Why Home Staging?
Home staging is one of the most important steps in professionally marketing your home to appeal to the largest body of potential buyers.
A higher standard has been set in the housing market, as a growing number of real estate agents and homeowners are realizing the necessity of home staging in order to sell faster and for top dollar.
A house that is not staged and does not show well will only help to sell the homes that are staged. In the process, homes that are not staged get left behind, and when they do eventually sell, the offer may be well below the asking price. This can even be the case in a hot market.
Potential buyers will always look for reasons to low-ball an offer on homes they feel are not move-in ready or need updating and repairs. Do not give them this ammunition.
Most initial home searches start online and through printed materials. Potential buyers are forming their first impressions based on pictures of your home, and they are deciding if it is worthwhile to drive out and see your house in person. For this reason, it is vital that each room is showcased at its best and photographed well in order to bring in more traffic from potential buyers.
Home staging is not unlike dressing a store-front window. You are merchandising your home in order to bring more people through the front door and encouraging a sale!
