Did you know that staging has been around since the early 90's. But back then it was used in limited settings and for more high end homes. It's taken a lot of years to get where staging is a marketing tool that is used by savvy Realtors and homeowners to sell homes. . HGTV in the last few years have targeted the home improvement market.

- 05/06/07 11:30 AM

sell home by staging: What is home or Real Estate Staging?
- 05/06/07 02:08 AM
Staging is not a new concept.. it has been around since the early 90's but like everything it takes an idea to travel around awhile before everyone catches the concept and can see the value. HGTV was the wild fire for establishing the staging concept. They informed their viewers about this innovative concept of presenting the home completing ready to the future homeowners. By de-cluttering, de-personalizing, reshaping the existing furniture or adding a complete home of furniture to fit the home it helps to establish an excitement and a connection to the new homeowner. Staging is not going to go away any time soon, so … (2 comments)

sell home by staging: Who pays for staging -Homeowner or Realtor?
- 04/29/07 03:22 PM
We have the largest staging company in Reno so we provide a higher level of service and products than most other staging companies. We own all of the furnishings and accessories and we have alot of them. And it's our products that always makes a house beautiful and unique. So after you decide that you are going to stage who will pay for it? I would say that about 70% of the time the homeowner pays for the service. After we build a relationship with a Realtor we find that they want every house staged because they see the benefit and they pay for the … (2 comments)
sell home by staging: Staging is here to stay
- 04/29/07 05:04 AM
The reason staging is here to stay is because it works! About 80% of our work is real estate staging for vacant houses. Yes houses not homes. There is a difference. A home is place where a family lives and a house is the opposite the family is gone and lacks interest and personality because the home is empty. We change that when we stage. We are different than other staging companies because we do not lease any of our furniture or accessories...we own them. After we load in our unique home furnishings and accessories the home looks beautiful and captures the interest of … (0 comments)
sell home by staging: Virtual Tour..After you've staged
- 04/29/07 04:07 AM
I'm a real estate stager so of course I believe in virtual tours. The projects that we complete always look better when a virtual is done and why wouldn't you want to have your investment advertised in the best format. Regular or still pictures just do not give the true dimensions of each room not to mention the quality of lighting, angles and general overall look of the room does not come across as exciting as a virtual tour will provide. Why not consider virtual tours as part of your marketing strategy. More than ever people are shopping on the Internet and this format is … (0 comments)
sell home by staging: Adding SPARKLE to the home
- 04/29/07 03:42 AM
Adding sparkle to any home is important. In this case I am talking about the lighting throughout the home. This not only includes the electrical lighting but also the light that comes from the windows. Make sure that all the light bulbs are working and are the proper wattage so that the room is properly illuminated. In addition make sure all the windows throughout the home have been professionally cleaned inside and out. This will make a HUGE difference in allowing natural light to flood the room. Having natural light coming into the room will create a mood that can not be recreated easily with … (2 comments)
sell home by staging: Pay day...Real estate staging are you using it?
- 04/29/07 03:17 AM
Staging is what can help you stand out from other Realtors. There still are many Realtors that don't use staging services. What I don't understand about this choice is that advertising the home in many different ways is how the home is sold. Networking, word of mouth, print advertising, Internet, virtual tours- there are so many ways to invest in advertising when you are trying to sell the home so why not include real estate staging. Staging can be one of the BEST investments before you start any marketing efforts. Without having the home in showcase form the rest can become very costly. The … (0 comments)
sell home by staging: Curbside...Stage it!
- 04/29/07 01:53 AM
Buyers begin to make decisions whether they will buy the house as soon as they drive up to it. We stage the front and the back of the house. Sometimes it can be as simple as putting pots with flowers by the entry area which will add color and welcome the buyer. But often the homeowner has had no interest in gardening or yard work and the front of the home lacks interest. Call in an expert to get and estimate. You'll be surprised that often it only takes a small investment that will make a huge difference in the look of … (2 comments)
sell home by staging: Stage it...sell it!
- 04/16/07 04:53 PM
Has the real estate market in your area gone flat? In the Reno market it has really slowed down and Realtors are looking for creative ways to sell the home. Staging is a great way to get new interest in a home that has been on the market for over 30 days. But why wait until the home has been on the market for 30-60-90 days. Get it staged and sell it! If you put staging as a part of your marketing strategy as you speak to your client on the listing if they decide against using staging at the beginning you will have … (3 comments)
