[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agent here.  I pay for and stage everything from the humblest condo to the biggest new house.   All of them have sold in less than two weeks, usually a weekend.  Because I get properties  sold quickly, I get more business.  One new listing pays for all of my staging for the year

Most agents are unsuccessful and cheap. They will not pay for staging.  Houses do not sell as fast.  They do not get business. They remain unsuccessful.

But what's your rate? If it's higher than 5%, then you're just passing on the cost to your clients. Also, are you selling in Bethesda or Olney?[/quote]

Arlington.  5%.  If I represented seller in a purchase 4.5%.

Wrapping up the sale of a listing that sold for 8.9% above best comp from March 2023.  No contingencies.   Sellers are pleased.

DP here but you're smart to just pay for the staging. You're likely netting more clients just by offering that service. Plus you can make sure the home looks good so it sells for the best price, which also leads to more referrals. I agree with you that most realtors are unsuccessful because they look at what clients can do for them rather than the other way around. You have to offer something to build a sustainable client base, but most of the realtors just don't get this.[/quote]

“Smart” means pp is charging his/her clients a higher-than-necessary rate to pay for staging that no comprehensive studies, just anecdotes, says is effective. [/quote]
