What is Home Staging?
Home staging is preparing a home for sale to appeal to a wide variety of buyers, which results in a quicker and more profitable sale.
Most buyers can not visualize a homes potential. Staging creates warm, inviting spaces that persuade buyers to linger and emotionally "move in" instead of "moving on" to the next house.
How you live in a 'home' and how you sell a 'house' are very different!
Why Stage?
- Staged homes increase sale profit by 8-12%
- Staged homes sell faster. Staging makes your home more competitive in the selling market.
- Buyers buy emotionally. They look with logic, but they buy with emotion. Staging creates an emotional response in buyers
- First impressions are critical; buyers decide if they like a home within the first 30 seconds and staging creates a series of great first impressions-
- Clutter Eats Equity. You should de clutter and remove personal items so buyers can see the house, not your belongings.
- Don't wait to stage. Buyer activity is highest in the first month and staging costs less than your first price reduction would.
- 76% of Realtors recommend staging to their sellers
