What is Home Staging? Home Staging is the term now widely used to describe the process of getting your home ready for sale by ensuring the presentation is the best it can be. But Professional Home Staging is much more than painting it all neutral and clearing the clutter!
For many home sellers and Real Estate Agents the concept of “Professional Home Staging” is being increasingly recognized and used to effectively promote and market a home in the marketplace. Homes that are “Staged” sell faster and for more money! This is because Staging sets the scene throughout the house to create immediate buyer interest in the property. This will then lead to selling the home for the highest possible price in today’s market.
We work with our clients to deliver a plan that is achievable for them. Recommendations are prioritized in order of importance based on cost and time considerations, so homeowners know where emphasis should be placed. When homeowners understand that these changes will aid them in selling their home faster and at the best price they typically are energized to “come on board” with the project. Many homeowners execute their “stage” based on the information of a single consultation.
Why Hire a Professional Stager?
Real Estate agents are experts in the field and know exactly what factors can help sell a home, but it’s not always that easy to get a home into selling condition in a timely manner without some sort of experienced assistance. That’s where Connections Interiors can help.
- The homeowner and realtor alike benefit from a staged home that sells faster and for the highest possible price.
- Avoid awkward conversations about décor, clutter and other problem conditions. We will “gently” educate your client on the difference between decorating a home for sale versus residing in. Once we show them how their home will produce a higher offer with our recommendations most are eager to get on board to make the necessary changes.
- Save time – we can do many services in a single day or two, to get the house on the market as soon as possible.
Our stagers are practiced in the art of preparing a home for resale. We work with the “flow” of a home, eliminate clutter, edit out and re-arrange furniture, and even assist in enhancing curb appeal. With the aid of our professional stagers, your listing can make a notable first impression on potential home buyers.
