Does Home Staging Work? More Proof....

The home seller has made the decision to list their property and move on. Lots of things to think about. What could be the most important decision is whether to contact a Home Staging Professional.

The seller thinks:

The Realtor will help me with what to do to prepare the house.

I've seen the programs on HGTV...I can do this myself and save some money.

Our home looks fine. It's good enough for us, so it will look fine to a buyer.

Let's see if the place sells the way it is. Then if it doesn't, I might resort to Home Staging.

The Reality:

The Realtor will, no doubt, give advise on clearing counters and removing clutter.

Recognizing that a room looks wonderful and welcoming, and being able to create that effect are two different things. This takes professional training, marketing insight, and a creative sense of design principles.

A home that's lived in should be very personal and reflective of the family residing there. When a property goes on the market for sale, you'll want to remove taste specific elements. These will limit your market. You want the home to appeal to the broadest market possible and not be taste specific.

This is your most valuable commodity. Shouldn't you do everything possible to make it shine at it's best. Enlisting a Home Staging Professional will allow your home to enter the marketplace at its best....showing off all its finest features, and downplaying any flaws. The cost of Home Staging will always be less than your first price reduction, so why wait?

A 2009 Study conducted by the Real Estate Staging Association shows vacant homes that had been professionally staged, spent 78% less time on the market. This same study also shows that occupied homes that had been professionally staged, spent 78% less time on the market.

This study showed homes that were staged SOLD on average in 40.5 days.

Buyers prefer to look at homes that have been professionally staged. Home Staging shows the home's true potential. Buyers know needed repairs have been completed at the recommendation of the Home Stager. They know the home is move-in ready.

Home Staging moves you to SOLD!!
