4 Benefits of Staging Your Home

4 Benefits of Staging Your Home

 

When it comes time to sell your home there quite a few key factors that will play a role in both the success, profit and efficiency of the sale. While hiring a knowledgeable seller’s agent is of course a vital key component to any successful real estate sale, one tool that sellers can use to help excel their listing, and thus result in a faster and potentially more profitable sale, is by choosing to stage the home.

Allows Buyers to Really See the Home

By staging your home, it removes any and all personal belongings and set’s the home up to look as if the buyer was about to move in. This allows the potential buyer to visually see themselves in the home without picturing the life someone else may have had. By showcasing the potential your home has and by staging each room you are essentially creating a beautiful blank canvas where buyers can mentally plan out a life prior to moving in. Instead of seeing a nursery, buyers could envision an at home office, or a guest room to fit their personal needs.

It Sells the Home Faster

 If you are hoping for a fast sale, staging your home is another great tool to success. Homes that are staged generally sell 90% faster than those that aren’t. While this percentage does vary pending on the current market and homes available, generally a staged home will always sell exceptionally faster than those that are not. Not only are the seller’s personal belongings already out of the home, but the home staging provides a fresh appearance and buyers will generally place an offer sooner simply by the aesthetic of the space.

It Provides a Higher Offer

While there are costs involved when it comes to staging a home, by choosing to stage the property you can also receive a higher offer and thus sell your home for a higher profit. On average, staged homes sell for 6% more than homes that are not. Staging your home will allow the space to be amplified, features will be highlighted, and the functionality of the space will cause buyers to spend more thus boosting the value.

It Expands the Curb Appeal

You’ll often see articles about how important curb appeal is when it comes to selling your home, however, the wow factor shouldn’t stop when you walk through the front door. By staging your home your potential buyers will have a first impression that is sure to last and thus will set your home apart from the rest.  In an industry where first impressions mean everything, there is no true downside to choosing to stage your home.

“Life will lead you to where you belong. Five years ago life led me to meeting Karen Baker at an Open House. Our relationship continues as Karen and her husband Frank have been outstanding not only in helping my husband and I find the right retirement relocation home, but we have watched their commitment in helping many others find their homes. She and Frank treat every client as if they are the only ones that exist. They provide thorough research of areas and homes of interest and present you with the options. They are not your typical hard sell, must-buy-now realtors. They are here to help you find your next home?. You won’t go wrong with the Bakers!

“The Bakers treated us like family during our whirlwind weekend of looking at houses. Prior to our on-site visit to Sunset Beach they created a portal and populated it with properties that met our ever-evolving criteria. By time we arrived we had a good feel for what we could afford and what was available that met our criteria. The Bakers, especially Karen, were able to make sense of what we thought we were looking for and eventually matched us with a house that we ended up purchasing — Karen called it the “This is it” house and she was right. We are loving our 2nd home and appreciate how painless Karen and Frank made the process. All the paperwork was done seamlessly and quickly and the closing went off without a hitch. The Bakers do not believe in the hard sell — they gave us the knowledge we needed and the guidance we needed to make our dream a reality.”

Amy and I have bought and sold four properties in the past twelve years. Both of you are the best realtors we have ever dealt with. Amy and I both felt we could trust you to look out for our interest. The level of service you provided was outstanding, from taking the trash out, helping the buyer with inspecting the irrigation system, dealing with our tenants, always being there if we needed to ask a question, providing constant updates on the market and always keeping us informed on the sale of our house. I think your next venture should be training other realtors, because both of you have mastered the art of providing excellent service. I will be sure to recommend the Frank and Karen team to anybody looking for a trust worthy, knowledgeable and top performing realtor. It was a pleasure working with both of you.”
