"Home Staging Tips ~ What's your Opinion?"
As a Home Stager many times while previewing a clients home I am asked my opinion about their home. Home Stagers are trained to see a home with buyers eyes and are able to see things that possibly a homeowner who lives in the home might not see.
One of the questions I was recently asked was, do I need to remodel my bathrooms? The home was vacant and was built in the 50's and had a beautifully remodeled Kitchen. The bathrooms were in fantastic shape.. it was hard to believe their age. They were very well cared for.
In my opinion... there was no need to invest in remodeling the bathrooms. They could be Staged to look great and the investment in staging this home would be much less then the investment in remodeling. Here are some before and after photos of the two bathrooms we Staged.
What's your opinion?
Did this homeowner need to remodel the bathrooms.... or did staging make a difference?

Consult with a Home Stager in your area before you put your home on the market!
In my opinion... it could save you money!
Note: I just wanted to add that ultimately the decision to remodel or not to remodel rests solely between the Homeowner and their Realtor. The Homeowner - whether they are interested in or could afford to invest in a remodel and the Realtor - if they felt the area would support it or would demand it.
In this case both felt it was not necessary. I was asked for my opinion only to see if I felt that staging these bathrooms could really make enough of a difference to potential buyers that they would find them appealing. In my opinion I felt that staging would definitely make these bathrooms look and feel more appealing.
Always consult with your Realtor first for sound and knowledgeable advice before you make any major changes to your home before you sell it!
