Stage It, Sell It, Profit!
Turn on any popular home network on
cable TV and you’ll find a program on staging.
Re-arrange your furniture, pick a soothing
color palette, clear out the family photos, and your home will sell faster, and for more money. Sound too frou-frou to be
true?
It’s not! The soft and decorative side of staging is backed by hard facts.
Real estate agents like
great-looking homes because they are easier to sell. Why is that important?
An agent’s job is to please their clients,
and they will direct their buyers to the homes they think they will buy.
Agents talk
to other agents who are also directing their buyers to the best homes on the market. An attractive listing will be
shown more often, meaning more market exposure—critical for a quick and profitable house sale.
Staging is non-negotiable in many parts of the country. Staging a listing for
sale in an area where the concept hasn’t caught on can give you an advantage, particularly if there are many unsold
listings similar to yours on the market. Buyers gravitate to listings that look good and are in move-in condition.
Buyers are looking for value. When prices are flat or on the decline, buyers need to perceive that
the house is worth the price.
Bottom line: staging is more than an exercise
in tasteful interior design. It is a business decision that can have a huge impact on your financial return and timeline.
