BEFORE STAGING AFTER STAGING
These images on the left are a sample of what buyers saw online on the MLS before Staging. Cover the right side and imagine the listing online. Now, cover the left side and see the difference. The benefits of Staging are clear...to buyers. The cost to stage this house was less than 1% of the list price (including the furniture and accessories). Selling real estate is serious business. It requires serious planning and sometimes serious money to get the job done. The first price reduction taken on this property before Staging was over 6% and did nothing to increase showings or sell the house. Stage your house...optimally before putting it on the market, but certainly before taking a price reduction. Fact: Over 80% of buyers look at pictures online first when deciding which properties to view. How do yours look?
Here are links to some of the Professional Virtual Tours photographed and produced by Show-Smart of recent Show-Smart Staging projects. NOTE: We provide tours as a complimentary service to our staging clients, but we will produce virtual tours for a fee on properties we haven't staged.
Properties should all look this good at any age.

THE SHOW-SMART! 5-STEP HOME STAGING PROCESS
FOR VACANT PROPERTIES
1.
Professionally Staging a Vacant property begins with a working Consultation. The Show-Smart designer will walk the property, conceptualize a design plan, take pictures and measurements, and note aspects of the property to feature.
2.
The Owner is presented with a Proposal/Agreement outlining the cost of Staging to include the cost of furniture and the accessory package for 30 days.
3.
Show-Smart determines and identifies the list of specific items to be used to Stage the property and establishes the Staging Date. Payment is due before Staging commences.
4.
Staging begins and typically is done in one day.
5.
When the property sells, Stager will supervise pick-up and remove all of the staging material. Destaging is included in the fee.
WHAT PEOPLE HAVE SAID ABOUT SHOW-SMART! HOME STAGING
"The couple that came Sunday to our first open house (after staging) remarked, 'This place is so huge! It looks like a model!' They went and wrote a contract today!! Thank you for staging our house. It paid back so fast! It was definitely worth it." April H., Homeowner (1,500 SF single family home).
"Standing here empty for a year, I thought it was just the market. But, since staging, I've had more traffic in 2 weeks than I had all year! And they stay longer and ask good questions. I don't think it'll be long now," Mary S., Realtor.
"What a difference Staging made in the condo. It is so much warmer and more inviting now than before (vacant)." Irina T., Realtor.
"I did everything I could to renovate the house just enough...nicely, but not too much for the market. But, it looked cold, and every tiny flaw showed. Staging brought it up to par to get it sold." Mr. H., Investor.
"Wow! This is awesome. Maybe we should raise the price now." Harry L., Homeowner.
WHAT SHOW-SMART HOME STAGING WILL COST
Staging by Show-Smart is very cost effective when you weigh the value added by a potentially faster sale and higher sales price. The real question should be how much will it cost you not to stage. Carrying costs include bank loans, double mortgages, subcontractors, and cleaning crews not to mention headaches and stress while the unstaged property just sits unsold. Statistics show that Professional Home Staging is an investment that saves you time and earns you money.
Staged homes sell on average 50% faster and from 6-10% higher than unstaged ones. A Staging phone consultation will cost you nothing and will generate an individual proposal for your property. Since each home is different, a staging estimate can be quoted after a brief conversation. With nothing to lose and a faster, potentially higher sale to gain, call SHOW-SMART HOME STAGING today at (757) 619-9789 to get answers about staging your property in the Washington DC area.
NOTE: Check with your accountant. Professional Home Staging costs are usually tax deductible as a selling expense.
