The Art of Home Enhancement

As an agent, home staging is import to help display a property in its very best light.  It is our goal to sell any property for its very highest and best value – staging helps us do that.  Home staging is the very best proven way to get top dollar for your home.  Staged homes sell faster and for more money! This is because staging sets the scene throughout your house to create immediate buyer interest in your property.  Staging emphasizes your home’s most appealing features and highlights and minimizes the impact of any challenges your home may have.

Just as you would prepare a car for sale by having it detailed, you need to prepare your home for sale by staging.  I often tell clients that “the way you live in your home, and the way you market and sell your house are two different things.”  Staging helps a home look as spacious as possible, and often a lived-in home has more furniture than is needed or recommended to accomplish this goal.  We typically need to minimize or edit a home owner’s belongings by having items that are not helping to sell the home or distractions pre-packed, put out of sight, or temporarily moved to storage.

There are different levels of staging and it is important for clients to see that it can be as simple as removing the distractions or re-arranging some furniture. There are many available options and ways to showcase a home  – that’s why we call in the professionals. Home staging can help your home create the best possible first impression!
