Common Misconception in Richmond VA-It cost a LOT to STAGE a home!

I'm hearing a lot of this background chatter. I am writing this blog in an attempt to educate homesellers and real estate agents in the Greater Richmond area on the simple truths about the process and cost involved with staging your home. Let me clarify-home staging is NOT a cost, but an investment into a quicker sale with more dollars for you at closing.

With this being said, let me say that home staging is VERY affordable and the MOST logical thing you can do-next to pricing your house correctly-when selling your home in today's competitive real estate market. Let me explain why I mention pricing the house correctly as another key factor. Every house that we've staged recently has received an offer within the first month. This does not mean that the seller was intuitive enough at the time to accept the offer, but I'll save this for another blog. The simple truth is, if money is tight and you need to sell, you cannot afford NOT to stage your house!

Our services start at only $95.00 for the 'short & sweet' consultation. During this two hour consultation, we will go through each area of your home and when we leave you will have a list of recommendations specific to your home that when completed will have your home ready to compete in the competitive real estate market.

You may wish to complete your 'to do' list on your own. Or perhaps your budget allows flexibility for additional assistance. Upon your request we will provide a quote to manage the entire project OR you may hire us to come back and help at an hourly rate of $50.00. We will assist with as much or little of your 'to do' list as your time constraints and budget allows.

We have relationships with a few dynamic real estate agents who provide the 'short & sweet' consultation as part of the listing agreement. Please contact Richmond Home Staging and Redesign and we will be happy to refer you to one of these talented agents.

Whether you are a homeseller or an agent trying to sell a home on behalf of your client, the relatively small investment into Staging your home will reap HUGE dividends in the increased selling price and speed of the sale. Statistics confirm 17% higher sales price in HALF the time. With numbers like these how can you NOT afford yourself the luxury of this service when selling a home?
