What exactly is Home Staging?
Home Staging is the process of preparing ones house for sale. A professional home stager specializes in
creating favourable impressions
everywhere that a potential buyer may rest their eyes. By
highlighting a homes selling features, and by enhancing
the functionality and visual flow of the house, a professional home stager uses proven strategies to create
a desire in the buyer to make your house,
their new home.
Why should I hire a professional home stager?
Let's face it, we are all attached to "our stuff". It is truly difficult to be objective when you
are surrounded by the items and
furniture that you and your family love. Likewise, it can be extremely difficult to decide
what to pack and what to leave on
display with all of these emotions at play. A professional home stager is trained to assist you
in focusing on the sale of your home, by impartially highlighting the
features and benefits of your home, so that a buyer
will see their own belongings, their own
furniture, and the future of themselves and their family, right
there in your listed property!
Is it really worth having my home professionally staged if it is already on the market?
Ideally, you would want to have your home professionally staged before it goes on the
market. It is no secret that properties have their greatest "exposure opportunities" within the first few weeks after being listed. However, if your home is already listed, having it professionally staged will move you in a positive direction to attempt to further minimize any
additional time that it could potentially sit on the market, while striving to maximize your potential return.
It is an unfortunate fact that houses that don't sell quickly are
usually reduced in price in an effort to regenerate interest at a new price. Professionally staging ones house with Contents Home Staging has proven to be much less costly to the homeowner than the average
price reduction.
Is there a difference between home staging and interior decorating?
It's actually quite simple. Interior decorating is for living. Home staging is for selling.
While interior decorating aims to make a homeowner feel great while living in their home, home staging on the other hand, is the art of making a prospective buyer feel at home in your house during their initial walk-through.
Home staging will make your house appeal to most potential
buyers, by accentuating the top selling features of your listing.
