Blue Collar, Small town 1500 sq. ft 3/2/2 NEW!
TV is not real life and what you really need to sell your property is the real live, before, during and after property “transformation” system. That is exactly what you will find in this very quirky investment property. It was bought well and originally lease optioned but after the tenants did not exercise their option, it was determined that it could be fixed up for less than $5000 and sold—Simple Appeal style. This Case Study walks you thru the entire process—my evaluation after the rehab, the curb appeal on this roughly wooded and hardly cared for lot, and finally I take you all the way thru the entire staging—with a team of investors just to show you that you can do it too—right down to my final evaluation.
Property Case Studies NEW!
Curb Appeal
you gotta have it or they will keep driving right on by - The number one real estate search on google is for curb appeal—what does that tell you? You better have it and it better be good. Being an investor myself though, I know the challenges of great curb appeal especially on investment or vacant properties. But, as we know, even on occupied homes, not everyone is “Gardener of the Year”. Chances are no one either has taken care of the property for a long long time or you need it to be maintenance free now because you can’t take the time and energy to take care of it yourself. This case study focuses on curb appeal for multiple types of areas. If you are looking for a quick, inexpensive yet great look, check out this curb appeal case study. It gives you at least 17 different strategies, tips and looks for great curb appeal that gets them to stop every time.
Rehab consultation and getting the most bang for your buck
- Where on earth do you begin when you have peach paint, shake walls, multi colored appliances and a smell so bad that only the mother of an investor could love it? Well, for less than $5000 I show you how to completely reinvent this property. I take a look at everything and figure out what will go, what will stay and what will simply change…in 3 days or less. I actually talk to a contractor (that seems great but we don’t use him because his time frame is too long—and after a few requests, I still never got a quote!) so now you know all the questions to ask. Then we purchase all the items that need to change, make notes of what we won’t be changing ( like the blue, and I mean blue, bathroom) and let the new contractor go to work. In just 3 days, I have new light fixtures installed, new appliances in place ( oh—not all new ones, we painted the dishwasher), new carpet, new paint, new master vanity, window coverings, curb appeal, and the list goes on and on. How did I do it under $5000—that is exactly what this case study shows you. And don’t worry if my property is different than yours, because this will help you to look at any type of property, evaluate it, and go forth and conquer…and make a quick sale!
Middle America has a ton of houses for sale! 3-2-2 (PB)
- How on earth do you actually sell those medium priced homes that are for sale when there are at least another 20 available on every single street in the neighborhood? Marketing and effective staging. In my opinion, even though there are more buyers for this type of house than any other, this is one of the most difficult to sell. It is not new, often has levels and is slightly dated, and there are just so darn many of them. Well, again, what is the difference between one that will sell vs. one that sits? Marketing and Effective staging—and that is exactly what you will see in this case study. This is an extremely easy property to do once you get how to really do it. I will walk you thru the rehab, staging and marketing of this property to show you exactly why it can sell in an environment when so many others are not. You will also get a sneak preview on this one showing you the difference between agents and why it is so vital to have the right agent for the right property. This is an exclusive and honest insight that you won’t find on other case studies or from other staging companies—but it is something that you absolutely must know.
Second Home, Early Retirement Home, upscale destination 4/4/3 (PB)
- So many people automatically think that just because you have a huge home, you have to have it hugely filled in order to sell it. That is simply not the case. The truth is that you are only staging and marketing to highlight the features of the house (or distract from the oddities)—not your staging ability. The best thing you can do is to accent the home with the necessary items along with some complimentary furniture to fill spaces, add color and create a flow throughout a property, but it should never be overfilled. It is the biggest mistake that I see from so many people. They over stage a property so excessively that you really can’t get beyond the staging and have no idea how the home looks. It is a detriment to the sale of the home. To successfully sell large and pricy homes, you need to understand how to “walk” someone thru the property, maintain the flow and continuity of the theme, add a color scheme and create the feel of the home. Ornamentation does not sell a home, emotion does and you will get plenty of that from this beautiful home.

2-Day Staging & Design event DVD - Photo Guide & Manual
The Simple Appeal Staging System has gone nationwide with an average DOM of 23—that is awesome when you consider the national average is 163.7—if you are holding a property—which would you choose? In just 2 days I can show you how to market and stage your property in such a way that everyone that looks will fall in love with it on the spot. You will have to beat the back up contracts off with a stick! The truth is that in a market like today, we have to use every single strategy possible to sell those houses faster (of course, we use our system on wholesale flips to make more fast cash and on rentals and lease options too in order to get a better tenant and more option consideration—and I will show you how to do that too at the Simple Appeal 2 Day Staging and Design Event). It seems that everywhere I turn now, someone is calling themselves a stager. The problem is they only know how to decorate, not to sell. There is a huge difference. Most people put in plants, candles and towels, and call that staging. That is actually accessorizing and it will not sell a property, nor will it make your property memorable by comparison to all the other properties your buyer has looked at that day. At Simple Appeal, we always say “Anyone can make your house pretty, we make your house SELL.” The key is to tie them into the emotion of the property, give them things to make them laugh, surprise them, let them feel something and allow them to enjoy the experience. Give them time to recall memories—just like I do—these are the things that will sell your properties in half the time at full market value…not plants, candles and towels.

