Home staging is the act of preparing a home for sale in the real estate marketplace by showcasing it in its most attractive light. The goal of home staging is to make a home appeal to the highest number of potential buyers, thereby selling a property more quickly and for more money.
Staging techniques focus on de-cluttering, de-personalizing and arranging furniture and accessories to appeal to potential buyers.
A Certified Home Stager will be able to walk into your home and view it through the eyes of a buyer, offering suggestions and recommendations to be completed before the house is listed on the market. The way a home is lived in versus the way a home is sold, are two very different looks. The Stager will be able to portray the home as “neutral”, thus appealing to more buyers.
The Statistics
63% of buyers will pay more for a “move in ready” home. Home staging helps buyers envision simply replacing their furniture with what is already in the home, therefore, taking the guess work out of arranging their items.
Staged homes sell, on average, 89% faster than un-staged homes!
Staging is no longer a “nice to have”—it is a vital step toward maximizing equity, and makes good business sense for Realtors, homeowners and prospective buyers.
