Staging FAQ's...

Professional Home Staging is the art of preparing one's home for sale in the real estate marketplace. It is usually done by a certified professional who specializes in staging the home for ultimate appeal to attract more buyers, so that the home can be sold more quickly.  A professional stager has the resources and can objectively view the home as a product while highlighting its assets and downplaying any flaws. The goal of a Stager is to make one's home appealing to the highest number of potential buyers; allowing for a swifter sale and for more money. While many successful Realtors do not have the time or trade resources to properly stage a home, they agree that a staged home has always been a fruitful decision with positive outcome. 

For as little as a few hundred dollars you can have a detailed list of what you can do to maximize the value of your home!  Please go  to our 'Services' page for more details. 

 Home sellers are usually incapable of successfully staging their own home. Why? Because most home owners cannot view their home and belongings objectively. You've gotten used to the way it looks and, in fact, it is difficult, emotionally, to change it. If you can’t view something objectively then you are unable to market and package it effectively. You may even have gotten accustomed to overlooking some of the home's flaws - not realizing the need to address them. Most home sellers don't "stage" homes everyday for a living. That’s what HSR Certified professionals are for and that is where the greatest returns come in.

Only a mere 10% of home buyers can actually visualize the potential of a home. In our Consultation 'Walk and Talk' (See our Services page), we will identify those 'price eroding'  factors of your home, so that you can do the simple fixes that maximize returns. 

This is also why having a vacant home professionally staged is so important. Buyers cannot visualize size and scale when a room/home is empty. Furniture helps to give them a frame of reference. (Please see our Reasons to Stage a Vacant Home which can be found at the bottom of our 'Services' page.)
