The Top Ten Reasons You Should Professionally Stage Your Home

 
  1. You will make more money. U.S. Housing and Urban Development reports show that a staged home will sell, on average, 17% higher than an un staged home.
   
  2. Your house will sell faster, which equals less headache and less hassles. The average number of days on the market of an un staged home is 30.9 verses 13.9 for a staged home.
   
  3. The cost of staging doesn’t cost a dime. In a 2007 Home Gain study of over 2000 realtors, it was discovered that sellers who spent typically $500 on staging services for their home recovered over 343% of the cost in the sale of their home.
   
  4. Most homes sellers cannot view their homes objectively. If you can’t see objectively, you can’t package effectively. A staging professional will get your home into its most advantageous condition for showing, to reach the most potential buyers.
   
  5.  You’ll have less guesswork and “Do It Yourself” work. A professional home stager can manage your projects from start to finish. Or they can give you a detailed report and you can do it yourself, you chose.
   
  6. Only 10% of home buyers can visualize the potential. That is why staging a home is critical! You don’t want the advantages of your home overlooked and left up to the buyer’s imagination.
   
  7. The longer the home is on the market, the lower the price will be. So stage first! According to a National Association of Realtors survey, homes that sold after 4 weeks on the market sold for 6% less than ones that sold within the first 4 weeks! Don’t be in this position where you have to lower your price. Remember…The cost of staging your home is less than your first price reduction.
   
  8. The money you invest may be tax deductable. Check the tax laws of your area.
 
  9. Leaving your home in “as is”condition will help sell the competition. Right now the number of homes for sale on the market is at a record high. Competition is stiff and buyers have very high expectations. Successful agents know that the key to selling is professional staging.
   
  10. You can relax. You will have the satisfaction of knowing you have done absolutely everything possible to produce a quick sale of your most valuable commodity and for top dollar!
