Home Staging Works!

What is home staging?
Home staging is a service designed to prepare a home to sell by accentuating its positive features and downplaying any weaknesses. Staging removes distractions so that buyers can focus on the space and see the possibilities a house holds for them. Many people believe home staging is synonymous with interior decorating. Although decorating plays a role, staging is much more about marketing your home to potential buyers.

Why stage?
The way a home is prepared for sale plays a significant part in how much it sells for and how long it takes to sell. Research on the value of staging consistently shows that most staged homes sell faster, and for more money, than unstaged homes. According to StagedHomes.com, the average increase in selling price for a staged home versus a nonstaged home is 6.9 percent.

Home staging is a value added service that is changing the way real estate is sold. When the market is good, staging brings in top dollar; when the market is slow, staging keeps it moving. Staging can give you a competitive advantage over the other homes in your area. Without staging, most people cannot visualize a home’s potential. By staging, you’re increasing the potential buyers for your home by up to 80 percent.

Home staging is important for all homes and in all areas. We’ve found it to be very useful in the current Lakeville real estate market! All of Tom’s sellers receive a complimentary home staging consultation!