If you need to sell your properties faster, for more money in any real estate market, learn how to sell before you ever learn to buy. In real estate, we don’t play with Monopoly money—it is the real deal and you should protect your investment with the right knowledge and education. That is why I spend 2 days showing you all the marketing, open houses, staging and selling techniques necessary to sell those properties. After all—didn’t you get into this business to make a profit? You can start making one in just 2 days.

This is the live event, taped for 2 full days with a room of active real estate brokers and investors, all learning the advantages of Karen Schaefer’s Simple Appeal System. They all know that they might make their money when they buy or list, but they get their check when they sell. That is what this taped 2 day event is all about—selling.

“Actually, it is hard to get this much information all in one place, but with Simple Appeal, we have somehow managed. Imagine being able to learn a new staging, design, marketing and often -investing tip, technique or strategy each and every week from someone that is an expert in staging, marketing and investing. Each and every week I have a brand new topic designed to illustrate the best way to hold an open house with no dollars out of pocket, how to handle a purple bathtub, what are the latest trends in home décor, the best marketing ads and flyers and ultimately, how to make more money on each and every house by buying it right and selling it fast. My Simple Appeal Circle (SAC) calls are designed to be informative, educational and proven for results. They have a strong emphasis on the importance of effective staging, design and marketing which helps hundreds of people each week to add to their bottom line. I research each topic every week to bring you current information, that is often evergreen and when followed correctly, always yields results.

Now is your opportunity to get in on these calls—each and every one of them, or just the ones you need. That is the beauty of the system. Feel free to choose a few, a bunch or the entire series. The more you learn the more you earn which is why I will teach these calls forever! “

The Most Amazing Buying, Selling and Designing FREE Gift Ever (for the real estate industry only!)

$ 723.70 Worth of “Authentic” Money Making Information in the Real Estate, and Design Industry—Yours Absolutely FREE… (just $19.95 S & H)

You are probably wondering why I am giving you $723.70 worth of my best Real Estate and Design Information for FREE (just $19.95 S & H) right?

Well, for two reasons and two reasons only.

  1. Because my current real estate clients, students and Independent Design Advisors asked me to put something incredible in the market place for them and their clients, so that they can continue to learn, grow and prosper each and every month—from someone they trust will give the right information, thoughtful insight and positive, forward thinking direction.

  2. Well, I am ashamed to admit this, but the truth is that I am trying to get you addicted to real estate and design. That is right. It has changed my life as I know it for me and my husband Pete and it will for you too. I mean if I can give you information each and every month that allows you to put tens of thousands of dollars in your pocket on a continual basis-wouldn’t you be waiting breathlessly by your mailbox each month? You would be crazy not to be, right?

So, let me tell you what I have for you…

FREE Gift #1 Value $225.64

You’ll receive a Four CD-set of my most famous staging, marketing, design and author interview VIP calls reserved exclusively for my private high end clients that are actively running successful real estate investment, real estate industry and design companies.

These are weekly and monthly live calls and I routinely have people that can’t get on because of full lines due to the impact they make in everyone’s business that follows the advice.

I have had my VIP clients (meaning they have at very minimum given me $997 to be a part of my Simple Appeal Circle) tell me that the breakthrough information they receive on these calls is what continually allows them to sell their properties in ½ the time at full market value—even in a lousy market—and continually helps them to explode their real estate business.

Others tell me that the real estate, marketing, staging and design updates keep them current on all the latest trends and techniques—saving them hundreds of dollars in advertising and thousands of dollars in rehab and making them six and seven figure net profit incomes.

I have to say, though, my favorite part is the pictures and success stories that everyone sends me with their huge success stories ranging from the clever marketing they did for an open house with costumed characters (more on that later) to the incredible display of creativity and sheer joy they experienced in delivering just the right house to just the right customer by designing it so perfectly, it brought tears to the buyers eyes…and sometimes mine too! I am not even mentioning their profits!

The negotiation techniques, the savvy market tracking and the sheer genius when it comes to constructing offers and selling properties is second to none.

So, I gotta tell you, these calls are different, unique, creative and filled with tough love during the open Q and A—but produce solid, proven, money making results.

“Thanks for taking us under your wings. With this kind of support and education, Success is inevitable! We are very implressed with you enthusiasm and commitment - Kathleen & Keith Freebern – Boulder, Colorado

You see, I have been able to achieve what most people only dream about—personal and business financial freedom. The personal one is far more important to me but the business one is what got me the personal freedom in the first place.

What do I mean by “personal freedom?”

I work out of my home with my husband, and my crazy dog Daisy.

