Have you ever seen a property that’s a mess and visually unappealing with so much furniture and junk that it is impossible to see anything? There are walls that need cleaning, and floors that should be polished. The lighting is dreary and the color questionable. There’s plenty of clutter, but no warmth, and perhaps, even a strange smell.
Home staging has become a "must do" for sellers. Some 77% of buyer's agents said home staging makes it easier for prospective buyers to visualize the property as a future home. Staged homes sell faster and for more money than those that are unstaged, according to industry analysis.
Staging has only recently come into prominence—20 years ago nobody worried about staging. As a post on the legal website "NOLO.com" points out, “Giving your home a good scrubbing and hiding the kitty litter was considered enough before putting out the ‘for sale’ sign. [Now] more and more home sellers in many parts of the U.S. enlist the services of home stagers.” That makes it very likely your property will be competing with homes that have been professionally staged. In addition, the huge popularity of HGTV shows has heightened buyer expectations.
A stager can help with your online listing, too. A staggering number of people—95% according to a National Association of Realtors (NAR) report—use the Internet during their home search. That means that your home had better show really well online. Staging and photos by a professional can help you do that—and keep your home off Terrible Real Estate Agent Photographs.
Why home staging is important. ... Staging helps sell those dreams and creates a more emotional purchase that can generate more money for the seller. Home staging is also beneficial because potential buyers don't want to see work that needs to be done upon moving into the home.
