You won't get a second chance to make a good first impression.

“Home staging used to be optional.
Today, it’s a necessity in selling a house.”
—Barbara Corcoran of Shark Tank

With on-line listings, you have about 3 seconds to capture their interest. 
If they don't like what they see, they'll "swipe left"
and never schedule a tour of the house.

This is why sellers should make every effort to make a good first impression.
Home staging helps your home stand out from the competition, driving more traffic to your home,
which helps to sell your home faster, and typically for more money.

So don’t schedule that Open House without professionally staging it first!

Good staging will draw a buyers in by creating a positive emotional reaction, so they will want to come for a "second look" - where they will then have a chance to fall in love with the house.

Home Staging transforms a "nice" home into a remarkably desirable product.
It's not just about cleaning and de-cluttering. 

In ANY real estate market, homes that are priced right and marketed to "WOW" buyers are the ones that move quickly and sell for top-dollar!

10 REASONS TO STAGE:


  • Look better than other homes on the market
  • Spend 90% less time on the market
  • Typically sell for more money
  • Look great in on-line photos
  • Receive more foot traffic
  • End up on a buyer's "must see" list
  • Home is viewed by buyers as "well maintained"
  • Home is "move-in” ready
  • Have less reasons for buyers to ask for concessions
  • Professionally staged listings "STAND-OUT" in prospective buyers' minds.
  • Eliminate the price-cut!

CAN YOU "DIY" IT?


The average homeowner cannot truly "stage" their own home. 
Successful home staging takes:
   1.  Expertise 
   2.  Energy 
   3.  Time
   4.  Objectivity
You can have expertise, time and energy but you will never be able to be objective about your own home.

“Home Staging is using limited funds, practical creativity, objectivity, market demographic knowledge, real estate knowledge and extraordinary expertise to professionally prepare a home to sell.  A professionally staged home by a certified home stager will become infinitely more attractive to potential buyers, sell quickly and for more money. 
Home staging turns a small investment in professionally preparing your home into a near future windfall from the greater home sale earnings it retrieves.”
