Home Staging
Ever wonder what makes one home sit on the market for months while another gets sold in days? In this “changing market”, buyers can afford to be choosy, and over 82% of them are shopping on line. They usually only want to see the top five properties. How can you be sure that your home is on that list? Hire a realtor that will stage your home, hire a home stager, or hire a décor pro who will scrutinize your home from a buyer’s perspective and bring out its strengths so it can make a great impression. It’s a beauty contest out there right now. Your home must “look pretty” and “smell wonderful.” Everything should be dressed to sell- inside and out with landscaping, paint, furnishings, and art that will appeal to the largest number of potential buyers.

The Top Ten Reasons
You Should Professionally Stage Your Home
1. You will make more money.
U.S. Housing and Urban Development reports that a staged house sells, on aver, 17% higher than a non-staged house.
2. Your House Will Sell Faster = Less Headaches and Hassle
The New York Village Voice reported that the average number of days on the market for a staged house was 13.9 versus 30.0 days for an unstaged house.
3. The Cost of Staging, Doesn’t really Cost a Dime
In a 2003 Home Gain Survey of over 2000 Realtors, it was discovered that sellers who spent up to $1000 staging their home recovered almost 200% of the cost in the sale of their home.
4. Most Home Sellers Cannot View Their House Objectively
If you can’t see objectively, you can’t “package” effectively. Have a staging professional give you a detailed, step by step, “Action Plan” for less than $500 so you can do the work yourself.
5. Less Guesswork and “Do It Yourself”………
A professional home stager can manage your projects from start to finish or give you a detailed enough report based on their extensive knowledge and training to have you “do it yourself.”
6. Only 10% of homebuyers can visualize the potential of a home
That’s why staging a vacant home is critical. You don’t want the benefits of your beautiful home left up to the buyer’s imagination.
7. Studies show that the longer your home stays on the market, the lower your selling price will be…
Don’t settle for less and lower your price… have your house staged.
8. The Money You Make is TAX FREE
Take advantage of your tax-free capital gain by getting every dollar you can in the selling price of your home.
9. Leaving your House in “AS IS” Condition Will Help Sell the Competition
Right now the number of homes for sale on the market is at a a record high, competition is getting stiff and buyers have an expectation when they walk through your door.
