Why would someone bother to stage their home? To put it simply, it gets results. We recently talked to Patricia Ebrahimi with Show Smart Staging about home staging and its effect on real estate transactions.
The main purpose of staging a home is to facilitate the fastest and most profitable sale of your home. The first step to getting your home staged begins at an initial consultation, where a stager will determine your home’s advantages and disadvantages. Every home has both.
Home staging is not the same as interior decorating. Interior decorating is more personal and done to your personal tastes and liking because you're going to live in it. Conversely, home staging is about appealing to the broadest array of potential buyers in your target market to make them fall in love with the home.
Staging works by focusing on the home’s advantages and focusing away from its disadvantages. If a home is vacant, only key rooms like the first floor and master suite need to be staged.Staging helps produce an emotional connection with buyers.The return on investment for staging is huge. It’s the strongest marketing tool in real estate, according to Patricia. It produces the emotional connection with buyers that a vacant or unstaged home simply can’t.
The whole process only takes a few days from the initial consultation to the full staging. The bottom line is that if you want the most profit from your sale in the shortest amount of time, staging is a must.
