HOME STAGING SOLVES BUYER OBJECTIONS

Sometimes I see photographs on the MLS and I am not certain what is for sale.  I see counters, shelves, display cases, table tops, closets and rooms that are filled with stuff.  It's impossible to look beyond all the stuff and see the property.  I think to myself "look at all that stuff".  If I am having trouble viewing the property can you imagine what the potential home buyer is thinking?  We are all in love with our stuff and we love it when others love our stuff, but when preparing to sell a property why, why, why would all the stuff remain everywhere?

When personal items become the focal point, the message being given is that the homeowner has to move because there isn't enough space.  To top that off, when the stuff is disorganized not having enough space is amplified.  Stuff is wonderful, but to the unattached, potential buyer it's clutter and clutter says "NO STORAGE."  Staging solves that dilemma.

80% of the clutter in most homes is a result of disorganization, not lack of space.  To sell a property, show the potential home buyer the space through staging.  The first thing staging will do is evaluate what should be kept out and what should be packed away.  Homeowners are typically not objective enough to make that decision and agents are sometimes hesitant to make that assessment for fear of offending their client.  Professional stagers (www.stagerightstaging.com) will implement a plan that prepares a property for market.   Staging helps turn a dweller into a seller.  Staging can help turn a property into a much sought after commodity that will garner offers and place all the focus on the square footage, amenities, character and possibilities of the property. 

Looking into having a professional stager review/assess a property is typically a very small investment and in some cases the assessment comes with a proposal which might be at no cost at all.  Consultations are less expensive than an actual stage.  What is there to lose?  Reducing the days-on-market, increasing inventory turns is good business.  Reducing the cost of doing business for the agent makes sense.  Quicker sales through staging benefits everyone.
