Home Owner Benefits
When we begin, we start preparing the home for a Resident Staging Manager (RSM) to move in. This involves cleaning, inspection and evaluation by our Professional Interior Design Team to personalize our services for the home.
We also immediately begin the process of
matching furnishings to the home and selecting a qualified and
trained RSM that owns the furniture and décor that are a match to
your vacant home.
The RSM will reside there, furnish, care for,
and present your home in “Model Home” condition at all times.
The RSM adds the touch of “life”
dimension that truly transforms a house into a home.
When an RSM is matched, they move in & the transformation begins!
As soon as the RSM is moved in, our Professional Interior Design Team goes to work to place the furniture and décor creating an attractive and beautifully furnished environment that is both more secure and marketable!
Staged Homes Sell Faster!
Faster
Most Model Home environments sell
faster because of their marketability
Furnished and occupied homes sell
faster than vacant listings
Model Homes maximize the potential of
the Home
Buyers are able to build an emotional
tie to the warmth of a decorated and lived in home
Always in “Model Home” Condition –
A potential buyer should never find
dishes in the sink, appliances on the counter-top, nor unmade beds
RSMs are trained in how to keep the
home clean and presentable at all times
MHA performs regular inspections to
insure a perfectly maintained home
We maintain white glove cleanliness
standards
The landscape, pool & walkways will be
inviting and ready for buyer eyes
Higher Activity Level
–
A home that is shown more has a greater
the likelihood to sell faster
Realtors will show a MHA Home more often because they love to show an inviting home.
Emotional Link
–
An emotional connection is always a
part of a “This is it!” home purchase
Buyers form an emotional decision about
a home in the first 30 seconds after arriving
Buyers will spend more time in a warm
and decorated home
Entering an MHA staged home, creates
that emotional bond
Fresh Fragrant Environment
–
When a showing is scheduled, the RSM
will turn on the lights, perhaps light a
candle to make the home inviting to the
senses.
RSM’s often use fresh flowers,
potpourri & live plants
The RSM keeps the home clean & vibrant
A vacant house takes on musty, stale
odors even if it is staged with furniture
The touch of life a RSM provides helps
by keeping the air fresh and circulated
Perfect temperatures are maintained
encouraging a comfortable environment
Our Staged & Maintained Homes Save You Money!

utilities, landscape & pool care

vacant home and a mortgage

we reduce your maintenance costs
Lower Insurance Costs

insure a vacant property
EXAMPLE:
Annual insurance costs:
Vacant $300,000 house $6,500 annually

cancel policies on vacant houses
Occupied homes offer much needed
security, while protecting your investment
