Message from our Founder

TinaHello everyone,

Well, I couldn’t let October’s newsletter go by without having something to say about Halloween, especially now that I’m living in the USA. So welcome to our Halloween Special. Now don’t worry - I’m not going to talk about that contentious topic of American imports ‘trick or treat’ or give you the recipé for homemade pumpkin pie. More importantly it’s the realisation that if you’ve not accepted an offer by 31st of October you’ll not move until AFTER Christmas – now that’s Scary!!

scarecrowI’d like to say a big thank you to Steve and Maria for keeping things running with the newsletter over the last couple of months while I’ve been settling in to my new home in a new country. I’ve already been back to the UK to film a new BBC1 programme coming to your screens in November - so look out for that. Many of you have asked how things will carry on without me in the country and the simple answer is that it’s very much "business as usual". My Directors Steve and Maria are running the day-to-day business. That now frees me up to focus on Global Branding, Promotions, Public Relations and developing the newsletter and websites – so watch this space.

So, what’s new this month?

Well, we have our EXTREME marketing plan which helps property professionals and homeowners get the most from their property marketing; we’ve got an interview with an Estate Agent; Chris shares why HE uses Home Stagers services to help his business and his clients; we’ve got some snippets from our clients who tell how they are coping in the market; we’ve got the latest Press and TV updates on where we are and what we are doing in the industry; we’ve given you some insights into the power of colour and why it pays to get professional help and what we’re doing to help developers topumpkin get those sales in before Halloween; the team brings you our own business success story and how we are helping property companies survive in this market; as well as the latest in new legislation which means you can now build a loft conversion without the need for planning permission and the latest in EPCs. We also have a selection of our latest Hot Properties to showcase what we can achieve when you have empty property to sell.

Until next month - when we’ll be looking at what we can do to market a property in the run up to Christmas and what incentives we can offer property developers to encourage buyers to complete in the last week before Christmas.

Happy Halloween, Tina

Sell by Halloween - Move in by Christmas

scarecrow wreathJeepers Creepers – how do I get a sale by Halloween? With only a few more weeks left to get buyers in, so that you can complete the sale before Christmas, how can you pull out all the stops and SELL?

There's no business like Show Business How are businesses who supply to the property industry holding up in the worst property crisis ever seen? One success story to dispel the doom and gloom.

Two weeks to go! If you’re selling your home, remember there’s just two weeks to go before the sale season closes for winter. If you want to get an offer, it’s time to move fast.

Staging vs. Interior Decoration – what’s the Difference? Our clients often ask if there is really any difference between interior decorating and staging their homes ready for sale – after all, the basic design elements are much the same – for instance, proportion, scale, colourways and so on?

Autumn stagingThe Emotional Power of Colour Choosing the right combination of colours throughout a property which you plan to sell can make a huge difference in how people react to buying the property.

New month, new property regulations The October winds have blown in some new regulations that affect both professional landlords and home owners.

TESTIMONIAL

Estate Agent Interview from Chris Hall, Estate Agent and ex-president of the NAEA

Chris Hall"I came across Home Stagers and founder Tina Jesson about the turn of the millennium when I immediately loved the concept. As an ordinary agent at the time I immediately spotted an opportunity for my business by offering my clients, sellers, landlords and developers alike a product that would not only enhance my standing but one that was easy to deliver and allow me to stand out from the crowd.

"Teaming up with Home Stagers enhanced my business, helping my home sellers or landlords better prepare their homes for sale or to let. I am able to give general constructive feedback to a home owner about how to prepare for the market, but professional Home Stagers can drive home the point when working with sellers.

"Their attention to detail and the extra time they spend with my clients benefits me and the home seller or Landlord with a far better presentation of their property. The personalized service which I have offered has made me look good and won me more instructions, the client gets good practical hands-on advice which has helped me to market the property most effectively with view to getting a quicker sale for my client. It really is "win : win" all round."
