 Home Staging is More than Pictures and Pillows!

During my career as a Morris County, NJ Home Stager I repeatedly find there are so many misconceptions about home staging. We are not decorators focusing on your personal tastes and décor. Professional home staging focuses on highlighting your house’s architectural features and neutralizing the space so buyers can see themselves living in it.

Moreover, a good home stager will know your market demographics and tailor the décor to appeal to the broadest audience.  It’s NOT about your personal taste, but capturing the attention of the most buyers on MLS and in person.

Do NOT be offended by the changes we make. It’s not personal! Prior to selling, your home is your sanctuary, a reflection of you and your family. We don’t live in spotless homes with limited furniture and no personal items. But, that is how we SELL Them. Now that you’re selling you need to look at it like a commodity to be marketed for sale with the focus being on the home, not its décor.  More importantly it has to have MASS appeal!

A good home stager will know what art, accessories and paint colors are appropriate and the most popular by the general public. This Morris County stager researches Benjamin Moore, Sherwin Williams, Valspar and Behr’s hottest neutral colors because that’s what people want.

A good home stager will draw your eye to the windows, fireplace, french doors and compliment your crown and baseboard molding along with any other architectural features.  We take the guess work out of furniture placement, room purpose and maximize each room highlighting its square footage. Yes, we add art and accessories, but limited and only to compliment the room – not be the focus.

Only 10% of buyers have the ability to envision what your home could be. The other 90% will move on to your competition who did prepare their home for the market. The amount of money you invest to stage your home is a fraction of a price reduction.  

Change your thinking and instead of accepting a price reduction as part of the selling process, chose a new and innovative marketing strategy to help sell your home by calling this Morris County Professional Home Stager @ 201-602-2562!

I know which one I would buy of the two!  I have heard that the first price reduction far out costs the price of a staging.  Great post!

Lester - It sure does.

Nathan - It's really all about showing off the architectural details of a home, like vaulted ceilings, beautiful wood floors, crown molding, step ceilings and large rooms.

John - This has great information for my Franklin TN sellers.

Mary - I have been out showing properties for the last three weekends. Last night, while showing yet another house, I realized none of the homes I have visited in the last three weeks had one family photo out. When you think about it that is pretty surprising. Kudos to the seller's agents.

Excellent reblog, Tammie. I love the transformation. These photos are really great. It shows that lighting, organization and few paintings will help set a better mood and improve the appearance of the room. Thanks for sharing.
