The Importance of Staging for Sale

Selling a home includes many steps, one of the most important being the staging of your home. Why?

Simply stated, it increases your value!  It may also help your home move faster.  First impressions are everything … and it starts from outside the home with curb appeal, right through to the inside rooms.

Here are some key benefits to staging:

• Makes your home look clean and organized
• Strives to make rooms look bigger
• Makes your home feel more welcoming
• Uses maximum space, adding functionality to each room and corner
• Modernizes your living space through new, creative furnishings
• Depersonalizes your home and attempts to have the buyer imagine themselves in the space

When you take away any barriers to purchase, it will help buyers close faster and get more offers.

The cost of staging is often included in your realtor’s fees or can be negotiated, so why not try it?  Yes you may need to rearrange some furniture or even purchase a few small items or fixtures to add the value, but it will be well worth it in the end.
