Real estate experts agree that staged homes sell faster and for more money than their non-staged counterparts.
Common Mistake:“I know what to do, I don’t need to hire a professional home stager.”
Reality: A home stager will give you an objective plan, prioritize, and find low cost solutions, so you don't waste time and money doing the wrong things.
Common Mistake:“I’m not going to do any landscaping to sell the house.”
Reality: Curb appeal is very important! Most people will decide if they like the house in the first 15 seconds while driving up to it. Some buyers won’t even get out of the car if they don’t like what they see!
Common Mistake:“House hunters and their Realtors will look past the clutter, dirt, and odors.”
Reality:Most people can’t do that, and they WON’T! You’ve lost that prospect, and their Realtor has a negative impression for any future clients, OUCH!
Common Mistake:“It’s just a few small repairs. I’m moving. the new people can fix things.”
Reality:If a lot of little things are in need of repair, prospective buyers will wonder what BIG things may need repair. It’s a red flag!
Common Mistake:“The new people can buy nice furniture and paint any color they like.”
Reality: Most people can’t visualize the potential that a house may have. Staging highlights the homes’ features and shows them the possibilities!
- High real estate prices and busy, two income families have made buyers more critical and less willing to “settle” for properties that are not in “move in” condition. In this competitive market it’s more important than ever for homes to be in great “show” condition.
- People buy on emotion! Staging shows potential buyers the homes’ possibilities and helps to convey the feeling of well–lived lives. Neutralizing and depersonalizing the space helps prospective buyers visualize themselves in the home and encourages them to “mentally move in”!
- Selling a home offers the greatest opportunity for the largest return on investment, in the shortest period of time, that most people ever have. A relatively small investment can mean big $$$. Don’t leave money on the table!
- Real estate experts agree that staged homes sell faster and for more money than their non–staged counterparts. It has been estimated by home stagers, including Deborah Gould, internationally known as the “Staging Diva” that staged homes sell for $10,000 – $70,000 more than homes that are not “staged”. Other real estate experts estimate a 6% – 7% higher sale price for staged homes. On a $500,000 home, that’s an additional $30,000 – $35,000!
- A Home Staging Consultation gives you a detailed plan to enhance the presentation of your home. A home stager will save you money by prioritizing things that will give you the most “bang for your buck” and offering the most cost effective solutions to challenges. You decide which recommendations to follow, whether to do all of it or some of it yourself or hire the stager to assist you.
- The staging process gives you a head start editing and packing. That makes the selling process less stressful and your move easier, and less expensive too!
- A home stager takes the pressure off of you. You’ll have a partner, and can feel confident that all of the issues will be addressed and that your home will be in the best possible “show” condition, considering the circumstances. (time until listed, willingness and $ available)
- Hiring a home stager lets you get on with your future plans and allows your Realtor use their valuable time to effectively market your home.
- The cost of hiring a home stager will be reflected in the asking and selling price of your home.
- Staging works whether it’s a buyer’s market ...when there are many homes on the market, the homes that stand out sell quickly for top dollar... or a seller’s market ...when there aren’t many homes on the market, there are many buyers competing for the best homes. This leads to multiple offers, which drives the price up!
- Staging can improve any property, in any price range, on any budget! I’ll find the solution that requires the minimum investment of time and money for the maximum impact.
- And if all this isn’t enough to convince you to hire a home stager, consider this:
your first price reduction would pay for a lot of home staging!
