                  Home Staging

                           What is It?

 It's All About Selling Your House!

Staging provides a key marketing tool in selling your home.  It is very important that your property is priced appropriately in order to sell before your competition.  

When staging a home for sale, less emphasis is spent on the clients likes and dislikes and how they use their rooms.  Rather, the emphasis is about highlighting the features of the house, the space and storage which appeals to the broadest audience of home buyers.  The payback is invaluable.  The cost of staging is well worth the investment.

Three major elements affect a sale - Condition, Location and Price.

Why Stage a home for sale?

.Reduce time on the market
.Stand out from the crowd!
.Bring more people in
.Get higher market price evaluation
.Attract best real estate agent
.Enhance the advertising appeal on the internet and on real estate pages
.Avoid potential price reduction
.Get the money you want
.Show you love your house

People today have very busy lives; they want to walk in and see themselves living there.
Buyers want a move-in-ready home. 

FIRST IMPRESSIONS are critical, first is curb appeal to attract the potential buyer in, then the foyer and inside to each room; emphasize the focal point and function!
It takes less than 60 seconds for someone to decide whether they like a home or not.

Why are property staging services important?

Because they work!  Staging your home maximizes your chances of selling fast and for the most money in your current market and location.

When is the best time to use the Home staging services?

The earlier the better!  Stage your home as soon as possible, even before you meet with a realtor. Because the real estate agent is your first "client,"  he/she will appraise the house and suggest the price based on several factors, one of them being the Visual Appeal. 

The most viewing traffic occurs within the first 2 - 3 weeks after listing, that is the best window of opportunity for selling your home, so don't miss out, call us to help you, even if it is just a consultation.

Selling your home yourself; Staging is important; you need to do everything you can to stand out from the crowd. 

Most owners and agents put the listings up on the Internet on MLS and that means PICTURES!  Busy consumers will shop first by Internet, it is crucial that your home shows at its best.  Once the client has chosen the top 10 houses that interest them, the next step is the drive by to view the property before contacting the realtor.  "Curb Appeal", it is everything.  Will your house interest the potential buyer at first glance? Will they want to see more?
