Top 7 Reasons You Should Professionally Stage Your Home

(1) Your House Will Sell Faster Which in Turn You Will Get More Money and Less Headache and Stress

A National Association of Realtors survey found that the longer a home stays on the market, the further below list price it drops. Homes that sold in the first 4 weeks averaged 1% more than the list price; 4 to 12 weeks averaged 5% less; 13 to 24 weeks averaged 6.4% less than list price; and 24 weeks averaged more than 10% less than list price.

(2) You Will Make More Money

According to the National Association of Realtors, the average staging investment is between 1 and 3 percent of the home's asking price, which generates a return of 8 to 10 percent.

(3) The Cost of Staging Doesn’t Cost Anything

In a Home Gain survey of over 2000 Realtors, it was discovered that home staging typically provides a 343% return on investment.

(4) Only 10% of Home Buyers Can Visualize the Potential of a Home

That's why staging a home is critical! You don't want the advantages of your home overlooked and left up to the buyer's imagination.

(5) Most Home Sellers Cannot View their House Objectively

If you can't see objectively, you can't "package" effectively. Have a Home Staging Expert get your home into its most advantageous condition for showing.

(6) Your Online Photos Will Stand Out Amongst the Competition

According to the National Association of Realtors profile of buyers, over 85% of buyers are searching for homes online first deciding to visit. Give buyers a reason to drive by your home by having multiple photos of beautifully staged rooms that will stand out among the competition.

(7) Leaving Your House in "AS IS" Condition Will Only 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, as well as many choices. Successful agents know that the key to competing is professional staging because it creates compelling online presentations, drives buyer traffic to the home and turns prospects into buyers.

NOW YOU CAN RELAX KNOWING YOU HAVE DONE ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO AFFECT A QUICK SALE OF YOUR MOST VALUABLE COMMODITY AND FOR TOP DOLLAR!!!

What is Home Staging and Our Services

Home Staging is preparing of the home and allows homeowners to realize quick, profitable sales of their home prior to entering the market.

Home staging is about creating a dream home for buyers. It goes beyond just cleaning, depersonalizing and decorating. It's about engaging the minds of your buyers to envision themselves in your home. Staging will play up the positive features in your home and downplay the less desirable ones. It is a MUST do while in a down market.

Professionally staging a home for sale is the most effective way to minimize time on the market, maximize selling price and reduce owner carrying costs. Although the concept of home staging is simple, a successful staging requires much experience and skill.

First impressions are everything! In today's competitive Real Estate market, your home must be more than just neat and tidy. Your home must have a distinct advantage over the competition and make a lasting first impression upon potential buyers as soon as they step foot on your property. Home Staging has become a standard for sellers looking for that advantage in getting their home sold quickly and for top dollar.

Statistics show that professionally staged homes not only sell 50% faster, but they sell for 6-10% more money on average than non staged homes. For an average home, that's a $20,000 to $80,000 gain. How can you afford not to stage?

Modern Touch Home Interiors specializes in property enhancement. The basic idea of staging, redesign, merchandising your home, or property enhancement is all the same process. It is simple, yet unique: to assist Realtors and sellers with professional advice and design in presenting homes for sale in the best possible light.

Modern Touch Home Interiors puts you in a multiple-offer competition by utilizing a combination of furniture arrangement, accessory placement, color and other strategic staging techniques to position your home to receive the highest price possible in the shortest amount of time.
Real Estate professionals agree that enhancement experts add to the bottom line of any home sale.
