Should You Stage Your Home?
To stage or not to stage – Is that your question?
Let's get it answered!
I'm {name} with {brokerage} in {area}, and today I want to talk about home staging.
What does it mean to stage your home?
Staging a home is a strategic marketing tool used by sellers to help buyers imagine themselves living in your home and fall in love with their property.
Staging is more than just putting a new welcome mat in front of the door and getting new throw pillows - when done correctly it can help a home sell for more money in a shorter amount of time.
So, what are some of the benefits of staging your home when listing?
For one, the listing photos look phenomenal, attracting more buyers into the home.
Additionally, staging allows buyers to envision themselves living in your home.
Fun fact: 83% of real estate agents said that when a home was staged, it actually made it easier for a buyer to visualize the property as a future home.
Staging has been proven to get a higher price in shorter time.
Now, let's look at the cons:
Staging can take time to set up and take down after selling
Staging can be costly when hiring a professional stager company
If done poorly, staging may not be in the buyers' taste
So, what do you think? Would you consider staging when listing your home?
