Staging®  To Sell

  Staging a home is the process of making your property its most appealing to the buying public. You live in your HOME, but you are selling your HOUSE. A staged property is clean, uncluttered, depersonalized, and tastefully decorated. Think of room settings at a fine furniture store, or some model homes you fell in love with. We can stage vacant properties but we take special pride in making over your furnished home in one day.

  Staging is the very best proven way to get TOP DOLLAR for your home as you prepare it for sale. Homes that are Staged using Staging techniques sell FASTER and for MORE MONEY! This is because Staging sets the scene throughout the house to create immediate buyer interest in your property. This will then lead to your home selling for the highest possible price in today's market. Remember, "The way you live in your home, and the way you market and sell your house are two different things."

How Does Staging Benefit Home Sellers?

1. Faster sales time

 Staged homes sell much more rapidly than non-staged homes do. Marketing experts indicate that staged homes sell 30 to 50% faster in most areas.  This is important, because the longer a home is on the market, the more likely there will be a sales reduction.  Buyers think that if a home has been on the market for some time, that there must be something wrong with it or that the seller will be anxious to sell and will take much less than the asking price.

2. Positive impression

  First impressions are positive on staged homes, rather then negative.
 
3. Less than a minute

  Research has shown that buyers initially make up their mind in less than a minute on whether they want a home or not.  Therefore, curb appeal is key.  After a buyer's initial decision in the first minute, they will either confirm that decision or rescinded it in the next 6 to 20 minutes as they view your home.

4. Ready to move in

  Staged homes appear to be in  Ready to move-in" condition.  Buyers overwhelmingly prefer homes where they can just move-in and start enjoying life in their new home.  They will pay a premium for this.

5. No imagination needed

  When only 5% of the population can truly visualize how beautiful a home can be or see past the clutter, grime and so-so appearance; then staging becomes paramount for a fast sale at a great price.

6. Competitive advantage

  Staged homes have a competitive advantage over other homes that are not staged.

7. Well maintained

  Staged homes give off the appearance of being well-maintained and cared for.  This is the underlying psychological message that is sent to potential buyers.

8. Appraisers

  Appraisers see the home in a more positive light and are more likely to appraise the home higher than a similar non-staged home.

9. Shown more

  Properly staged homes are showing much more often by realtors.  For they, enjoy showing a property that is attractive and excites buyers.  Well staged homes are always at the top of the list when it comes to which homes an agent will show.

10. Extra showings

  Homes which do not meet a buyers exact criteria, but which are well staged, often get shown anyway, because the agent feels that the beautifully staged home, may be an exception to the buyers criteria.

11. More advertising

  Brokerage firms enjoy advertising beautifully staged homes, for they draw more business to their firm.  You, as the seller, will benefit from their extra promotional materials and marketing.

12. Higher sales price

  The better home shows, the more that it will sell for.  This is more dollars in your pocket. Non-staged homes are more likely to require price reductions in order to sell , versus staged homes, which are more likely to have a number of offers and possibly a bidding war or to sell over the asking price.
