The Top Ten Reasons to
use Grande Finale ....
1)        You will make more money.

U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) reports that a staged home will sell, on average 17%
higher than an un-staged home

2)        Your house will sell faster, which equals less headaches and hassles.

The Real Estate Staging Association (RESA) reported that the average  number of days an  
occupied un–staged home is on the market is 102 days versus  45  for a staged home.

3)        The cost of staging doesn’t cost a dime.

In 2007 Home Gain Survey of over 2000 REALTORS, it was discovered that sellers who spent
typically $500 on staging services for their home recovered 343% of the cost in the sale of
their home.   

4)        Most home sellers can not view their house objectively.

If you can’t see objectively, you cannot package effectively. Having a staging professional get
your home into it’s most advantageous condition for selling .

5)        You’ll have less guesswork and “Do It Yourself” work.  

A professional home stager can manage your projects from start to finish. Or, they can give
you a detailed enough report based on their extensive knowledge and training to have you “do
it yourself”.

6)        Only 10% of home buyers can visualize the potential of a home.

This is why staging is critical !! You don’t want the advantages of your home overlooked and
left up to the buyer’s imagination.

7)        The  longer your home is on the market, the lower your price will be.

According to the  National Association of Realtors Survey, homes sold after four weeks on the
market sold for 6 % less than one’s within the first four weeks!  Don’t be in a position where
you have to lower your Price, Have your house staged first.  

8)        The money you make may be tax-free. The money you spend is tax deductible.

Take advantage of possible tax-free capital gain by getting every possible dollar you can.

9)        Leaving your house in “as is” condition will help sell the competition.

Right now with the number of homes for sale on the market competition is stiff and buyers
have very high expectations. Successful agents know that the key to selling is professional
staging.

10)        You can relax.

You will have the satisfaction of knowing you have done absolutely everything possible to
affect a quick sale of your most valuable commodity and for top dollar.
