STAGING FAQ'S...
What
price range is suitable for home staging?
Staging
is a valuable investment for all properties on the market.
It is not something that should be reserved for higher
priced properties. If you are selling a property, have it
professionally staged! Professionally staging a home, in
all prices ranges, increases the probability of a higher
sale price and a quicker sale.
I live
in a “hot” Real Estate Market, why should I stage?
Staging
is beneficial in both a buyers and sellers market. In a
sellers market, there are fewer houses than buyers. A
professionally staged home in a sellers market can create
even higher demand for your property. This will result in a
bidding war! See
“Home Sells for well over Asking!”
In a
buyers market more properties are for sale than there are
buyers. In this type of market, it is even more critical to
professionally stage. The competition is fierce! You want
your property to stand out every chance it gets. On MLS, on
drive bys, scheduled viewings and open houses. Investing in
home staging, ensures your house is well “packaged” to stand
out from the competition.
Why
can’t I stage my own house?
