REAL ESTATE STAGING is the art and science of preparing a home for re-sale.
Real Estate Mogul, Barbara Corcoran says, “Home staging is no longer optional in this real estate market. It’s what will make the difference in whether your home sells or not.” Barbara goes on to say that “home staging can easily add at least 5% to 7% to the selling price of a home!”
As a certified real estate staging professional with a marketing background and home decorating experience, I help homeowners and real estate brokers get top dollar for their homes/listings, and help them get it fast!
The truth is, homeowners see their home through rose colored glasses, but home buyers look at houses through magnifying glasses! Homeowners want to sell their home for their asking price, but every home buyer’s goal is to have their reduced offer accepted. When potential buyers tour a home, they make a mental list of every “negative” thing they see. As the list grows, their offer shrinks. Staging ensures that their list is short, and that their offer is swift and close to the homeowners’ asking price.
The National Association of Realtors reports that non-staged homes stay on the market twice as long as staged homes. Staging your home for sale is an investment in equity, not an added cost.
When you have your home staged BEFORE it is photographed for the MLS, and BEFORE it goes on the market, you capture the online home shoppers, and make the minimum investment with maximum impact. When your home looks its best from the start, you take advantage of the home buyers that will tour during the first days & weeks your house is for sale.
Staging makes buyers want to move in, not move on. It creates a strong first impression, something you don’t get a second chance to make.
Remember, the investment in a complete home staging is always less than the first price reduction!
