4 Ways Staging Puts Thousands More in Your Pocket when Selling

4 Ways Staging Puts Thousands More in Your Pocket when Sellingstaging

You are about to list your home for sale, and you're wondering...does staging matter? These days listing a home may mean staging it. But does staging really make your house sell faster, or for more money? The truth is that it depends on what's in the home, its condition, and its location. Here’s where staging helps:

1. Staging can help an empty house sell faster, which generally means getting more money in the long run. Staged homes help buyers focus on living in the house, rather than wondering how they'll fill all this empty space. They place a higher value on a home that feels more "finished."

2. Staging can help a house in a less desirable location sell faster. When a buyer has fewer "nice" options in their price range, then a staged home stands out.

3. Homes with odd layouts can also benefit from staging. A home with a middle room, for example, that has two doors. Most people can't picture what to do with the space without staging.

4. A home with tasteful newer furnishings probably does not need much outside staging. Cleaning, de-cluttering and rearranging can do the trick. Or a few single decorative pieces.

The best thing to do is have a discussion with me about your home. Together we can decide if it would benefit from a little, a lot, or no staging. I can then recommend a stager to help, if needed.
