Joni Smith and Lisa Martin of Showcase Interiors in Plano, TX know Staging. Statistics show that Buyers make a decision within 10 seconds of walking in a Seller’s front door. Staging is one of the most important items to complete before putting your home on the market. You must make a great first impression, and outshine the competition. With so much inventory on the market, Staging is something a homeowner cannot do without. Showcase Interiors updated website, www.showcaseinteriorsdfw.com, shows what a properly staged home can look like.
At Showcase Interiors, you will get the truth about what your home is saying to Buyers. “Sellers believe that their home is perfect, and are hesitant from changing anything”, says Smith. “What we do is enter the home looking through the Buyer’s eyes. We tour the home, take photographs, and then prepare a room-by-room document explaining to the Seller what needs to be done”. Smith also states that the cost of Staging is usually less than the first price reduction. “Nobody wants to see a sign in the yard that says ‘reduced’, but yet they allow their Agents to use it. In most cases it does not sell the house any quicker. With the money put into Staging, there is usually no need for any type of price reduction”. Showcase Interiors also believes that if a home is priced appropriately, and Staged, the home should sell quickly. “In today’s market the Buyer has a huge amount of inventory to choose from, and they expect the most for their money. Seller’s need to make their listing show better than the competition in their neighborhood”
Showcase Interiors is able to handle vacant properties, as well as lived-in homes. They use Vendors that carry the most up-to-date line of furnishings that are professionally sanitized between leases. “We believe that our finishing touches are what make the best impression. We use high quality accessories, art and floral to tie the design together. We always try to remind our client with the old adage, ‘you get what you pay for’. In this business cheaper is not always better. Do you want your house to look like your grannies old home, or a model home?” states Smith. In the business or selling a home, you must be prepared. If your home is not ready for the cover of a magazine, then it is not ready for today’s housing market.
At Showcase Interiors our goal is ensure that your home shines above all others. Our focus is to make the property more marketable by appealing to the greatest number of prospective buyers.
