Home Staging Gets a Better Price for your home

In today’s highly competitive housing market, home staging gets a better price for your home or condominium. As part of my services, I offer a complimentary home staging consultation to my clients. It focuses on improving your property and transforming it into an attractive product for sale. Even beautifully decorated homes need to be turned into a merchandised product that enhances the home’s best features. The goal of staging is to sell quickly for a high return by appealing to a greater number of prospective buyers which in turn will lead to more offers or even multiple offers.

You only have one chance to impress potential buyers. Buyers’ first impressions are formed as soon as they step inside your home. Staging highlights the full potential of your property by incorporating design techniques to create a lasting first impression. You want to give homeowners a reason to buy your home. Compare the first picture to the second picture, the staged home. Doesn’t the staged home look warmer and more attractive.

Staging prepares your home to attract the widest market, while making it appealing to the greatest number of prospective buyers. Staging creates excitement and interest from the beginning, and sets your home apart from the competition. Properties that have been staged will have a distinct marketing advantage over non-staged homes. Staging your home can maximize the selling price and minimize the number of days on the market. Staged homes provide beautiful photos. Consumers are savvy and most of them start their search on the Internet. Photos give them their first impression.

Selling your biggest investment can be a very rewarding experience. When your home is properly prepared, you will have a big advantage over your competition, in terms of time on the market (less disruption to family life) and selling price (money in your pocket).

In today’s market, most buyers are looking for bright, spotlessly clean, sunny homes that they can move right into. This is the model upon which the staging “to do” list has been designed. Just do your best to follow the plan set out by your stager and you will be leaps and bounds ahead of the pack. A home in good repair will win the bid over the competition every time!

While a stager’s list of recommendations may initially seem daunting; when broken down, it will surprise you how quickly the “to do” list can be completed. Homeowners who take the suggestions to heart and dig in, are the ones who reap the greatest rewards.
