Deciding whether or not to stage your home prior to putting it on the market can be quite a financial dilemma.  The cost associated with staging a home can range anywhere from few hunder dollars for an average sized house to well into the thousands for a larger house.  The question is: Is it worth the extra expense to stage your house?  The answer is: Absolutely!

 

Very few homebuyers can visualize the potential of a home during the home buying process-this is why staging a home is critical.  The staging process helps to avoid the best features of your home from being overlooked and being left to the buyer’s imagination.

 

Home staging is an art that utilizes marketing and decorating techniques to create an environment in which potential buyers will feel immediately “at home.”  Designer’s intuition and  skills create emotional connection points throughout the house,  helping to highlight the best or minimize the least desirable  aspects of each space.  These expert decorating touches effectively create consistency and balance, allowing buyers to gravitate towards houses in which they feel the most potential and connection.

 

There are several important steps that must be taken into account when selling your home:

 

1. Marketing your home on the inside with professional home staging

2. Showcasing your home to the public – Online Marketing, brochures, open houses, etc…

3. Pricing the house correctly – analyzing similar homes in your area, finding the right agent, finessing your price

 

Following each essential step is a key to bringing in the right offer!
