"Your home is a big investment - when it comes time to sell,

home staging can optimize that investment."

Many buyers have no imagination and see only what you show them. They have difficulty visualizing how an empty room could look, fully furnished.

Without furnishings, buyers have trouble determining scale in an empty room. If a buyer is unsure how furnishings will fit in the home, they will not buy it.

Staging will make an otherwise cold, lifeless property appear warm and homey, thereby increasing its appeal to potential buyers.

Empty rooms actually appear smaller than when they are properly furnished. Rooms appear larger and have a defined purpose when they are staged with well-chosen furniture and accessories.

LIVING ROOMS

It is said, in the real estate market, that buyers make up their minds about a home in less than 10 seconds upon entering. A home that makes a poor first impression has probably lost the potential buyer's interest before they've even seen its best features.

Show them the love! A well-staged home tells prospective buyers that the home is lovingly cared for. It gives them the confidence and peace of mind that they are buying a home that has been carefully maintained.

Properly executed staging creates flow in a home, making it feel roomy, spacious and comfortable.

DINING ROOMS

"Vacant homes are forgettable"

“When I see a home with no furniture in it, I instantly drop my offer price about 30% in my head, figuring the original owner is in some kind of predicament."

- Prospective Home Buyer

Don't sell yourself short after that expensive renovation is complete. Many buyers automatically reduce their offer price when they see a vacant home, assuming the seller is in trouble; by leaving a newly renovated home unfurnished, you'll simply be inviting 'low-ball' offers.

Research shows that staged homes sell faster and for more money:

A survey by Barb Schwarz of StagedHomes.com in 2005 revealed that staged homes sell in an average of 7 days versus 45 days for unstaged homes.

She also found that homes that were staged sold for more money - an average of 6.9% more - than homes that were not staged.

Empty rooms give the buyer nothing to focus on but the flaws.	Staging gives your home the edge it needs to compete.

Successfully executed staging creates a feeling of warmth that buyers connect with on an emotional level

BEDROOMS

Before

Too many personal items or too much clutter can make a potential buyer feel uncomfortable and as if they are intruding in your home. It creates an unpleasant distraction that prevents the buyer from forming an emotional attachment to the home.

Staging often raises the value of a property by way of reducing the home's flaws, de-personalizing, de-cluttering, cleaning, enhancing curb appeal, and updating the home's style. Properly executed staging leads the eye to attractive features, while minimizing flaws.

After

KITCHENS

Home staging is more than simply interior decorating. The way we live in our homes is very different than the way we sell them, and staging takes this into account.

You’re not just selling a house, you’re selling a home, a lifestyle. By creating ‘lifestyle vignettes,’ home staging allows potential buyers to easily imagine themselves living in the home, enjoying an upgraded lifestyle.
