Staging in today’s market is proven to bring a better price for your home, up to 17% more according to the National Association of Realtors. If the home does not show well in photos, you will not get showings. Today’s buyers shop on the internet, so how your home appears in photos will make an overwhelming difference in how many showings a home will receive. The fact is, the better your home looks on the websites, the more potential buyers will select your home to visit and potentially purchase.
All home stagers are not created equal. Many people think staging is decorating, that is not the case. Decorating is personalizing, staging is de-personalizing and preparing the home to appeal to a wide range of buyers. The Accredited Staging Professional (or ASP) has completed the accredited staging course that prepares agents and stagers to properly stage a home. This course looks at what is trending today to help stagers select home staging accessories, paint colors and arrange the home to show at its best to entice buyers to visit the home and make offers. According to the National Association of Realtors, 52% of buyers are willing to pay more for a staged property and 96% of buyers’ agents say staging, done correctly, affects how buyers view a home, 81% of buyers say a staged home is easier to visualize as their future home. The numbers speak for themselves. Staging your home is a wise investment.
