Home Staging:

  • 1.  What is home staging?
    Living in your home and selling it are two very different things.  People set up their homes in a way that appeals to them and is practical for them to live in.  When it’s time to sell, you need to package your home into a product that can be marketed to the masses. Home staging is in essence “detailing” your house to sell it in order to ensure it appeals to the greatest number of buyers. 

  • 2. Why is home staging important?
    Successful builders use Model Homes and Model Suites to sell their projects because they know that presenting a show home environment creates that wow! factor that is enticing to buyers and compels them to “fall in love”.  That’s the recipe for writing up offers and that’s why home staging works.

  • 3. Why should I spend money on a house that I’m selling?
    You only have 1 chance to make a great first impression.  Your upfront investment in staging will ensure that your property stands out amongst your competition.  By investing a few hundred dollars, you will sell your property faster and for more money.  Even conservative statistics show that staged properties sell in half the time and for at least 5% more than its non staged neighbours. 

  • 5. How much will the property staging cost?
    Each home is different. Some big houses need very little staging and some small ones could need a lot of work.  But, as a rule of thumb, you should plan for 0.5% to 1% of the house price for property staging costs.

  • 4. My house is empty - should I stage?
    Most definitely!  Empty homes are harder to sell and can carry with them stigma that invite low ball offers.
