Staging Services
What is Home Staging?
Home
staging is the act of preparing a private residence for sale in the real
estate marketplace.
When your home is presented to buyers as a place they foresee themselves
living in it will sell faster and for more money. The goal of staging is
to sell a home quickly, and for the most money possible by attracting the
highest amount of potential buyers. Staging focuses on improving a property
to make it appeal to the largest number of buyers by transforming it into
a welcoming, appealing, and attractive product for sale.
Staging raises the value of a property by way of reducing the home's flaws,
depersonalizing, decluttering, cleaning, improving condition items, and landscaping.
For vacant homes, rental furniture is used to create a living space the buyer
could "see" themselves in. Properly executed staging leads the
eye to attractive features while minimizing flaws. When your home is presented
to buyers as a place they foresee themselves living in it will sell faster
and for more money. U.S. research (based on surveys of real-estate agents)
states that home staging can fetch as much as 10-15% more than an empty home
or a home not properly staged. And sell in half the time!
Today’s real estate market is competitive. Staging your home will give
it the advantage it needs to stand out from the rest since most buyers have
an opinion of the home within 30 seconds of walking in the door.
Investing in staging your home will always cost less than a price reduction.
Lets “WOW” the buyers
