A home staging professional is responsible for preparing a
home for sale. Showing your home in the best light so that it will appeal to a
wide variety of buyers. According to the Real Estate Staging Association
(RESA), homes staged before hitting the market sell, on average, 73% faster
than their un-staged counterparts.
The primary goal of home staging it to make your home your
home features shine. A good designer will work with your homes style to create
a staging plan that match. It is important to know that Home Staging goes
beyond simply making your space attractive. A professional will see your home
how a buyer will see it and therefore can be more objective. Even if your home
is beautifully decorated, it is meant for you and may only appeal to a specific
buyer. A stager can come in and suggest ways to help make your home appeal to
most buyers.
Almost a third (28%) of buyers are more willing to overlook
property small faults when the home is staged. The reason is because when a
home is staged it accents the positives and gives the buyer other things to
focus on. Home staging can also offer solutions for those problem areas that a
buyer may not be able to see if the room has no furniture. If a room is small
or has a weird shape then having the room staged will help the buyer visually
see the space. According to RESA, over 81% of buyers find it easier to
visualize the property as their future home when its staged.
