3 Ways to Use the Staging Calculator

Maybe the use seems obvious - obtain pricing for your vacant staging… but it’s SO much more than that!

1. Listing Price Strategy

   Yes, this can be used to strategize! You’re in the listing presentation and your client wants to push price and list at $2m. You know the sellers market has slowed and they haven’t mentally adjusted to the new reality. But you also know that proper prep is your best chance at getting them peak price. So you present your plan:

   Option A - we list for $1.9 as-is.

   Option B - we list for $2m but you’ll need to invest a bit to get your price.

   A few button pushes later, you know exactly what that investment is and (no surprise here) it’s a fraction of the $100k difference in price.

2. Avoid a Price Decrease

   Now more than ever, we’re staging the stale listings - those that sit for a few months. They may not have presented the home properly up front and when you miss the first weekend, chances are you’ll end up with a couple months of carrying costs. Staging is NEVER as expensive as your first price drop.

3. Win Your Listings

   Though we don’t often recommend it, we have plenty of Realtor clients that pay for their own staging. Knowing that cost up front, prepares them well in advance of the listing presentation for what they’re willing (and not willing) to do to win over the listing. Come prepared! I promise it will be a game changer.
