What is Home Staging?

According to Wikipedia, Home staging 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. Staging techniques focus on improving a property’s appeal by transforming it into a welcoming, attractive product that anyone might want. 

Why should your home be staged? 

First impressions will determine the fate of a listed home. Only 10% of home buyers can actually visualize the potential of a home, so it needs to be welcoming, neutral, and move-in ready as soon as buyers drive up and walk in. The National Association of Realtors reported that the average number of days on the market for a staged house was 13.9 days versus 30.9 for an un-staged house. Some markets are reporting sales up to 80% faster than un-staged homes. Housing and Urban Development reports a staged home sells 17% higher than an un-staged home. If your home looks like you value it, then others will value it too and offer more than homes that do not show as well as a staged home.

Testimonials

“Agnes is a really dedicated Real Estate Professional that assisted us both prior, during and after closing or buying our House. Agnes was very responsive to my calls and email and made herself available all times a day to work around my work schedule. As I was a first time home buyer in the US I had a lot of questions that Agnes answered without hesitation. Agnes also was quite proactive in assisting me obtaining insurances, home warranties. I can highly recommend Agnes to any future buyer/seller as she went above and beyond to assist us.”

 “Agnes helped me buy and sell a home this past summer. Her professionalism and attitude are unmatched - she worked very diligently to make sure everything went through properly and in a timely manner. Whenever an issue came up, she took care of it immediately. She is a great communicator and was  very quick to move on potential opportunities, so I never felt like I was waiting on her to move forward. I have never worked with a realtor so involved and passionate about her job - when we needed someone to repaint a door, Agnes went to the house and painted the door herself. She helped me find my dream home and while I don't intend on moving for a very long time, I would definitely want her on my team again and I recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a house”

 “Agnes was my best resource after working with other realtors for weeks to no avail. With Agnes, I was able to communicate exactly what my family needs were - and she actually listened! We found the perfect home with the not so perfect price. Agnes went to work to negotiate for us and got us under contract in one weekend. Agnes is compassionate, knowledgeable, and most of all available for her clients. I would recommend her again and again.”

 “Agnes went above and beyond. She knew we had a short window of time to find a home and she worked long hours to find one for us. She knew exactly what we were looking for and found one while we were on vacation.”
