What is home staging?
Home staging is a marketing tool for home sellers and realtors. Having your property staged by a professional home stager will transform it into a neutral, inviting environment designed to appeal to the broadest possible audience of potential buyers. Home staging is broken down into 3 key areas:
- De-cluttering. De-cluttering involves removing and storing items such as knick knacks throughout the home and appliances on countertops, and editing the contents of closets and cupboards.
- De-personalizing. De-personalizing involves removing personal items such as family photographs and collectibles. People are curious by nature; having your travel photos on display will draw the attention of potential buyers away from the features of your home.
- Furniture arrangement and accessorizing. This involves re-arranging furniture and existing accessories to best showcase your property. Often furniture and accessories are removed to ensure the best possible showing during open houses and viewings.
Why stage my property?
There are proven benefits to staging your property:
- Staged properties spend 89% less time on the market than un-staged properties
- Staged properties can sell for 5-25% higher than the listing price
- 91% of staged properties sell in one month or less
Why should I pay someone to stage my property instead of doing it myself?
As a home owner, you are likely to be attached to your belongings and the way your home has been set up. Your home probably reflects your personal tastes and interests. But what is pleasing to your eyes may be an instant turn-off to a prospective buyer. A professional home stager brings an objective perspective that will help you present your property to its best advantage. Remember, the way you live in your home and the way you sell your home are two very different things.
