Home Staging

What does home staging mean?

Two things sell residential real estate:  PRICE AND PRESENTATION.  When you get ready to place your home on the market for sale it becomes a product.  Similar to a product on the shelf at your local store, the product has features and benefits as well as pluses/minuses, and competition.  To compete with the competition in the marketplace you must be priced right and look better than the other products.  Your home is no different, it is one of many homes for sale and you must present it, to the buyers, in the best possible light. 

WHY HOME STAGING?

Home staging is the hottest trend in real estate today.  Advocates say that home sales for staged homes are often faster and at higher prices than similar un-staged homes.

WHAT IS HOME STAGING & HOW CAN IT HELP YOU SELL YOUR HOME?

Staging is the process of cleaning, organizing, rearranging, updating, and preparing your home for sale.

At its most basic, it may be as simple as performing some needed home repairs, pre-packing, and removing unnedded items, accessories-such as personal effects, and bringing in some fresh flowers and plants.  In other cases it might be as much as repainting, re-carpeting, rearranging furniture, or replacing outdated light fixtures or window treatments.

But no matter how easy or complicated, the end result has only one goal:  to show potential buyers the very best side of your home.  Then they are better able to visually place their own personal belongings into your home.
