DESIGNER HOMETENDING OPENS IN SACRAMENTO, COMPANY'S THIRD LOCATION IN CALIFORNIA OFFERING TEMPORARY OCCUPANCY FOR HOME SALES

 

SACRAMENTO, February 6, 2009– Designer HomeTending, a temporary and free occupant service for owners of vacant homes, has opened in Sacramento, California, the company's third California office since entering the market late last year. Danny Torgersen and Joe Bird, who have backgrounds in business, marketing and real estate, are co-general managers of the Sacramento office.

 

Designer HomeTending, the leading company of its kind in the United States, with additional offices in Boise, Denver, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas and Southern California, assists owners of vacant homes by providing experienced and pre-qualified temporary live-in managers to care for homes while on the market. There is no cost to homeowners, real estate agents or builders for this service, and hometenders "can live in mansions for the price of studio apartments."

 

Designer HomeTending matches approved, professional live-in hometenders with homes until they sell, making the homes more visually appealing to prospective buyers, safer for their neighborhoods, and insurable. The company maintains that homes sell 40 to 60 percent faster if professionally staged and cared for by subcontracted hometenders. And for a limited time, homeowners and real estate agents who join the program by February 28, 2009 will receive a free virtual tour on tourfactory.com worth approximately $200.

 

Says Cathy Cardenas, Designer HomeTending founder and CEO, "Sacramento-area homes in the program will be assisted by a professional home stager. Industry studies prove that a well-furnished home sells much faster and at a better price than a vacant house. Hometenders help bring life back into a vacant home, and that can be a positive selling point for a market filled with thousands of vacant houses."

 

"Our service, now launching in the Sacramento area, can be the great equalizer or key solution to getting homes off the market," concludes Cardenas. Visit Designer HomeTending at www.designerhometending.com.
