The answer to that question is quite simple. Yes, home staging does, in fact, sell homes. All statistics show that homes that are well prepared for the market sell at a higher rate and at a higher price than homes that are not show ready. Often sellers recieve a higher appraisal on staged homes and multiple offers up front.
Does it pay for a seller to go to the work and expense of staging their home prior to the listing? All real estate agents will agree that they show staged homes more often than others as staged homes are ready to go for a buyer.
Staging is the process of preparing the home to enter the marketplace ready for the buyer to purchase and move into immediately. No repairs, painting, carpet cleaning, window washing or landscaping worries. Potential buyers remember the home that is staged well as it will totally appeal to the buyers needs.
Staging a home for the real estate market takes special skill and basically is designing the home to appeal to wide array of buyers. One must think in these terms to stage their home on their own. Of course there are many professional home stagers that one could call on to get the job done for the seller. As a professional stager I do recommend hiring a professional , especially if you need your home to sell quickly.
Home Stages Designs caters to the seller in that we offer training ebooks in staging your own home. Once a seller learns the techniques that we designers use to prepare a home they can then step out on their own and begin the process.
Home Stages also offers a complete Home Staging Business Start Up & Training Kit and you can see us today for further details. www.Homestages.com
Happy Staging!
