Does staging work?
Over 81% of buyers find it
easier to visualize a property as their future home when it's staged. Buyers are also willing to overlook property faults when a home is staged. Home staging will emphasize positive focal points to draw the buyer in. Also, an objective viewpoint is essential in addressing solutions for the
not-so-appealing aspects
of a home.
​
Why can't I stage it myself?
Homeowners have difficulty being objective about their home, their belongings and their surroundings. Homeowners are not trained to see things as buyers view them. An objective, professionally-trained stager is able to quickly move the process along the right track before listing the home.
Can I wait to stage
until after I see buyer response?
The fact is we live in a tech-savvy world. Therefore, a majority of buyers are looking at real estate photos online before even making a decision to tour a home. Presenting a good first impression with your online photos is critical. A professional stager can help get
your home photo-ready.
Is the cost worth it?
A recent RESA study of 1,081
homes revealed un-staged homes spent an average of 184 days on the market. After staging these homes sold on average in 41 days. Homes staged prior to going on the market sold on average in 23 days. Calculate your monthly expenses for extra months
on the market and know that
staging is worth the cost!
How long will it take?
This depends on the service chosen and the condition of the home. The walk and talk consultation generally takes around two hours. If scheduling a staging day, timing depends on how many rooms are selected to stage. I will recommend top priorities that will deliver the most bang for your buck.
