What is Home Staging really?

  Will it sell my house?  "Home staging" is not a new term, but for many homeowners and real estate agents the concept of "professional home staging" is shedding new light on how to promote a home in the real estate marketplace. In past years, homeowners were left to their own discretion as far as preparing for home showings. Though they could occasionally rely on an agent for instructions, more often than not real estate agents were just as perplexed at working out the details as the homeowner. How important is it to you for a fast sell? Is your home holding you back?

While agents are experts in the field of selling and closing, many are not design savvy. Agents usually know exactly what factors can help sell a home. It's just not always easy to get a home into selling condition in a timely manner without some sort of experienced assistance.

Professional home stagers are practiced in the art of preparing a home for resale. They work with the "flow" of a home, eliminate clutter, edit and arrange furniture, and even assist in enhancing curb-appeal. With the aid of a professional home stager, your house can make a notable first impression on potential homebuyers.

First Impressions-Does your home have it?

As the real estate industry often stresses, the "first impression" is the key factor in selling your home. A potential buyer has made up their mind 10 seconds after they step in the front door. They were already forming an opinion as they pulled into your driveway! That really doesn't leave too much room for fault does it?

"To achieve the greatest possible outcome," a home should always be presented at its best the first time around. So make your home stand out from the rest, and set the stage. You shouldn't worry about the stresses of getting your home ready for the market. Did you know in most cases home staging is LESS than your first price reduction?
