What is Home Staging? 

Home Staging is professionally preparing homes for sale so that they appeal to

the most amount of buyers and generate the highest price in the least amount of

time on market. Staged Homes traditionally present themselves better than the

competition by being clean, clutter-free, and ready to show to prospective buyers.

Home Staging is NOT decorating, fluffing, interior design or redesign. Instead,

Home Staging is detailing, de-cluttering, depersonalizing and preparing a seller's

home to give it a "model home" appearance so that the potential buyer can "see"

themselves living in the home.

The moment homeowners decide to put their homes on the market the properties

they have lived in effectively become products. Their real estate agents assess a sales

price, devise a marketing plan to get the home sold and prepare to put the listing in

the multiple listing service.

So what can consumers and their agents do to catch the attention of home buyers?

They need to: 

• 
  
  Make the first impression of the home positive and inviting
  
  


• 
  
   Enable buyers to envision themselves living in the home
  
  


• 
  
   Show the full potential of the home
  
  


• 
  
   Make the home visually appealing for online listings

homes with the assistance of an Accredited Staging Professional®. Staging gives

sellers the competitive edge and will almost always cost less than a first price
