Staging

Staging has many benefits when selling a home.  In a good market, it could be the very difference between your home and another down the street where the buyer can visualize the home as a place they want to live.  In a down market, it could that few extra thousand in asking price that pays off the mortgage and allows a down payment for your next home.  Simply put, it's all about the book cover.

Sales and studies have shown staging to be beneficial when selling your home.  In this day and age where the internet is the first place one looks before buying a home, you want to know the photos you or your realtor have up are going to be appealing enough to schedule a showing.  If your home looks drab and in need of work, well, they may just keep on clicking to the next listing.

Occupied Staging

Occupied staging is one of the most common and sometimes necessary means of staging.  Sure you may get decent photos, but when the potential buyer comes to view your home, you want it to be easy for you to get out and let the realtor do their thing.  If you are constantly doing the mad dash to get all the clothes, papers, toys, whatever out of view so your home looks good, it's going to be exhausting.  Staging helps you declutter and use what you have present in your show home at its best.  Learn more about what we do and pricing here.  Learn more...

Vacant Staging

For homes that have already been vacated, there really is a blank canvas look about it that appeals to some people.  However, for many who aren't visual people, it's difficult to image where the sofa would go and would it fit in this space, is this bedroom large enough for our furniture, and many other size and style considerations.  Vacant staging takes a few select areas of the home and furniture and style are added to create a feeling of home and warmth necessary to imagine your home as the RIGHT home.

Virtual Staging

The last option is relatively new to the scene but makes sense in this day and age; it's virtual staging and it's really catching on.  While it lacks the benefit of getting a space ready for a showing, it is highly useful in testing out different layout and allows the seller to place beautiful items in the space without updating current furniture or renting updated furniture.  Another added benefit is style.  A space may be styled in a Traditional style, but can be displayed in other style, say Modern to appeal to a wider range of buyer.  Learn more...
