Ok, so a couple months ago I was watching some late night T.V. and I saw a story on Nightline about “Reverse Offers”. Here’s how it works, insead of waiting for a buyer to put in an offer the seller courts the potiential buyer with an offer that hopefully, they can’t refuse. I found this story very interesting especially because they have already had $40,000 worth of price reductions and had not tried staging the house.  I also found it interesting that the sellers were willing to throw in tons of stuff along with an additional reduction of $4,675.00 too.  I know homes staging is still catching on and I don’t know if  it has in that area but even if staging was done at 1% of the listing price, that’s a whole lot less then $44,675.00. Thanks to HGTV and TLC the benefits of staging are traveling the airways and hopefully, we as Stagers can help hard working homeowners hold on to some of the value in their homes.
