Home Staging
What is Home Staging? Home Staging is the art of preparing a home going on the market to highlight it's best features in a positive manner. The entire objective behind Home Staging is to make a house look as good as possible to as many potential home owners as possible, thus increasing it's chances for a quicker sale at the highest expected market value for the area.
You never get a second chance to make a good first impression.
When it comes to selling homes, first impressions are extremly important. A potential home buyer has already made up their mind in 15 seconds upon arriving at your doorstep.
When I style a home to sell, I take into account the following conditions:
- Who are the target buyers and what do they expect in this price range?
- What are the selling points of the property and are they easliy identified for potential buyers?
- How much staging is needed?
I will do my best to accommodate your budget and will work with what furnishings you already have to reduce the cost. We will find the most cost-effective approach to sell your home faster and for more money. Staging is always less than the cost of your first price reduction.
SEVEN REASONS YOU SHOULD PROFESSIONALL STAGE YOUR HOME...
1. YOU WILL MAKE MORE MONEY. U.S. Housing and Urban Development reports that a staged home will sell, on average, 17% higher than an-staged home.
2. MOST HOME SELLERS CANNOT VIEW THEIR HOUSE OBJECTIVELY. If you can't see objectively, you can't package effectively. Have a staging professional get your home into its most advantageous condition for showing.
3. YOU'LL HAVE LESS GUESSWORK AND "DO IT YOURSELF" WORK. A professional home stager can manage your projects from start to finish. Or they can give you a detailed report based on their extensive knowledge and training to help you "do it yourself".
4. Only 10% of home buyers can visualize the potential of a home. This is why staging a home is critical! You don't want the advantages of your home over looked smf left to the buyer's imagination.
5. THE LONGER YOUR HOME IS ON THE MARKET, THE LOWER THE PRICE WILL BE. According to a National Association of Realtors survey, homes that sold after four weeks on the market sold for 6% lrdd than the ones within the first four weeks. Don't be in the position where you have to lower your price. Have your house staged first!
6. LEAVING YOUR HOUSE IN "AS IS" CONDITIONS WILL HELP SELL THE COMPETITION. Right now the number of homes for sale on the market is at a record high. Competition is stiff and buyers have very high expectations. Successful agents know that the key to selling ccompeting is professional staging.
7.YOU CAN RELAX! You will have the satisfaction of knowing you have done absolutely everything possible to affect a quick sale of your most valuable commodity and for top dollar!
