THE REAL ESTATE bubble may not have burst, but certainly has developed enough leaks to make home sellers know the days of multiple offers, quick sales and double-digit profits are waning. Quality sells, particularly in a competitive marketplace where a glut of "FOR SALE" signs can allow buyers to become fussy customers.

Art Source offers a art rental program to help homeowners and stagers enhance your
home with art. Clients can choose from a wide range of contemporary fine art to suit most tastes and preferences. Rental works include prints and original paintings.

Simplicity is key

First impressions do matter to home buyers. How do you get an edge in a sluggish real estate market? Renting art to transform your living space from drab to dramatic may be the answer. Art provides a sophisticated finishing touch for your home. The goal is to get your home looking its best before any other home like it in the market. Your home - if it looks best and is priced right - should sell first.

Beating the competition
The Wall Street Journal announced that as home sales start to tumble, real estate agents are using art as sales tools. After showing homes that are undecorated and getting no offers, agents are hanging expensive pieces of artwork to make rooms look glamorous, which brings in offers. Statistics compiled indicate staged homes sell in an average of nine days versus 164 days for unstaged homes. In addition, staged houses typically sell for a 7 percent premium over comparable unstaged homes.

A worthwhile investment
Real estate agents in a slow market are quick to suggest dropping a home's asking price. A 5 percent price reduction on a $500,000 house slices a home sellers profit by $25,000. an amount many times the cost of home staging. The investment of renting art for your home is far less than a price reduction on your home.

The Art Source Rental Program is affordable, flexible and easy. The tradeoff for your rental investment may be your home’s quick transformation from "FOR SALE" to "SOLD".
