Our apartment stood on the market for 4 months because I thought it was clean, empty, newly painted and polished with super upgrades. We were misinformed that staging costs the earth and so with our low budget we just picked some new Ikea items, and placed them to the best of our knowledge. It did bug our minds each month as we kept dropping our sale price and as the sellers’ market time started overlapping Christmas holidays. Finally our realtor came to our rescue and said he would lend the funds but we must stage it to sell fast. He highly recommended Eve and I blindly trust him as he has worked his place in our hearts as a family member.
When he rang and said Eve has seen the place and has just sent us her quote, I was scared to open my mail. But then I thought, Oh Well! This wonderful agent came out of her way for us on a Sunday and is ready to stage it on a war footing, I must step in with equal jest. So I opened my mail with a deep breath, and Lo! Behold she was so reasonably priced. Also empathetic of our situation (she had waived the consultation fee as well). Oh! My God what had I done to deserve her? who is she? Why did Sam not tell me about her earlier?
While I was still battling these queries she had already got some furniture and items into the apartment. Here too she met us like a rescue flight team. The elevator needed two weeks advance notice for booking, and things were to be snuck in with the help of the concierge and my daughter. It had to be done before admin staff came in at 9 am. She called the movers and came herself and I am sure it was her helpful spirit that all came in order. The admin staff came an hour earlier and instead of being a hindrance they waived the green flag as a onetime helpful gesture. My daughter’s classmate also came along and helped the movers. Within an hour she was already half way into staging the apartment.
That evening I received photographs that made me cry. I had never seen what potential my apartment had and it was dressed to go for the queen’s ball. Eva had proven to .be the fairy in charge, and she had still another surprise for us, she further reduced the service cost using items that were in the apartment. Thank God I was not in the city, because if you could have felt the big hug I sent you eve your slender form would be hurting. God Bless you!! Our Apartment got multiple offers within the week and sold at 99% of the listed price. Hooray!!!! And congratulations to you for all your fruitful efforts.
