ALISO VIEJO, CA, April 14, 2009 – How do you make your listings stand out from the rest? One thing to remember is that many buyers purchase on emotion and buying a home isn’t that different from any of the other things they purchase - it's just more expensive. Retailers will tell you it’s all about creating an emotional bond with the perspective buyer.  Without an emotional pull the chances that the buyer will “take a pass” and move on down the line to the next house are greatly increased. 

Your very first step is to help your sellers understand that fact and make the mental transition – their just listed "home" becomes a "house" and their "house" is now a product.  Your challenge is to help them begin seeing the house as a piece of merchandise, a product that needs to have a carefully constructed campaign to prepare it for sale.  And that campaign entails a total, unbiased evaluation of both the outside and the inside … by you the professional.  Are you equipped to make that happen?

If not, help is now available in the form of the Accredited Home-Staging Specialist (AHS) course.  This 8 hour course provides a solid overview of all the key aspects about the home staging process.  Home staging skills aren’t hard and can be quickly and easily learned just by following basic interior design principles, which are detailed during the course.
