Maryland home stager helps clients sell home one day after staging

(UNITED STATES) May 5, 2011 – Maryland home stager and Staging Diva Graduate, Holly Battaglia, was recently called on to do a home staging consultation for a house that had sat on the market for seven months. It had been shown 65 times but had received no offers despite a price drop of $40,000.

She selected everything that would be brought into the home except for the granite which was chosen before she arrived on the scene,” says Debra Gould, founder of the Staging Diva Home Staging Business Training Program.

On the final day of staging, a buyer’s agent came through to preview the home for his clients. Before he left, the agent predicted that the home would sell quickly. That evening, he returned with his clients who bought the home the very next day.

Gould explains, “Holly’s clients were very grateful as they’d been paying two mortgages for seven months while waiting for the home to sell. Imagine if they had contacted her before dropping their asking price by $40,000!”

In addition to running her home staging business, Holly’s Home Matters, Battaglia is a mother of four and works over 20 hours a week as an oncology RN. About the Staging Diva Home Staging Business Training Program, Battaglia says, “The business aspect of the program has helped me achieve my goals by simplifying how I do business. There are tons of resources available! I feel like Debra is a master marketer and hope to learn more from her.”
