Home staging: showcase the lifestyle buyers want

Statistics show that 68% of staged homes sell faster and for at least 9% more than non-staged homes. Buyers only know what they see. The way you live in a home versus how you sell it are two different things. Staging your home creates a welcoming environment that sets the tone for potential purchasers to imagine living in your home.

Photo Shoot

At Chase, we believe in using professional photography to highlight your property. Everyone searches for homes online. High-quality, professional photos stand out, while amateur photos are ignored. You have seconds to make a positive first impression with buyers scanning hundreds of listings, so let us connect you with professional photographers who can portray your home in its best light.

Extraordinary video marketing

Homes listed with video receive four times the inquiries of homes listed without video. Chase International up levels our listings with industry-leading video marketing using award-winning creative direction, cutting edge technology, aerial footage, and the most talented videographers in the industry.
