08-29-19 | Selling

When it comes to selling your home, the experience can often feel overwhelming. From real estate agents, cleaning and everything in between – where do you even find time to stage your home?? But believe it or not, staging your home can be cheaper, more beneficial and far easier than you think. Here are a few misconceptions about home staging we want to dispel.

It’s Too Expensive

One of your big focuses when selling your home is getting a good return of investment. Sometimes, small investments can make a huge difference – this is especially true of staging homes. Not only is the price of staging very low compared to your home’s asking price, but homes that are staged sell faster and for more money than those you don’t!

I Can Do It Myself

One word: objectivity. You may know your own tastes and style, but are you familiar with how to appeal to the widest home-buying audience possible? Professionals in the industry will optimize your home’s best features, its light, flow, and space – as well as making your rooms look amazing!

It Only Makes Sense for Empty Homes

While vacant houses greatly benefit from furniture to show their true potential, it also applies to you already-furnished homes. You want your spaces to look as open and welcoming to would-by buyers as possible, who want to envision the space as their own. Staging accommodates these needs to will appeal to those coveted buyers.

I Should Only Stage if the Home Isn’t Selling

First impressions are so important when selling your home. Once it’s on the market, buyers are unlikely to revisit a property regardless of a change in décor. Only price reductions change this – something we all want to avoid. From the get-go, show your home in the best possible light for the best results. Remember, the longer on sale, the less attractive your home becomes. Meet buyers’ high expectations with an immaculate presentation of your home.
