Top Ten Reasons You Should Professionally Stage Your Home... | |
| 1. You Will Make More Money U.S. Housing and Urban Development reports that a staged home will sell, on average, 17% higher than an un-staged home.
|
| 2. Your House Will Sell Faster which = Less Headaches and Hassle The New York Village Voice reported that the average number of days an un-staged home is on the market is 30.9 versus 13.9 for a staged home.
|
| 3. The Cost of Staging Doesn't Cost A Dime In a 2003 Home Gain Survey of over 2000 Realtors, it was discovered that sellers who spent up to $1000 staging their home recovered almost 200% of the cost in the sale of their home.
|
| 4. Most Home Sellers Cannot View Their House Objectively If you can't see objectively, you can't "package" effectively. Have a staging professional get your home into its most advantageous condition for showing.
|
| 5. Less Guesswork and "Do It Yourself" A professional home stager can manage your projects from start to finish. Or, they can give you a detailed enough report based on their extensive knowledge and training to have you "do it yourself".
|
| 6. Only 10% of Homebuyers Can Visualize the Potential of a Home That's why staging a home is critical! You don't want the advantages of your home overlooked and left up to the buyer's imagination.
|
| 7. The Longer Your Home is on the Market, the Lower the Price Will Be, so STAGE FIRST! According to a National Association of Realtors survey, homes that sold after 4 weeks on the market sold for 6% less then ones within the first 4 weeks! Don't be in a position where you have to lower your price...have your house staged.
|
| 8. The Money You Make May Be TAX FREE! Take advantage of a possible tax-free capital gain by getting every dollar possible!
|
| 9. Leaving Your House in "AS IS" Condition Will Help Sell the Competition Right now the number of homes for sale on the market is at a record high. Competition is stiff and buyers have very high expectations. Successful agents know that the key to selling competing is professional staging.
