5 REASONS TO STAGE YOUR HOME

In today's market, unless you present your home as the best product,
you've sold the competition.



BEFORE: The L-shaped sofa made the recessed wall useless. AFTER: Removing the chaise section made room for extra seating and a cozy reading corner.

As a resident of south Florida, I take great pride in providing my neighbors with exceptional customer service. I'll help you with space planning and selection of furniture, upholstery, and accessories which I will bring to your home or office.

Home Staging is a critical marketing technique in home sales. It's essential to consider the effect the appearance a home has on serious purchasers. The aim of home staging is to create a neutral setting where buyers feel at home and can visualize themselves and their family living there.

AFTER: New Window Treatments
And A Repurposed, Lightly Scaled Chair
Update The Living Room
BEFORE: Outdated Drapes And Swags
Block The Lake View






 
1.      Home Staging will make it easier for you to market and sell your home because photos posted to the real estate web sites following staging will be 100% more appealing, and with over 90% of buyers searching the internet prior to calling a Realtor, you have a distinct advantage. 

2.      Once visiting a property, home buyers are more likely to make an offer on a home that shows well.
3.      A Home Stager is an independent third party who addresses issues head on and tells you things your Realtor might not want to say.

4.      Home staging costs are generally less for homes in lower price ranges, and rise proportionately due to the size of a home and the number of rooms.  Costs are usually recovered by receiving higher bids and a higher contract price.

5.      Staged homes spend less time on the market than homes that aren’t staged. As a result money is saved on utilities, mortgage payments, insurance, and taxes.

DON’T WAIT to stage your home while trying to list it “as is” for a couple of weeks. If you do, you lose valuable time. Your home grows “stale” and is passed up by serious buyers who search on line by price range and know every new home that’s listed in their range. You’ll have to drop your price a full price range so it shows up in a different search price range as “new” in order to get traffic from buyers.
