Why Does Staging Make a Difference?

· It creates a positive first impression.
· It helps buyers envision themselves in the home.
· It helps obtain the best possible selling price.
· A staged home will stand out from other homes in the same price range.

“In a 2004 survey of Realtors®. almost two-thirds estimated that a staged home kept in show to sell” condition sells for a price that is between 10% and 20% higher

 Staging speeds up sales in a sluggish market and can bump up prices 2% to 10% in a moderate market. The biggest advantage occurs with luxury homes or in a market with bidding wars over properties where effective staging can boost the prices by 30% to 50%
-Wall Street Journal 02/03/03

According to the National Association of Realtors®: "for every dollar sellers put into staging the sellers get $4.00 back.  The average increase over the listing price is 6.32%, enough to cover your realtor fees.  On a $500,000 house the added value of staging is $32,000.00!"

Real Estate Staging is the art of preparing homes for sale so that their best features are showcased and any problems are minimized.

Just as stagehands set the stage for a production, the same is done for a home. It is made to look cozy and inviting so that it stands out from the rest of the homes on the market. Most buyers are visual and have difficulty envisioning how a home could look with their furnishings, which makes it critical to “set the stage” or “paint a picture” for them.

Real Estate Staging is not about decorating – in most cases it is about un-decorating and is accomplished by home editing or de-cluttering, organizing, and the rearrangement of furnishing, artwork, and accessories.

It is the stager’s responsibility to look at the home through the buyer’s eye.
