Preparation is key. Staging a home for sale can immensely help you get the most out of your property as well as selling faster! Proving vision of your house as well as giving a beautiful first impression will help your potential buyers to fall in love. Home staging can transform your property and make it appear as if it’s brand new! It highlights the property’s unique and characteristic features that make it stand out from all other listings. Staging helps buyers visualize themselves in your space. Here is 6 reasons WHY you should stage!
Leaves a Good Impression
Staging a house can give the subtle impression of a well mannered and cared for property. This puts the buyer’s mind at ease and makes it seem more valuable. If you were buying a car and had two options, would you pick the out of date dirty car or the clean well kept car?
Bigger is Better
Staging makes the house seem larger. When you arrange complimentary furniture in a way that extenuates the house, it can easily give the impression that the house is actually larger than it is.
The Purpose
Every room suddenly has a purpose. Buyers should never have to guess the purpose of a room, such as an office vs. a bedroom. It gives every room a defined singular purpose.
Competitive Advantage
Staging puts your house above all competition. A beautifully furnished house with warmth and life will most always win over an empty house. Staging can make a huge difference in the way others perceive your house.
House to a Home
Most importantly, staging can help your potential buyers view your listing not as a house, but as a home. Staging encourages them to visualize themselves in your house. Main Empty rooms are cold and lifeless (not the emotion you want your buyers to feel!)
Emotional Connections
Staging, in it’s purest form, is simply marketing and merchandising. Every room gives a stager the opportunity to add emotional connections to the space. By this, buyers will fall in love, aspire to live there, and can actually imagine their family in that home.
