FAQ

Q: Isn't Staging Decorating?

A: Staging your home and decorating your home are very different. The beautiful colors, personal collections and embellishments you've added to make your home warm and pleasing to you, may be the very things that distract a buyer. Staging presents your house's architectural features, square footage and visual charm at it's best advantage. Buyers need to be able to imagine themselves and their furniture in your house.

Q: Don't vacant homes sell better than furnished houses?

A: Not every buyer has the ability to see space, traffic flow and practical use of living areas when they look at a blank canvas. By providing vignettes of small furniture and accessories, you trigger the imagination and leave little room for misinterpretation or guess work. Simple, warm arrangements make a stark room look inviting. It also provides the buyer with depth perception.

Q: Is Staging cost effective?

A: The investment in Staging a home maximizes a homeowner's potential profit. The first 5% reduction in price on a non-Staged home listed for $250,000 would result in a loss of profit of $12,500. By listing a Staged home and capturing a 5% increase over the projected $250,000 listing price, the seller could gain an additional $12,500 in potential profit.

Q: Doesn't Staging cost alot of money?

A: Staging is an investment in selling your house and is always less than a price reduction. A consultation will provide you with the game plan for successfully preparing your house for the market. Consultations run from $250 to $450, based on the size of the home and the amount of time involved in creating the plan.
