Recently I was at a table with four very accomplished women. Each had graduated from college and each had her Master’s Degree. Bravo!! We have come a long way, baby and I am a big fan of education but sitting amongst the lettered, I began to feel like I was shrinking. I wondered briefly if I looked like Dobby, the house elf of Harry Potter fame.
I dreaded the question of my college affiliation and carefully weighed the merits of “Gryffindor” or “Slytherin” before coming clean with the awful truth…I don’t have my college degree! Oh, impetuous youth! Oh, High School Musical subplot! If only the Invisibility Cloak were hanging on the back of my chair!
Sometimes a simple decision can make all the difference! And don’t we all wrestle with decisions every day?
Decisions like:
Should I Spock or should I Ferberize?
Should I work at an office or work at home?
Should I choose to eat the earwax or the vomit jellybean?
I mean, really, there are so many decisions!
So, I posed the question to myself, “What would make someone decide to stage their home?”
Here’s some statistics from the Staged Homes (www.stagedhomes.com) website:
- Homes that are not staged are on the market for an average of 161 days.
- Homes that are staged by an ASP are on the market for about 31 days.
- AND 93% of ASP Staged Homes sell in 1 month or less!
Abracadabra and Shazam! The simple decision to stage your home can make all the difference – it’s almost magic!!
It’s kind of like biting into that jellybean and finding out it is chocolate mint!
Go Gryffindor!
