FAQ

What is Home Staging?

Home Staging is marketing; it’s not decorating.   It is the art of utilizing furnishings and accent décor to create an emotional connection to potential buyers, whereby they can visualize themselves living in the home.  Home Staging adds perceived value by providing a model home appearance and highlighting the best features of a home.  It provides a warm welcome to buyers with positive energy flow and functionality with each space clearly defined.  Home Staging portrays a comfortable and enjoyable lifestyle for any prospective buyer.

Why Stage a Home?

85% of staged homes sell for ABOVE list price.  The goal of selling your home is to sell it fast and for the highest price right?  Remember:

  • Home Staging is much less expensive and more effective than your first price reduction.
  • The cost of Home Staging is an investment that protects the value of your home in the market
How important is a Buyers first impression?

A buyer’s first impression is really important!  Professionally staged homes result in better photos online.  And a new listing typically gets 3x more views in its first week on the market than at any time after that – so first impressions really matter!

  • 95% of buyers are online first looking at photos of your home
  • The average buyer will spend less than 6 minutes looking at pictures of your home
  • It takes less than 15 seconds for buyers to form an opinion of your home
What are the benefits of staging in a Buyers market vs. a Sellers market?

A sellers market is where there is a low inventory of comparable homes on the market.  A staged home will look and show better and attract more buyers, likely leading to multiple offers and selling above list price!

A buyer’s market is where there is a high inventory of comparable homes on the market.  A staged home will stand out among the many homes competing for buyer’s attention, leading buyers to your home!
