Home staging has become an increasingly important step in selling your home. Over 97% of buyers go online to search for homes, and when they do, they make decisions in a matter of seconds. This is why the first impression of your home becomes critical. You only have a couple of seconds to engage a buyer with photos that embody everything they are looking for in a property before they move onto the next listing; and once a buyer crosses a property off their list, it is nearly impossible to convince a buyer to look at that home in person.
Home staging sells homes by helping buyers see past the current home sellers' belongings to imagine their own idyllic future and paints a picture of a lifestyle that they want badly enough to pay top dollar for. And while there are a lot of practical considerations for buyers looking at a home (price, square footage, style, and location) many buyers will still pass on a property that meets all of these criteria. Why? Because buyers also have to make an emotional connection to a home before they feel compelled to make an offer.
If they are to fall in love with your home and make a high offer, buyers need to be able to envision themselves happily living within it. They will picture themselves living an aspirational, idealized lifestyle — entertaining in your living room, cooking in your kitchen, and barbecuing in the backyard. Even buyers who do not currently host dinner parties or entertain over the holidays want to imagine that they could. And that is where staging comes in!
Once you decide to sell your home, it is time to stop thinking about it as a reflection of yourself and your personal taste and start thinking of it as a product. The most successful home sellers are those who have detached emotionally from their home and think of it as a product for sale in a competitive market. Your home is probably your biggest investment, and you want to get the largest possible return on it. Any profitable product is marketed with a buyer in mind. Home staging uses what we know about the current market, as well as recent design trends, to make your home as compelling to buyers — and profitable to the seller — as possible.
We are dedicated to the highest standards of excellence available in the industry. We understand that your home, regardless of price, provides an untold significance of the value of your life.
