STAGING SERVICES
If you are a buyer, agent, seller, developer, or real estate broker, and you are visiting this web site, you probably already have an idea what “staging” is. But, what you don’t see on programs shown on HGTV is all of the work going on behind the cameras: the evaluating, measuring, planning, ordering, shopping, storing, and cleaning that professional stagers do to bring out the best in their client’s property. Some perceive staging to mean only cleaning, decluttering, painting, and making minor repairs – all part of the staging process – but the fact is a properly staged home can determine the asking price for the property and the length of time a home remains or does not remain on the market. Staging professionals know how to create the right atmosphere for each home through meticulous attention to detail and thorough assessment and evaluation of color and lighting, furniture, and accessory selection and placement, and so much more. No matter what the neighborhood, size, amenities, situation of the home, or the market conditions – every home can benefit from using a real estate staging professional.
STAGING FACTS
Professional real estate stagers know how to make buyers fall in love with the property by:
- Envisioning themselves cooking in the beautiful kitchen, reading a book by
the warm fire, relaxing in a luxurious tub, toasting dinner guests in the
inviting dining room
- Editing furnishings, art, and collectibles to give a home an elegant, clean
look and create that “WOW” factor so critical to turning a “looker” into a buyer
- Placing furniture, art, and accessories to capitalize on a room’s function
- Making cosmetic changes (painting, wallpaper removal, replacing broken
tiles, etc.) that enhance the value of the home
- Suggesting multiple functions of a room to meet the needs of buyers
- Taking advantage of natural views and architectural features to show off the home in the best possible light
Most buyers will eliminate a home with a tangible list of “non-negotiables,” but they will buy a home based on how they feel about it. Once smitten, buyers will readily ignore their criteria and even pay more. In fact, no matter what the real estate market condition, a professionally staged home can mean more buyers willing to bid the price up to assure they get what they love! Of course, no stager can guarantee that any property will sell faster or for more money, but statistics support the fact that the likelihood of selling faster and for top dollar is greater for a staged home.
