Professional Staging

Distinguished Homes is a full-service home staging and interior design company located in West Michigan. Our goal is to provide the clients of Jaqua Realtors a positive experience in readying their home for the real estate market. In many instances, we are also helping these same clients after the sale, assisting in the selection of paint, flooring, cabinetry, furnishings and overall design of their new home.

• 41% of Buyers are more willing to walk through a staged home they saw online

• 39% of Buyers say a staged home will positively impact a home’s value, if decorated to buyers taste

DISTINGUISHED HOMES OFFERS:

Market-Ready Consultation

(For occupied and vacant homes)

After a walk-thorough of your home, I provide a comprehensive market-ready checklist to prepare your home for pictures and showings. This service includes ideas on furniture placement and decor and guidance on reduction of personal effects and clutter. The visit also addresses the homes condition/cleanliness and needed maintenance. Both the interior and exterior of the house is considered in the consultation.

Household Coordination

Household coordination services are geared towards seniors or those looking to downsize/simplify. This service will identify projects to prepare the home for sale and moving. We will coordinate quotes from services providers,take inventory of furnishings, create a pre-move floor plan and thoughtful guidance on how to reduce household items.

Cleaning, Organizing & De-Cluttering

Our organization services help our clients present a well-maintained home by organizing small spaces such as closets, pantries, and cabinets. Our cleaning services make sure your home makes the best possible first impression with buyers and makes the selling process a snap. Our de-cluttering services help neutralize the home regarding personal items or taste.

Virtual Photo Staging

This service places stylish furniture, artwork and decor into photos of vacant properties, allowing buyers to visualize themselves in the home. It serves as an economical choice for showing your listing as a desirable, well designed space. We can create rooms of any style, from modern to traditional. We recommend that professional photos are taken as it allows for a more realistic outcome.

Professional Photography

A professional photography session will be scheduled for your property. The high-end, quality photos produced by our photographers will professionally showcase your home’s amenities, creating added interest for potential buyers.

In addition to the interior and exterior shots, in some cases I find it beneficial to incorporate the use of drone photography or sunset/sunrise shots. These unique images can enhance the appeal of the home online, and in print materials.

A moving video with sound makes an excellent promotional piece that will increase your home’s visibility.

These tools can translate into more activity and ultimately a higher sales price for your home.

Below are some examples of impactful professional photos I have utilized for my listings...

Social Media Strategy

I further promote my listings utilizing social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. These tools have greatly increased public awareness of, and interest in, my listings.

Facebook & Instagram

A strong social media presence means heightened awareness and interest for your home.

Adwerx Integration

Adwerx is a custom digital advertisement that targets homebuyers surrounding your property on Facebook and Instagram, as well as major websites including The Wall Street Journal, ESPN.com and many more.

Your property will be in front of potential home buyers wherever they go online. These are behaviorally targeted ads geared towards potential buyers in the market looking at listings, using mortgage calculators, searching for moving companies and more.

Open Houses

Your Open House would be featured in a variety of area publications, in order to maximize exposure and attendance.

When touring your home, potential buyers are offered information regarding the property, financing options, area highlights and school information. Refreshments are provided in order to prolong a guest’s visit and create a relaxed setting.

The goal of the Open House is to encourage interested buyers to visit, facilitate interaction with the agent and create an inviting atmosphere in which to showcase your home.

LakeFront Properties

Jaqua lakefront homes are often advertised in Homes and Lifestyles, Real Estate Guide, Waterfront Magazine, The Shopper, The Commercial Record and area visitor and chamber guides. These publications are instrumental in the promotion of our lakefront properties. Thousands are distributed annually to corporations, area hotels and local businesses in the community.

#LoveLakeLiving!

My years of experience assisting upscale Buyers, and my connections with current purchasers shopping for lake living gives my Seller clients a solid advantage in this market. And promoting a luxury waterfront home is not a one-size fits all plan.

Buyers who seek lake homes typically have a clear picture about the lifestyle they envision. And most would agree that a large part of the draw is the relaxed, laid-back feeling that being on the water provides. In order to package and “sell” that feeling, there are ways to position and promote a waterfront property that can generate a high level of interest, and possibly competition amongst Buyers. I work closely with my hired photographer as well as my marketing team when promoting lakefront offerings. With special print material, creative photographs, moving drone videos and waterfront magazine ads, my goal is to create a unique story about each individual property, and demonstrate the standout features that the home and lake provide.

Luxury Home Services

Executive or highly customized properties can benefit from an enhanced level of promotional endeavors.

In order to reach exclusive clientele, here are some additional efforts I typically employ. These tools are designed to increase your property’s exposure to potential purchasers in your price category.

Executive Email Campaign

An electronic version of your home’s photo brochure is created and emailed to Jaqua’s exclusive Executive Homebuyer Email List with a link to your property’s dedicated website. This list contains potential homebuyers in the areas surrounding your home that are eligible candidates for purchasing higher end homes like yours.

Luxury Post Sign

A larger, wooden post sign is installed at eye level to better capture the attention of potential buyers.

Direct Mail

A high-quality, professionally printed postcard is mailed to a curated database, exposing your property to the highest potential buyers.

Custom Property Website

A dedicated website with a unique URL is designed to showcase the features of your home and increase your property’s online exposure.

Electronic Home Resume

Along with the printed version of your property’s home resume, I will provide a digital version that can be shared directly to potential buyers and is viewable on a phone or desktop computer. This electronic brochure can also be shared via social media.

Pricing Strategy

Determining your home’s value

I will provide you with a complimentary Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to assist you in understanding the value of your home.

The CMA consists of:

• An on-site evaluation of the home

• A review of records from the local municipality

• Research and review of recent sales of similar properties

• A comparison of competing homes currently active on the market

This will provide you with a more comprehensive understanding of your home’s value in today’s market NUMEROUS

How soon would you like to sell?

As you contemplate this, some factors to consider are:

• Evaluating recent buyer activity in your price range and area

• The condition and location of your homeoverall desirability

• Seasonal fluctuations in the market

• Recent days on market for comparable properties in your immediate area

Pricing Strategy

In order to achieve the best outcome, your home should be priced to appeal to the greatest number of potential buyers. Think of the real estate market as a triangle, with the height representing the list price and width representing the number of potentially interested buyers for your home.

At the lowest price, the home appeals to numerous buyers. At the top, your home is priced higher than similar properties, which will reduce the number of interested parties and may increase market time.

Prior to any Buyer visits your home should be thoroughly cleaned. In addition, removing unnecessary items is a must. The less clutter you have in your home, the more spacious it will appear. Consider doing the following:

• Remove all clutter, items from countertops and excess furniture

• Clean, Clean, Clean (windows, floors, carpet)

• De-personalize your home

• Remove all evidence of pets

• Organize your pantry and laundry room

• Clean out your closets

• Fix anything that implies required maintenance

• Replace wallpaper and/or paint the walls in a neutral color palette

• Clean and polish kitchen and bathroom cabinets

Preparing Your Home Interior Before a Showing

• If a space feels dated, consider replacing cabinet hardware, adding interest with a kitchen backsplash, or replace old faucets

Seemingly simple changes can make a profound impact on buyers opinion of the home.

• Clear off desks, counters and workspaces

• Make the beds and run the vacuum

• Stash toys and clear items from floors

• Turn on all of the lights and open all blinds even for day time showings

• Take pets out of the home, and put away evidence of them

• Neutralize any and all odors!

• Play soft background music when possible
