3 different listings-and it finally sells. What was the difference?
In just 79 days, this listing in Goose Creek, SC went UNDER CONTRACT after being on the market for 10 months between 2 other listings.
We listed the house about $2500 higher than where the last listing ended the price. How can this be?? Why would you increase the price of a house that isn't selling?
PRESENTATION! After reviewing the previous listings, we realized that the house was not marketable in its current condition given the new construction competition. While not all sellers can afford to make improvements to the property, this seller was happy to do so. He just needed to know what to do!!
The seller listened to our recommendations, repainted a very red dining room, staged the property, had a deep clean and did some landscaping. The cost equaled about 1% of the listing price for the improvements.
And viola! In 79 days, we had two 2nd showings and 3 offers and 1 ratified contract.
So what was the difference?! The presentation. See for yourself in 2 example photos showing the difference between the occupied house, vacant house and staged house.

Next time you have a listing, please consider staging to make a difference in the sale of your home!

If they do happen to come visit and are not impressed with the house's upgrades or condition of the property, they have no reason to press forward b/c they have 183 other options which are already price within their range.

explains my on and off again presense depending on how I'm feeling. On our 20 week appointment, we found out we are having a girl! I'm actually 23 weeks today. Our tech let us take a sneak peek via 3D because the ultrasound pictures were so clear. She was kicking me the entire time it seemed like. She was so active that the 3D pictures are a little smeared on the far right side-- she is not missing the side of her head or anything. She was just moving so much, it was hard to take the picture before she moved again as the image changed. We are so excited and seeing her 3D made it so amazingly intimate. We were both brimming with tears watching her and thinking about the amazement of God's handiwork and what is going on inside my belly at only 20 weeks. She is healthy with all 10 fingers and 10 toes and beautiful!
