What is home staging and why is it important? It’s different from preparing your house for sale, which involves cleaning, de-cluttering, repainting, and making minor repairs. Staging your home is what you would do AFTER you’ve already done all of the above. It’s about illusions and creating the right atmosphere, and making your home look bigger, brighter, cleaner and warmer, so that buyers will want to purchase it.
This is done by strategically rearranging the furniture and making careful use of home decorating accessories to set the mood and make your home look more appealing.
Before you dismiss this as an unnecessary step in the home selling process, consider this: statistics show that homes that were properly staged prior to selling have sold faster and for more than homes that were not.
So should you try and stage it yourself or should you hire a professional home stager? Well, it really depends on you and how confident you are in your ability to stage it yourself, but the benefit of working with a professional is that they know exactly what they are doing and will be able to highlight your home’s best features and downplay its flaws. Most real estate agents will know a reputable and experienced home stager, and will be able to help you avail of their services.
