Home Staging
If you are selling a home, you may be wondering about home staging.
The staging process assists the home seller in thinking objectively when preparing the home to market for sale. Certified stagers view the home as a product, with no emotional attachment. He or she will highlight its assets while downplaying its flaws. Staging has become more recognized in the real estate industry as an asset in having a successful sale.
Some simple preparations considered staging may include changing a wall color, removing personal furnishings, or simply packing away items that are not used on a day to day basis. There are many different professional staging budgets and packages that can be recommended by a specialist.
Benefits that home staging provides:
- Staged homes sell faster
- Staged homes get higher offers
- Staged homes have better appearance on MLS photos (getting more potential buyers to actually come see the house to begin with)
- Staged homes have an edge over competing properties, and having the home staged may sway the final decision
In addition, there is the benefit of the home selling more quickly. It is often hard to put an exact value on that aspect, but ask anyone who has been transferred across the country, and sold a house in the process, and they will likely tell you that the speed of sale was very important. House staging can have a big impact, and often lead to a faster sale.
