STAGING BENEFITS FOR SELLING
MYTH: Staging involves the rental of furniture, art
and accessories when selling an occupied home.

Proven staging techniques will enhance the space, create better flow, define rooms and minimize the flaws in the house.
Essentially, staging modifies the interior to provide an open, fresh, updated feel the buyers are looking for in a house. Staging neutralizes the overall appearance in order to appeal to the highest number of buyers.
Staging is more important than ever, and it is a crucial step toward making a successful property sale in any real estate market, but especially in this challenging climate. Staging ensures the property generates interest as soon as it hits the market, and gives it a competitive selling advantage.
Studies have found buyers decide within the first 30 seconds if a house is right for them. Staged houses are seen as well cared for and are proven to sell at a higher price -- and more quickly -- than non-staged homes.
The internet is integral to today's real estate market: over 84% of potential buyers find their homes online. Presenting a property with "cyber-curb appeal" is essential. The exterior as well as each room in the house must be internet-ready to be showcased online.
With a weakened housing market, there is a trend where sellers are staging their properties before hiring a Realtor so the property is valued at the highest price possible.
Staging helps buyers visualize themselves living in the home. It maximizes the property value by creating a “wow” factor. Buyers are presented with a house that is pristine, uncluttered and fresh.
Staging is an intelligent, effective investment, which will help sell your home versus having to reduce your selling price.
Staging Options can supply accessories, artwork, mirrors, and some furniture from available inventory.
