Home Staging
|
When you’re selling your home, you want it to look its absolute best for the potential buyers who walk through the door. That’s where home staging comes in.
Home staging is a method of decorating meant to highlight your home’s most impressive assets and help buyers imagine themselves moving in and living there. Only 10% of buyers can visualize a home’s potential. Home Staging highlights the space and great features, detracts from imperfections and defines the purpose of every room. Home staging can pay off big time for sellers. Not all sellers are receptive at first, but if the home doesn't sell because it's missing that "oomph," home staging always seems to turn it around. You can do large scale home staging or small scale, but the important thing is to engage some aspect of home staging. If you do, you're more likely to quickly sell for top dollar. |

Frequently Asked Questions

Home staging is the process of adding decor, rearranging furniture, and expertly dressing up your home to make it look stunning for listing photos and walkthroughs. Home staging is a marketing tactic that can make even the most dark, drab space feel bright, energetic, and homey.
The reason home staging is so important is that it can turn around a sale that otherwise wasn’t moving. It draws more buyers in from online listing photos and makes the home look like a space that Pottery Barn would feature in a catalog.
What does home staging entail?
If you are selling an empty home, in most cases you or your real estate agent will need to call in a professional home stager to bring in furniture and home decor to set up the space.
If you plan to live in your home during the selling process, most real estate agents recommend using your existing furniture and home decor to keep cost low.
