What is Staging?

Home staging is the preparation of a private residence for sale in the real estate marketplace. The goal of staging is to make a home appealing to the highest number of potential buyers, thereby selling a property more swiftly and for more money. Staging techniques focus on improving a property's appeal by insuring it is a welcoming, attractive product that any buyer can see himself/herself living in and, thus, desire to purchase.

When staging your home: buyers should be able to picture themselves living in your house—not picture you living in your house.

Home staging is no longer an option in today’s real estate market; it is essential. (Barbara Corcoran)

What Happens if I Don’t Stage My Home?

The selling price of the property will likely be lower and remain on the market longer, even go stale. This could be thousands of dollars that you could lose out on.

However, a well-staged home is designed to appeal to a broad spectrum of potential buyers. Staging your home before putting it on the market will connect you with your ideal buyers on an emotional level - maximizing your chances of selling your home for the best price.
