Importance of Home Staging

Why stage a home? Well, it typically leads to a quicker sale and more money. By doing some little changes and improvements, a home becomes more appealing overall such that buyers will clamor to “get it” and try to outbid one another, raising the price, because they love the contemporary look and feel of the place and can totally imagine themselves moving in as soon as possible.

Home staging is a must. Much like you’d get dressed up to go out on a interview, your home needs to look its best before potential buyers walk through it. Furthermore, the furniture and decorations should be properly arranged (“staged”) to maximize visual appeal, making the place feel open, warm and welcoming.

A professional home stager’s job is to minimize clutter and maximize space while also including key furniture pieces and artwork in a home so a potential buyer could easily see themselves living there. If you’re planning to sell your home and it currently has no furniture, a home stager can actually rent (or borrow) items like couches, beds and rugs to give the home a more appealing look and feel — which ends up being much better than having a potential buyer look at bare walls and empty rooms.

Or, if you currently live in your furnished place but want to sell it, a home stager can come in, move some things around for a fresher look and feel, do a few quick paint jobs, remove or replace a couple of outdated items, and give the place a basic update at a reasonable cost.
