Home Staging? What?
That is the typical response when I tell people I am a Professional Home Stager so I decided to write this informative and comprehensive article for the enjoyment and benefit of my sellers. And for that matter the entire South Jersey population…smile.
Home staging is a concept that is catching on around the country as the market cools and homes become harder to sell. It consists of making the most of your home's attributes and making it more attractive for a potential buyer. Home staging has been known to boost home sales prices, as well as quicken the amount of time the home stays on the market. It is an absolute MUST in this market.
Home staging often includes decluttering, depersonalizing, and moving around, removing or adding furniture and decoration to make your home really shine.
I will tell you which items should be removed, what should be added and how best to feature your home. We will spend some time going over the house together and turning your home into a marketable product. The way you live in a home and the way you sell your home are totally different, it is my pleasure to help you sell your home FAST!
While home staging may seem like an unnecessary expense, there probably isn't a single house that couldn't benefit from a bit of carefully manipulated staging-even if it's a simple matter of re-organizing, freshening up and highlighting the architecture details and benefits of your home. Often just these simple changes can amount to significant increases in the bottom line profit when selling your home as well as decreasing the time on market.
I provide a simple consultation from $200 to $400, and extensive staging work runs anywhere from $800-$2000. Well less than your first price reduction.
By putting out a bit of money up front, you just might find that the benefits from staging your home can greatly outweigh home staging costs.
I look forward to further explaining the benefits of staging and my other unique marketing strategies to you and getting your house sold!
