Home staging is the one of the best proven methods of reducing the DOM (days on market).    All too often I go into a property and the property is not "showcase" ready. There are personal use items spread out on the bathroom vanities, toys and lawn items carelessly left throughout the yard, overflowing closets, too much furniture, collectibles everywhere and laundry rooms full.  This is not putting your property's best foot forward.  You have about 6 seconds to make a good first impression and the first impression is the lasting impression.  As the potentential home purchaser views your property, where do you suppose they are looking?  They can't help it, they are looking and thinking about your stuff and when they get home and begin talking about the properties they have seen that day, they will attach a descriptive phrase to remember your property.  What do you want that phrase to be?  Do you want them to say "you know the one with all the toys in the yard" or do you want them to say "you know the one with the great backyard?".  You live in your house one way, we all do, we market our property another way.  Home staging services whether they be in the form of a consultation or actual staging will help you to objectively prepare for a competitive housing market.  A professional home stager will help you go from dweller to seller through organization, furniture  and accessory placement and in some cases recommend minor repairs or updating.  They may suggest painting to "freshen" up the presentation of the property. At STAGERIGHT HOME STAGING ( www.stagerightstaging.com )our goals are clear:  keeping the cost as low as possible, reducing the days on market and most importantly A SALE.  STAGERIGHT HOME STAGING looks forward to collaborating with you and your Real Estate Agent regarding preparing your property for sale.  Remember, home staging typically will cost you less than your first price reduction. What do you have to lose?
