Our innovative program takes a vacant house that has been sitting on the market and, with the help of Castle Keepers® Professionals, stages the house with nice furniture. This gives the house a greater emotional appeal to potential buyers, which can help the house sell faster and at a higher price.
Castle Keepers® provides this service at no charge to you or your Realtor. It will dramatically improve the appearance of your vacant house and greatly increase the probability of it selling quickly. The appearance of your house while it is on the market is improved by staging it with beautiful furniture to make potential buyers feel emotionally attracted to the house during showings. This emotional appeal occurs on both the conscious and unconscious level. Positive emotions are what cause most buyers to buy houses.

The Downside of a Vacant House
- More vulnerable to vandalism, frozen water pipes, and water leaks.
- Insurance companies will not insure an vacant house after 60 days, or they will charge you excessive amounts – up to 7 times more.
- Leaving a house vacant leads to deterioration which reduces the property value from:
- Freeze damage
- Foundation cracks
- Loss of expensive landscaping
- HVAC malfunctions
- Holding costs also increase dramatically across the board because of:
- Repair bills
- Utility bills
- Higher maintenance costs
We had our house on the market for several months and did not get one offer. Your "castle keepers" moved into our house, and we received a contract within 60 days. Realtors who showed the house began commenting how nice the house showed with the furnishings in it. Thank you CASTLE KEEPERS!!
