CHAPTER 7 Staging with Purpose
According to Wikipedia, home staging, or “real estate enhancement” is “the act of preparing a private residence for sale in the real estate marketplace. The goal of staging is to make a home appealing to the highest number of potential buyers, thereby selling a property more swiftly and for more money.” This strategy is effective in any market. No matter what type of home property is being listed, this approach works. It applies equally to single-family houses, apartments, townhouses, and condos. Agents and sellers using this tactic have a greater chance of selling the property for more money. Home staging does take extra time and work, but the payoff is well worth the effort. Staging is one of the most effective marketing tools to sell homes for more money. In today’s competitive real estate market, selling your home requires hard work and dedication. If you are a motivated seller, this is where you can bring your home to the marketing forefront. Creating an appealing, eye-catching home via strategic staging helps potential buyers envision themselves living in the home and has come to be known as the best investment of your time and effort when selling a home.
