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.
