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 the future homeowner. Because we are a large staging company our staging projects include more products which make our projects look more interesting but that doesn't mean it cost more money.
If you are considering to start using staging make sure you shop for the best staging company -not all are created equal. In staging it's all about the products that will be used in your project. Make sure you are asking to see some of their projects in person so you can see first hand how creative they are and the quality of the products they use.
Staging is here to stay so if you aren't using a staging company...find one. Staging will help to sell the home faster and often more money. Stage it and get the sold sign posted!
