Having a vacant home on the real estate market "For Sale", can be a huge hassle. Who will protect your home from vandalism, theft and unnoticed water leaks? Who will mow and water the lawn? Who will keep the pool clean and put in the needed chemicals? Who will open the property for the repair men so they can work? Who is going to clean up broken limbs and trash that collects around the property? Many Homeowners have relocated to other cities and states leaving their home vacant and unattended. Some Homeowners locally have built or purchased another home and have already relocated to it, leaving their previous home vacant. Caring for a home away from your homestead can become a burden. Realtors are not paid to monitor it and rarely do. The Realtor's job is to sell the home and nothing more. It is time consuming to make arrangements with landscaping and pool services, and then wonder if it was done correctly. Homeowners' insurance premiums typically go up for insuring a vacant home. Many insurance companies refuse to renew policies on a vacant home. Most insurance companies will not pay a damage claim if the company was not informed when the house became vacant.
What are the facts?
According to a StagedHomes.com along with many others sources, research has proven that professionally staged homes will typically sell in 50% less time than a vacant home and for an average of 7% higher price. A vacant home often sends a signal to a buyer that this is a distressed home sale. Often Homeowners with vacant homes receive low-ball offers. Home Staging has become more popluar in recent years since many people realize having their home staged will help get it sold faster. Local companies charge between $1,000 to $4,000 per month based upon the homes size and value. Some Homeowner's cannot or choose not to take on this costly monthly expense. Our Home Staging services save Homeowners thousands of dollars every month. Homeowners that use Showcase Home Management services greatly increase their chances of getting it sold faster and at a higher sale price. Showcase Home Management pays some of the holding cost of the home. Add up the cost of maintaining a vacant home: Utility Bills, Landscaping Service, Pool Service and the added cost of insuring a vacant home. All these services must be utilized to maintain the showing condition of the home. Luxury Homes, especially in this market, may take longer to get sold, therefore Homeowners often save thousands of dollars having these bills paid.
How does it work?
Showcase Home Management takes over the complete management and care for your home. We begin by carefully qualifying and assigning trained Home Managers who own beautiful furniture & quality decor to temporarily reside and manage the home. They perform in enhancing the home in several facets in exchange for paying a quarter of the typical market rental fees to us. We match the Home Manager's furniture & decor to your home's style, size and value. Our (ASP) Accredited Staging Professional determines the best way to display the furniture & decor so your house will transform from looking empty, stale and plain, to a stylish and beautiful SHOWCASE "Model Home". Realtor showings on your home to potential buyers will be greatly enhanced. When the home sells, the Home Managers quickly move out according to terms of closing date. Typically Home Managers move to the next vacant home to repeat the process all over again. Local Home Tending companies offer a simular service but they fall short. They do not have Accredited Staging Professionals, therefore frequently the furniture and decor they approve actually detracts from the home's presentation. They are less selective to who manages the home and they do not provide any additional services that enhance your property. Showcase Home Management charges a small screening and set-up fee to ensure you receive high quality staging and services. Showcase Home Management works in conjunction with all realty companies Realtors by assisting me on getting the home sold. The upscale staging presentation of the homes and quality of our management services are vital to our success.
