Just because something is or isn't happening in our area, it doesn't mean that the rest of the nation is experiencing or not experiencing the same thing. This way of thinking often alienates us from other parts of the country. Take, for example, the recent snowstorm we experienced. Outside of New England, nobody is really dealing with what we are right now.

The opposite of this happens in real estate.

What has been happening lately is that 80% of houses over a certain price range are being professionally staged and photographed. Why? Because those homes sell for more money and sell faster. Although almost the entire nation stages and professionally photographs their homes, Central New York does not. 

This trend started about 7 or 8 years ago, but did not spread to our area for whatever reason. When you look at homes online outside of Central NY, you'll see that most, if not all of them, are professionally staged.

We understand that this is a national trend and and that 98% of home buyers begin their search online, so we professionally stage and photograph all of our listings with help from 3 different staging companies and a professional photographer. 

If you want to talk about getting your home staged and photographed so you can sell it for more money in a shorter period of time, give us a call or send us a quick email. We would love to be of assistance!
