Staging Myths in Today’s Real Estate Market

Thanks to television and other media, real estate agents and homeowners know about home staging. But many think only of filling a vacant home with furniture.

Simple Staging

While that certainly can be part of staging, professional home stagers can help owners and agents sell homes faster and for more money with a variety of options. At its essence, staging preps a home to sell. That can be as simple as deep cleaning, opening or removing curtains or blinds, adding flowers and plants, decluttering, rearranging furniture, and updating a few accessories.

In a vacant home, partial staging combined with deep cleaning, lightening the home, quick repainting and other simple, cheap tactics can be effective to draw in buyer to help them imagine living in the house.

Buyers say that lingering odors, obvious poor maintenance and similar flaws can drive down offers.

“It doesn’t matter what type of real estate market it is (buyer’s or seller’s), the person walking through your home is still looking for the same thing. They want to imagine themselves living there, enjoying family and friends. And if they do, they will love it and pay top dollar for it! Home staging, whether restyling, decluttering, updating or adding furniture is really the key to creating an experience for the buyers. Staging and redesign like that provided by HomeShowDesigns can also provide the backdrop for exceptional photos that attract more buyers. We had such a great experience with Anne and her team. The house looked beautiful and sold in only one day for over asking price. I couldn’t recommend them enough!” Robin Phillips, Realtor
