Why YOU NEED an ASP Realtor

Why, In This Market are Sellers and Buyers Choosing.....ASP Realtors®? (Accredited Staging Professional)       Why do SELLERS need an ASP Accredited Staging Professional Realtor®?    Staging is a few things. It is intelligent merchandising. It is uncovering everything a house has to offer by depersonalizing it. This can mean clearing trees to discover a view the home owners had long forgotten or removing knickknacks from shelves and counters. Lastly, Barb Schwarz, the recognized founding Realtor® of StagedHomes.Com, offered insightful ways to bring sellers to a place where they can accept difficult choices, like removing the collection of deer-heads from the living room wall, and emphasized the importance of honesty and respect in all phases of Staging.   Barb Schwarz closed on a serious note: More sellers are hiring Professional Stagers, many of whom hold the Staging Designation, and many houses are selling based on their work. She encouraged REALTORS® to incorporate Staging into their services or at least form referral relationships with Stagers, because it is becoming increasingly common and necessary as buyers and sellers grow Savvier in the marketplace and demand more from their REALTOR®.

Why do BUYERS need an ASP Accredited Staging Professional Realtor®?   Accredited Staging Realtors® can help a home buyer more easily estimate the cost of any update’s or remodeling cost’s that may be ahead for the prospective purchaser’s. They can sometimes see past the homes easily corrected appeal issues, such as the overgrown hedge blocking light and view, or the horrific purple marbled wallpaper that buyer’s are having a problem overcoming. Not only can ASP Realtors® give the buyer’s tips and contractor’s they have used. They may be more able to negotiate the removal of these items or factor them into the buyer’s offer, as they have had vast experience and statistic’s to present in working with seller’s that other Realtor’s® may not. Most of all the ASP Realtor® may be able to offer their buyer’s valuable home enhancing tip’s on everything from décor, organization, maintenance and curb appeal which will help to make the new homeowner more comfortable and proud of their new home. Thing’s that can be done to the home for little or no money, or just a little elbow grease; adding up at resale to more dollars and less time on the market!
