Whether you are a real estate agent or property owner you need to know that home staging is not going to change a property into something that it is not. The process of home staging is to put your property's best foot forward and to elminate objections and distractions. Try as I may and as much as I would like to boast that I can make a $100,000 property look like it's worth $300,000 I cannot, but what I can do is make that property stand head and shoulders above the rest of the properties in that price point, within your time frame and within your budget. I will make recommendations and assist you with the decision making process and help you establish priorities so that you get the biggest bang possible for your buck.
What will staging do for you? Home stagers will assess your property on the outside and on the inside. We will look at landscaping, visual clutter, minor repairs, lighting, color selection, furniture placement just to name a few. We will make suggestions that will improve the marketability of your property but we cannot promise you that you will receive the exact amount of money you spent in return. What will happen, in most cases, is that you will sell more quickly and if priced appropriately sell close to the asking price if not the full asking price. Another thing you will do is reduce your carrying cost and be able to move on with your life. You decide if that is what you want and if it is then hire a reputable, accredited, experienced, insured home stager.
