With
the way the market is today, Sellers and Realtors
are looking for aggressive ways to sale their
home and get the best price. There are too many
similar properties out there, so the home not
only needs to be priced right but also appealing.
That is why Staging will be valuable to both
Seller and Realtor. Your home should sell in
a shorter time then a home that is not priced
correctly or staged to sell.
What
is home staging?
Home
staging is an effective Marketing tool that
Sellers and Realtors use to sell their homes
more quickly and to get top dollar. Staging
is not decorating! Decorating or Design is personalizing
and Staging is De-Personalizing. That is why
it is important that you hire someone with training
specifically on how to prepare a house for sale.
Use
staging to enhance the home's appeal. A professional
home stager can make over your home to de-emphasize
your personal taste and become more visually
appealing to a broader range of buyers. The
key is to clear out clutter and clean. Buyers
feel the home is well maintained.
Building
Inspectors view Staged Homes as well cared for.
Staging can extend from re-arranging your own
furniture to renting furniture and accessories
for a vacant home on the market for sale.
A
two-hour consultation with written recommendations
for do-it-your-selfers cost around $300. But
a full staging of a large home could range from
$500 up. The fee structure is based on the size
and the scope of the project. Those fees are
paid up front to professional stagers, but many
real-estate agents include some staging as part
of the services they offer their sellers.
The
goal for staging is that prospective buyers
are able to make an emotional connection and
see themselves living inside your home. A staged
home sticks out from all of the rest! The investment
in staging your home is less than your first
price reduction.
