Staging Makes a Difference
Have you ever walked into a staged home? Buyers love staged homes because they can envision themselves living there. A well staged and priced home can make all the difference and set the seller up for a successful and quick sale.
Benefits:
- Most buyers view homes online first before viewing in person - online photos of a nicely staged home will attract buyers to view the home in person
- Staging shows buyers how to best utilize the space and layout of a home
- Staging is a great excuse to clean, declutter and depersonalize
- You may recuperate the cost of staging with an increased sales price
Working with home buyers and sellers I have observed the benefits of staging first hand. Buyers walk into a staged home and immediately feel comfortable and notice the cleanliness of the home. Staging companies maximize each space in a home to give the perception of more room and everyone loves more room!
Factors to consider:
- Will you be occupying the home when selling or will the home be vacant? If you are living in a staged home when selling you will need to store or remove some items in your home
- Is the price of staging worth it? Staging can be costly, but partial staging may be an option too
- Do you need to sell ASAP or do you have time to make arrangements with a staging company?
Each home sale is different and staging is not for every home, but when the home is clean, staged and aggressively priced the visibility and number of buyers viewing the home will increase.
If you would like to learn more about staging or connect with great staging companies I would be glad to share more information.
