Real Estate Agent Property Management Staging Services
A tougher real estate market has prompted more real estate pros to add to their skill sets to better aid and attract customers. A recent article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution highlighted a few of these expanded marketing approaches.
For example, more real estate pros are breaking into property management, helping sellers find renters instead of home owners for lingering properties. Home-staging services are also increasing as more real estate pros devote more time to sprucing up for-sale properties to improve its chances of getting sold.
Some real estate pros are getting training in staging to offer the service as an added perk to their clients or to learn how to work with stagers as part of their real estate team to get properties sold.
More real estate professionals are also highlighting downpayment assistance programs such as lesser known federal and local programs in the marketing of homes to lure more buyers. In Atlanta, for instance, nearly three dozen home-buying assistance programs are available, and not just for low-income buyers, says Rob Chrane, president and founder of Workforce Resources, which connects people to hard-to-find financial resources. A first-time buyer in Atlanta, for example, could be eligible for assistance on a home worth up to $300,000.
