| Home staging is the act of preparing a private
residence prior to listing it for sale in the real estate marketplace. The goal of
staging is to sell a home quickly, and for the most money possible by attracting the
highest number of potential buyers. Staging focuses on improving a property to make it
appeal to buyers by transforming it into a welcoming, appealing, and attractive product
for sale. Staging often raises the value of a property by
way of reducing the home's flaws, depersonalizing, de-cluttering, cleaning, re-arranging,
and landscaping. For vacant homes, rental furniture is used to create a living space the
buyer could "see" themselves in. Properly executed staging leads the eye to
attractive features while minimizing flaws. |

1. Turbo Boost Sales Time
Experts all agree and studies show staged homes sell quicker than non-staged homes.
As much as 30-50% faster in most areas. This is more important then most people
realize, because the longer a home is on the market….the greater chance for a price
reduction. 2. Gone In 60 Seconds…
Psychology experts have proven that people react based on emotion and then seek logic to
back up the feeling. From a real estate perspective, a buyer will make an initial
reaction in less than a minute whether they like your home or not. Then, after the
potential buyer's initial decision has been made, they will either confirm that decision
or rescind it in the next 6 to 20 minutes as they tour the property. This is why
proper staging is critical for any listing.
3. Show Me The Money!
The better a home shows - the higher it will sell for. Which means more money in your
pocket. Non-staged homes are more likely to require price reductions in order to sell as
opposed to staged homes, which are more likely to enjoy a number of offers. |
