Why you MUST Stage Your Vacant House or Condo Before Listing

To a lot of people, Staging may seem frivolous. Many people think it is an unnecessary expense right before a potentially expensive move. But, Staging usually means a quicker sale for your home. And it might also mean that you avoid a price reduction – which could knock your list price down by $10k or more. But there are some other powerful reasons to hire a Home Stager, like….

1) No knick-knacks, no furniture, no style. Your buyers cannot emotionally connect with an empty property. Home Staging® can give an empty property enough of a soul to create a desire in buyers to make an offer.

2) Not all of us are gifted with the best sense of space. Rooms can look bigger, or SMALLER, without furniture. Some of your potential buyers won’t be able to properly imagine what the property will look like once it is furnished and decorated. Staging® sets the scene and gives the homebuyer an idea of whether that bedroom is capable of handling a queen or a king bed.

3) Realtors will tell you one little secret. At showings and open houses, buyers truly cannot see the full potential of an empty property. Vacant property generally does not sell for as high a price as an occupied and/or staged one. You can expect to recoup the cost of your Staging – and then some – in the offer price you receive on your home.
