Staging creates the best first impression of a home and prepares it to appeal to the most prospective buyers. It maximizes a home's attributes, minimizes its flaws, and defines its spaces.

The way you live in your home may not be the best way to present your home to potential buyers. In contrast to decorating, staging "depersonalizes" the space and creates an emotional connection so buyers can imagine living in the home.

Buyers have high expectations and form an attitude towards a home within seconds. You only have one chance to make a first impression, so make it count!

The majority of buyers cannot visualize the potential of a home. Don't leave it up to their imagination--show them the benefits of your home with staging.

Staged homes are proven to sell faster and/or for more money than comparable unstaged homes.

In the current "buyer's market," staging will help your house look better than the many homes you are competing with. 

Most sellers cannot view their house objectively in order to maximize its appeal to potential buyers. Homeowners get used to the way it looks and have difficulty detaching emotionally in order to make changes that could improve its appearance.

A professional stager can view your home objectively in order to effectively prepare it for sale.

A professional stager can manage your project from start to finish or give you detailed recommendations to have you complete the work. 

Hiring a professional allows you to concentrate your time and energy on other aspects of your move.

A staging consultation can cost as little as $125.00, while vacant property staging that requires furniture and accessory rental will cost more. Each project is unique, so costs vary significantly depending on the size of the house and number of rooms to be staged. 

Staging costs are an investment in getting your property sold. They are significantly less than a price reduction and carrying costs. They may even be a tax deductable expense related to marketing a home to sell.
