Staging
taging is the art of preparing homes for sale so that their best features are showcased and any problems are minimized. Most buyers are visual and have difficulty envisioning how a home could look with their furnishings, which makes it critical to “set the stage” or “paint a picture” for them. Just as stagehands set the stage for a production, the same is done for a home. It is made to look cozy and inviting so that it stands out from the rest of the homes on the market. Real estate staging is not just about decorating—in most cases it is about un-decorating and is accomplished through a combination of home editing, organizing and the rearrangement of furnishings, artwork and accessories. Staging a vacant home consists of placing items into the home, renting furniture if necessary, and creating a warm and inviting space. A staged home will always be more appealing than a vacant home! Fact to consider: “According to the National Association of Realtors, for every dollar sellers put into staging, the sellers get $4.00 back.”-Article by Teri Clarke, in Homeowner’s Choice Magazine, February 2006 Remember—you are never given a second chance to make a first impression!
