Home staging can be FREE!

"Home staging can be FREE?", you may ask unbelievably. 

Yes, in some cases home staging can actually be free. For those of us in the home staging industry we understand the return on the investment that staging a home can bring to the sale of a property.

"Did you charge for your services?", would be a good next question.

Of course! this is a business after all.

Home staging is a powerful marketing tool that can assist in the successful sale of a home. 

Staging is a MUST for selling a home in today's real estate climate

With powerful statistics reported from the Real Estate Staging Association (RESA) and the testimonies of others who have experienced the benefits and success of staging a home we know it works.  Indeed in most cases, the staging pays for itself and is FREE and  can even  bring more money to the table.

"How do I know this is true?"

Let me tell you.

I recently received a wonderful testimony from a client. I did not know what she was going to write and when I read her letter I was thrilled to read that the staging paid for itself.

While I do not recommend adding costs to the sale of a home when it is priced right to begin with, there are cases in which a home may fall within a price range and can be priced at the top portion of that range when prepared and packaged for purchase properly.

Another powerful testimony to the fact that when working with a professional home stager staging works & can also be FREE!

"Thank you so much for all your help with staging our home.  The final result was beautiful.  We increased our asking price to cover the cost of staging, then put the house on the market on Monday.  On Tuesday, we received two offers for our asking price!  We are closing on our house within 30 days of putting it on the market.  That's amazing!  I am positive that we would not have had this result if we had put our house on the market vacant!!...."

Free! What a great way to put it. It does pay for itself and saving the time on the market is priceless.

FREE?? It is a profit center.  If I pay a professional stager $500, for example, I expect the value I get back to be greater than my investment.  At the very least, and as statistics show, I make money by having my home on the market fewer days than un-staged homes.  That in itself will make me much more than $500 - $1,000.  You did a great post on ROI here that I really liked.   energizedseller.com/.../north-texas-home-staging-consultation-125-return-1-000-on-day-one.aspx

Thanks for your post.

I agree Dan.  Although as home stagers we are constantly faced with the objection of COST of staging regardless of the proven statistics - for some reason it doesn't always translate to the mind of the skeptical public.  This is just another way to let people understand the value that we bring and I totally know that there is always a return on that investment!
