CHAPTER 7 Staging with Purpose
Staging is the act of sprucing up and setting up a home's interior to make it as visually appealing as possible to a prospective buyer. Creating an appealing home — one that potential buyers can envision themselves living in — is the best investment in the
sales effort.
Sellers often fail to take full advantage in this regard, as it takes considerable time and work. However, the payoff is proven. Staging is considered one of the most effective marketing strategies to increase the value of your home but professional staging it is not worth the investment in most circumstances. Get the advice of your real estate professional before going ahead with staging. This strategy is effective in any market, in any type of home property being listed. It applies equally to single-family houses, apartments, townhouses, and condos. This approach works! Agents and sellers using this tactic have a greater chance of selling the property for more money.
Staging the home will:
• Distinguish it from the competition • Attract top dollar from homebuyers • Provide a visual edge over the competition
