Works?

Is it the same as decorating?

Can’t home buyers just picture their stuff in the house?
According to a recent study, over 80% of the population cannot visualize a home’s potential unless it’s staring them in the face.
A lot of people have a hard time seeing beyond your favorite wallpaper, coffee mug collection, or the kids’ toys which never actually make it is the basket. Will their kids’ toys end up strewn about? Probably. But, staging gives buyers a visual blueprint of what life could be in the home.
Why should I have my home staged for sale?
At the end of the day, it is about selling your home faster and for the highest price possible. Your home will only have a few minutes to make a good impression.
The goal is to go under contract in those first couple weeks because that’s when you will get the best prices. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) reports that the longer a home remains on the market, the lower the price drops. Investing in staging is just that, an investment.
The International Association of Home Staging Professionals says 95% of staged homes sell in an average of 11 days or less and sell for 17% more. We will help you get your house sold so you can move on to what’s next.
