or magazine you would normally never consider reading. Ideas come from all over the place, and you never know what will spark your inner imagination.
 
Brainstorming with other people in your field is also a great way to create and share new ideas. Often even the smallest of ideas or differences can have a great impact. Start trying new ways to make you the BEST in your profession!
Spring is here and the real estate market is certainly picking up! We are looking forward to working with you this season and to continued success. Thank you as always for your support and business.

Sincerely,
 
Bevin Googer & Melissa Marro
