What is Home Staging?

professional Home Staging is the process of transforming your home into a show home. When marketing a home it is important to appeal to the largest number of potential buyers so that the property will sell quickly, for the highest sale price. Within the first 60 seconds of arrival a potential buyer will form an opinion of your house! That first impression and the feeling evoked within the purchaser can make the difference between having a listing sign or a "sold" sign on your lawn. You'll never get a second chance to make that first impression. As a professional home stager, home staging will make that first moment your finest moment by creating an atmosphere that buyers will fall in love with.

Buyers today are becoming more familiar with modern design trends. The rising popularity of home renovation television shows has created high expectations for buyers looking to purchase a new home. When it comes to making your listing stand out from the thousands of other listings that buyers have access to the services of a professional home stager are invalueable. A staged property shows much better in person but the critical difference is in the quality of the marketing photos online. Now days buyers are eliminating most properties from their list based on the marketing photos. They may decide not to buy your house without ever setting foot in it!

Better marketing photos lead to more viewings. More viewings = more offers which translates into a higher sale price in less time.
Home Staging is extremely valuable to real estate agents and home sellers in both boom and bust market cycles.

- Boom Market Cycle: a seller/real estate agent will make more money using home staging because they will often have multiple offers and bidding wars. Higher demand leads to a higher sale price.

- Bust Market Cycle: A professionally staged home will stand out even more during a down market because most in a slower market fewer people are willing to spend the money to make their listing more appealing.
