Show-Smart Home Staging services include a Complimentary Professional Virtual Tour of your property widely broadcast on the web with your Realtor's contact information.   (Here's a sample of our Virtual Tours to give you some idea of how prospective home buyers will come across your home as it might appear on the web. 

There are more examples of recent Show-Smart staging projects further down the page for you to look at, but this sample is from a small 1964, 3-bedroom townhouse in Rockville that had sat on the market for a year empty.  It sold the first week after Show-Smart Staged it!

Remember...

      - Over 80% of home buyers start their search online.

      - The better a home shows online, the more perceived value it has.

      - The more perceived value, the more traffic it generates.

      - Increased traffic means more chances to secure a buyer. 

      - The result?  Professionally Staged, your property virtually sells itself.

DOES STAGING WORK? HOW?

Hom Staging works like this:  This living room becomes

THIS LIVING ROOM!

These images on the left are a sample of what buyers saw online on the MLS before Staging. Cover the right side and imagine the listing online. Now, cover the left side and see the difference. The benefits of Staging are clear...to buyers. The cost to stage this house was less than 1% of the list price (including the furniture and accessories). Selling real estate is serious business.  It requires serious planning and sometimes serious money to get the job done.  The first price reduction taken on this property before Staging was over 6% and did nothing to increase showings or sell the house. Stage your house...optimally before putting it on the market, but certainly before taking a price reduction.  Fact:  Over 80% of buyers look at pictures online first when deciding which properties to view.  How do yours look?

NOTE: Professional Home Staging is typically TAX DEDUCTIBLE. Ask your accountant.

Complimentary Professional Virtual Tours photographed and produced in-house are among Show-Smart Home Staging's most sought after services.   NOTE: Show-Smart also films and produces virtual tours for a fee on properties we haven't staged.

Click below for more samples of recent Show-Smart staging projects.  Find a home similar to your home to see how fantastic yours will look when it is professionally staged.  Remember, it's not so much the age of a property, or whether it is occupied or vacant, but how it shows that counts.

Can you even tell which were vacant or occupied from the virtual tours?  That's the point, to make them look fresh enough for prospective buyers to feel they want to make them their own.  Hint:  Only one of the four below was occupied.  For the answer, look below.

When homes look this good for a relatively small, usually tax-deductible expense and sell 50% faster and 6-10% higher than comparable unstaged homes, it is simply smarter to put your home on the market Professionally Staged, to Show-Smart!

HOW TO GET YOUR PROPERTY STAGED

 

THE  SHOW-SMART!  5-STEP HOME STAGING PROCESS

FOR VACANT PROPERTIES

 

1.	Professionally Staging a Vacant property begins with a working Consultation.   The Show-Smart designer will walk the property, conceptualize a design plan, take pictures and measurements, and note aspects of the property to feature.
2.	The Owner is presented with a Proposal/Agreement outlining the cost of Staging to include the cost of furniture and the accessory package for 30 days.
3.	Show-Smart determines and identifies the list of specific items to be used to Stage the property and establishes the Staging Date.  Payment is due before Staging commences.
4.	Staging begins and typically is done in one day.
5.	When the property sells, Stager will supervise pick-up and remove all of the staging material.  Destaging is included in the fee.

1.  Call today for a FREE telephone consultation to explain your staging needs.

2.  Schedule a two-hour working consultation to establish exactly how to make your home Show Smart.  This time can be used in one of two ways.  You may choose to have us visit your home and verbally identify changes that need to be made, such as furnishings to rearrange, remove or add so that you are confident in staging your home yourself.   Also, we are happy to provide you a room-by-room written report of our ideas for an additional sum.

3.  Or, you may choose to have us simply conceptualize a staging design plan and offer you a proposal for Show-Smart! Home Staging to complete the staging for you.

 

                                                                  ...Either way, you will be confident that your home will Show Smart!

 

 

 

 

WHAT PEOPLE HAVE SAID ABOUT SHOW-SMART! HOME STAGING

 

"The couple that came Sunday to our first open house (after staging) remarked, 'This place is so huge!  It looks like a model!'  They went and wrote a contract today!!  Thank you for staging our house.  It paid back so fast!  It was definitely worth it."  April H., Homeowner (1,500 SF single family home).

"Standing here empty for a year, I thought it was just the market.  But, since staging, I've had more traffic in 2 weeks than I had all year!  And they stay longer and ask good questions.  I don't think it'll be long now,"  Mary S., Realtor.

"What a difference Staging made in the condo.  It is so much warmer and more inviting now than before (vacant)." Irina T., Realtor.

"I did everything I could to renovate the house just enough...nicely, but not too much for the market.  But, it looked cold, and every tiny flaw showed.  Staging brought it up to par to get it sold."  Mr. H., Investor.

"Wow!  This is awesome.  Maybe we should raise the price now."   Harry L., Homeowner.

WHAT SHOW-SMART HOME STAGING WILL COST

Staging by Show-Smart is very cost effective when you weigh the value added by a potentially faster sale and higher sales price.  The real question should be how much will it cost you not to stage.  Carrying costs include bank loans, double mortgages, subcontractors, and cleaning crews not to mention headaches and stress while the unstaged property just sits unsold.  Statistics show that Professional Home Staging is an investment that saves you time and earns you money. 

Staged homes sell on average 50% faster and from 6-10% higher than unstaged ones.  A Staging phone consultation will cost you nothing and will generate an individual proposal for your property.  Since each home is different, a staging estimate can be quoted after a brief conversation.  With nothing to lose and a faster, potentially higher sale to gain, call SHOW-SMART HOME STAGING today at (757) 619-9789 to get answers about staging your property in the Washington DC area.

NOTE:  Check with your accountant.  Professional Home Staging costs are usually tax deductible as a selling expense.
