What is home staging?
The process of turning a home into a desirable “product” that will appeal the greatest number of buyers and stand out from the competition. This is accomplished by de-cluttering, de-personalizing, refreshing and or updating what is dated, old and worn out and then re arranging your furnishings to best show off the selling points of your home.
It can also be the furnishing of a vacant property.
Why Stage?
Recently, I had the privilege of working with two siblings who were looking to sell their childhood home. This house held many cherished memories for them, as it was built by their parents and lovingly maintained for 64 years. However, the time had come for them to pass it on to a new owner.
Together, we made some strategic updates to the home to make it more appealing to potential buyers. We focused on two key areas: updating the wall colors and replacing the flooring. These relatively simple changes made a huge difference in modernizing the space and making it more inviting.
After applying fresh coats of paint and installing new floors throughout the house, we decided to take it a step further by professionally staging and photographing the property. The results were astounding. Within just one week of being on the market, we received 10 offers, ultimately selling the house for almost 10% more than originally expected!