THIS IS DAISY

The three of us walk into town every morning (about 1 ½ miles each way), have a cup of coffee and walk back. We usually take an afternoon walk as well.

This weekend, as I write this, is Labor Day weekend. We are waiting for everyone to start coming back home on Monday, then we are going to leave for 3 days of camping.

We will also leave in the middle of the month for 3 weeks, to celebrate Pete’s grandmothers 90th birthday, and his cousins wedding, in Europe. On our way home, we are going to stop at our good friend’s home, Dr. Paul Hartunian and spend a few days with him and his partner, Mary Cody—and their family of foster dogs!

These are the things that are important to me. And I should mention, I was able to achieve all of this with zero backing from anyone, a negative bank and credit card balance of $118,000 and absolutely no training, not any in real estate or design.

When you have an understanding of ALL that I do, study and test each and every day, you can at least equal my accomplishments, and as you wish, surpass them.

But please, don’t mistake this as “fluff.” This is “hard hitting, sell those houses, make a ton of money, obtain multiple streams of income, build your business and enjoy your life information.”

“ Karen’s teachings and strategies are second to none – I wait every month for “The Real Report” to arrive and thoroughly devour it!!!! - Mubeen Mahmoud, St.Louis, MO

For me, the freedom that I have achieved with my real estate and design success has allowed me to say “No” to anything that I simply don’t want to do. And, I gotta tell you…

THAT FEELS GOOD!

If there is someone I don’t want to work with or simply don’t have the time, I have the freedom of saying “No.” I don’t have any pressure nor do I worry about offending someone. As a matter of fact, quite the opposite happens now when I say “no,”—they offer me more—more money, more flexibility, more of everything. Usually, I still say no, which still feels good!

I have arranged my lifestyle to fit myself and my family.

If you are looking for this type of freedom, take advantage of the free gift now.

You will be sorry if you missed out on this one, as it is so good, I am only going to offer it to 217 people.

But Wait…There’s Plenty More!

FREE Gift #2 Value $119.91

Enjoy 2 full Months of my VIP, membership only program.

I will be honest with you. I don’t like to give anything away for free. It is not that I am cheap (well, sometimes…) but the truth is, I think people find far greater value in something that they pay for vs. something that is just given to them. We tend to actually use and implement something that costs us money vs. setting it aside “when you have time” if there is not cost attached.

But, Pete talked me into this. He said that I had to “trust in our customer—that they would prove themselves superior when given the chance—so give them the chance.” I said “okay.”

So for the next 2 months, you will receive my Ultimate “REAL REPORT” Letter Series. Each issue is at least 8 packed pages, usually more. Current members tell me they wait for it to be delivered to their mailbox each month as though they are waiting for the mailman to bring them a check—because it has the same effect when you use the information—it puts money into your account each and every month.

There are always terrific examples of “what works,” tried, tested and true. Current real estate market news, timely strategic articles, recent trends in design and staging, case studies, on going education, connections and support…and more. I think it is safe to say it is J-A-M P-A-C-K-E-D!

For the next 2 months, as my VIP member you will get the opportunity to be on one of my , live open calls that I host 2-3 times a year (sometimes more) in to all of my VIP members. You can call in and ask any type of advise or strategy implementation idea that you need—not to mention that this will be a call only for you—not everyone and their brother—just my VIP select members—obviously this makes it substantially easier for you to get that “One on one” access to me that most of you request.

I’ll even give you “The Farm!”

…well, just about…with all sorts of special access to private articles, exclusive staging and design photos and tons of insights from my personal mentors and associates that you won’t get anywhere else.

Here is a little bit of “gold” for you—my VIP vendor list for my VIP client list. Not only will you have the opportunity to be one of my vendors (but I have to be honest here, I only accept what I consider to be people of the absolute highest caliber, with amazing service, fantastic product and incredible ethics)—but now, you can use, who I use. Often, in my career, I think I could have saved myself months of time and thousands of dollars had someone just helped me out by telling me who to use when I needed the right person for the right job. Well, guess what, you get mine—and when you find someone extraordinary, let me know—I will interview them for our VIP vendor list.

Talk about saving money--you are now entitled to special discounts for events, products, services, special promotions and much much more! Whether we are having a Simple Appeal event, promoting a new real estate coaching program, or hosting a copywriting and marketing event—have a sale on rugs—speaking equipment—whatever—you will be the first to know and the first to get your hands on the special discount—which will always be in limited supply, which is why you will get first pick!

Whew—I am gonna have to stop and catch my breath! All of this free for 60 days! I currently charge my VIP select members $39.97 a month for all of this, so you can see why everyone of them gladly pays it and waits with bated breath at their mailboxes each and every month.

We’re part of Karen Schaefer’s group. We have been involved in several programs in the past. We are so impressed with the material because of the detail, depth of knowledge and most importantly – the money-making ideas and strategies that are communicated and taught!
