New York Home Stager Helps Ailing Home Owner Make Quick Sale

Not everyone who puts their home up for sale is happy about moving. In fact, some of the saddest stories you’ll hear involve families being forced to sell their home.

When New York home stager and Staging Diva Graduate, Susan Atwell, was contacted by a couple in dire need of a fast sale, she wasted no time springing into action.

A deteriorating illness was forcing this couple to downsize to a one level home and after 14 months on the market, they were growing more desperate with each passing day. Unfortunately the market was also deteriorating and this couple simply couldn’t afford to lower their price again.

Even if a significant price reduction was made, there would still be no guarantee for a fast sale.

They asked their real estate agent if they had any more options and the agent suggested home staging.

When AtWell Staged Home came on the scene, a detailed and budget-conscious DIY plan was created. The plan was implemented aggressively by almost 30 volunteers from the couple’s church and all work was completed in two weeks. The only items that were purchased for this 3500 square foot, 5 bedroom house were paint and a slip cover. The home sold four days after it went back on the market.

Susan says, “A family’s life changed and all it took was a plan, some paint and a slip cover. Rooms were de-cluttered, furniture was expertly moved around and some rooms were re-purposed to create an inviting and clean space for buyers to imagine themselves living in.”

Thanks to the work of Susan AtWell’s home staging company, this family was able to breathe a sigh of relief and move on with their lives without the stress of selling their home hanging over their heads.

Re: Trade Shows - Are They Worth It? Re: Trade Shows - Are They Worth It? - HI, I have used trade shows (not participated) to collect potential clients. For example, the Home & Garden Industry is extremely behind the time in regards to their websites. I attended an Home & Garden Expo in Denver and collected all the companies contact information. I plan on cold calling & mailing information to each business. It also gave me time to research the industry more, talk directly to the owners in many cases, and learn more about what they need. Jeff

Home Equity to Finance your business Home Equity to Finance your business - Jen, do you have Home Equity you can leverage? Maybe a relative or close family member can do it for you in return for an interest "balloon payment" at the end of 5 years (the rate would be above what they would get if they invested it in a GIC).
