Staging focuses on improving a property to make it welcoming, appealing, and attractive to the largest generic audience of potential home buyers. Staging often raises the value of a property by way of repairs, furniture and accessory placement, renovations, and landscaping. For vacant homes, rental furniture can accent the property to highlight the architectural features of the home. 

As a courtesy to my clients, I provide a FREE home staging consultation with every listing. 

Reasons you should Professionally Stage your home!

• You will sell your home for more money. U.S. Housing and Urban Development reports that a staged Home will sell , on average, 17% higher than an un-staged home.
• You will sell your house faster.
• The sellers with staged homes ended up with 6.3% more than their asking price, on average, while sellers with non-staged homes sold for 1.6% more than the asking price.
• In a Home Gain Survey conducted in 2007 comprised of over 2000 realtors, it was discovered that sellers spent an average of $500 on staging services for their home and recovered over 343% of the cost in the sale of their home.
• It’s difficult to view your own home objectively
• Having a staging professional get your home into its best condition for showing is helpful since you may not be able to view your own home objectively. A professional stager can see your home through the buyer’s eyes.
• The longer your home is on the market, the less it will sell for.
• According to a National Association of Realtors survey, homes that sold after four weeks on the market sold for 6% less than homes that sold within the first four weeks.
• Money that you put into your home staging project is tax deductible.
• You should take advantage of tax-free capital gains and get every possible dollar! (Check with your tax advisor)
• If you don’t stage your home, you help sell the competition.
• Competition for home buying is very stiff. Buyers have high expectations. Professional agents with a high success rate know that the best way to sell before the competition is to stage your home.
• You’ll be confident you did everything possible to sell your home.
