So what is Home Staging?

So what is Home Staging? Home Staging goes beyond cleaning and decorating. Staging is what you do after you have cleaned, painted, made minor repairs and decluttered. It’s about creating a mood. Staging can make your house look bigger, brighter, warmer, more loving and most importantly, staging can make homebuyers want to buy your home.

Homes that sell fast in any given market share 3 similar facts;

1. They are priced competitively with respect to similar listings.
2. They show like model homes.
3. Their agents use powerful and strategic marketing combined with great photos.

In many cases staging your home involves subtle changes. Some cases require the dramatic renovation/repaint of a room but for the majority of circumstances, it is simple placement of furniture, good lighting, soft music playing and general decluttering of walls and counter space. If your home is vacant then it becomes even more important to have it staged. A vacant home is empty and cold while a staged vacant home is much warmer. Your Home Staging professional will have ‘props’ that highlight and focus attention on your home’s greatest features.

If you are going to stage it, do it the right way. Remember that you are investing your hard-earned cash. Using an Accredited Staging Professional is a must. Your home sells faster, it will get a better price and you can move into your next home quicker, taking advantage of this market and low interest rates.
