Staging WORKS!
for agents in the lowcountry...
December 2007 - Vol 2, Issue 12 |

Greetings!
|
|
It is hard to believe that it is the last
month of the year already! The new year will
begin in just a few weeks and it is
important to begin making your business
plans and take this slower time to get
ready. How will you grow your business next
year? What will you do to help grow your
clients' business and market that
information?
Remember the old addage,
"Those who
fail to plan, plan to fail!"

What agents are saying.... |
|
 This
is a team of true professionals that are
focused on customer satisfaction and
exceeding your expectations with delivery of
services. With little notice and under
pressure to stage three listings, they
worked 24/7 to meet the deadlines. Staging
with First Impressions is a savvy investment
tool for realtors and sellers in this
market. Presentation in marketing of your
product and in showings to potential buyers
is EVERYTHING.
"You only get one chance to make a good
impression, so leave a mark and not a stain"
Ann Coggiola, Agent, Prudential Carolina
Real Estate

Planning your success |
|
As 2007 comes to an end and we look to
2008 it is important to take stock in
what you have accomplished this year and
know what you would like to accomplish
next year. There is no substitute for a
written business plan and goal list.
Studies show that 95% of those who
acheive their goals on a regular basis
have WRITTEN goals that are reviewed
frequently.
So, where do you begin? Start by
deciding how much time you are willing
to spend on growing your business and
how much vacation you will take this
year. Using this information develop a
schedule for prospecting, following up
with past clients and current business.
Remember, no matter how busy you are
today, you must prospect every week to
keep consistent business.
Lastly, when setting goals keep these
things in mind - in order to acheive
goals, you must know WHY you want to
acheive that goal. You must also know
what you will be giving up if you don't
acheive it AND what you will give up if
you DO acheive it! Make the why strong
and you will have real power! Good luck!

Alliances bring growth... |
Alliance as defined by Wikipedia is an
agreement between two or more parties,
made in order to advance common goals
and to secure common interests.
Alliances can be powerful business tools
- helping to grow all parties involved.
Allying yourself with a professional
home stager in this market can be a huge
advantage. Statistics show that staged
homes sell in half the time and for 3-9%
more than unstaged homes. Adding a home
stager to your team can help show
sellers that you understand the needs
and trends of the market, helping you
gain additional listings & sell your
current ones.
Using First Impressions Home Staging &
Interior ReDesign as your Staging
Alliance helps with your marketing
dollar as well. Prior to the listing we
provide full color brochures, workbooks
for owner occupied properties and both
owner occupied and vacant walkthroughs.
After the listing we provide virtual
real estate shows and beautiful wide
angle photographs for MLS and your other
marketing needs.
As you plan your new year, consider
alliances that will help to grow your
business and make sure that Staging is
at the top of that list!
