Staging: The Magic You May Be Looking For!

Leave a comment

Does anyone really have “vision”?

Let’s face it, most of us do not have “vision” when it comes to imaging another home as our own. As a home buyer, you appreciate seeing a potential home that’s gets you excited and makes your heart pound, right?

As a home seller you want to put your best foot forward to help your buyers view your house at the absolute top value you feel it’s worth, right?

It’s emotional!

I can list the statistics from the National Association of Realtors and other organizations that have documented the value of home staging because it has resulted in homes selling for the highest possible price in the least amount of time. I know you’ve seen the data. But what is it about staging that makes the difference? It’s emotional! And people make real decisions based on emotion. (There are studies documenting this point as well.)

When you approach the house and when you walk in, you feel an instant WOW! The feeling is fresh, clean, light and bright. Something about the space draws you in. You notice the fabulous views, elegant fireplace, perfect lighting, spacious rooms, and seamless flow! You are not distracted by personal photos and belongings, evidence of pets, extreme wall colors, oppressive and excessive furnishings or other obstructions. You simply feel an easy flow and a fabulous vibe, maybe even some passion!

Here’s what one of my clients had to say,

The suggestion of “staging” was something I hadn’t thought of, but after being introduced to the idea, I went with it and was amazed by the change it brought to my home. It was magnificent!!!
