The Importance of Home Staging

Home staging is becoming an important process in selling a home. Most homeowners admit that they haven't been diligent in maintaining their homes so they call a home inspector. Home staging will fix problems before prospective buyers find your house so you have more chance to sell it quickly.

Home Staging Attracts More Buyers

When you stage a home to sell, your goal is to create an appeal to the largest number of prospective buyers. Homes sell quickly when they are priced correctly, well maintained and staged to show their best features.

Buyers want a home that is move in ready, so you might want to add an extra week or 2 to your schedule to paint every room in the house. Home staging is not about decorating skills however it is about performing a make over on your home to create a picture perfect house so it will have the greatest appeal to the prospective buyers.

Home stagers work with you to:

• De - clutter to make your home more spacious.

• Remove personal items so your home feels move in ready to prospective buyers.

• Reorganize furniture to showcase each room's best quality and provide a more comfortable home.

• Suggest painting where needed, to change bold colors to avoid rejection from buyers.

• Recommend changes to window treatments and/or lighting to make your home inviting.

• Accessorize your home to make it look picture perfect for a magazine!

Home Staging is Affordable

Home stagers know that the solution is temporary so they make home staging affordable. However they will still do their best to use what you already own and often, as a result, homeowners fall in love with their homes all over again.

Typical home staging costs will show you why you can afford to stage your home.

• Most home stagers have packages to fit your budget. If you are on a tight budget, you can get a curbside consultation or a 2 to 3 hour visit where the home stager walks through your home and makes recommendations for you to implement.

• If you don't like to shop, many home stagers will do the shopping for you and there are home accessories for rent so you won't spend too much.

• When you don't have time to supervise then ask your home stager to manage the project for you from buying the paint and hiring painters to handling furniture storage and rearranging your best pieces for flow.

Home Staging Makes You Money

When you have your home staged, it will sell faster so you won't have to lower your price after 90 days. A beautiful, picture perfect home appeals more to prospective buyers and this means they'll make an offer closer to your listing price.

For those living in their homes, focus your investment on things you can take with you as you are about to sell your home - a new, smaller couch that is perfect for the condo you plan to buy next, a new comforter for the master bedroom in the color you want for your new home.
