Simple
enough. Now that you know the basics, let’s look at the benefits of
working with a home stager. Benefits
of Working With a Stager
During
Your Listing Presentation
A
Realtor or Home Builder who works with a home stager as part of their
team understands that home staging is a value added tool and a market
differentiator. Educate your sellers on the value of home staging. The
listing presentation is the perfect time to do this.
Before a Showing
A staged home, when properly photographed and displayed on the Internet,
will generate multiple showings. Research indicates as many as 80% of
potential buyers begin their search online.
During Showings
A staged home will show better than a non-staged home. The potential buyer
is provided a clear vision for each room. The home is “move-in-ready”
with no distractions.
After Showings
A staged home is remembered. Viewing home after home becomes
tedious and exhausting to buyers. The features of a staged home will stand
out and not be jumbled with all of the other homes potential buyers have
seen.
Throughout
the Listing Period
A staged home commonly sells more quickly, thereby reducing the number
of days on the market and the out of pocket costs to Realtors or Home
Builders associated with their listings.
When the Offer Comes In
A staged home often sells for a higher price. Buyers are willing to pay
more for a home that appears to be well maintained, tastefully arranged
and functions for their needs.
