I just spent a long day Staging homes.
Staging? What is staging you ask? Well that's a very good question. Staging is the act of preparing you home to appeal to the largest number of buyers. It consists of moving furniture and packing up clutter to arrange you home as a salable product.
Can't any one do that? Well yes and no. Any one can rearrange a home's contents but not everyone can do it well. It's like going to the dentist for a pulled tooth... yeah I'm sure Uncle Denny can tie your tooth to a string and then slam the door shut to yank it out... but just because he can doesn't mean he should or that you would even want him to do so.
Home staging is kind of the same. Lots of agents claim to be able to Stage your home for sale but there are very few who can do it well. Most of the time agents will come in with their magic REALTOR wand (you didn't know we got wands after we passed the state exam ;-) and while waving it around they command that you move this piece of furniture and pack up your beloved clown collection. Many times leaving the home owner feeling hopeless and distraught.
Well, I'm different. As an Accredited Staging Professional, I roll up my sleeves (at no additional cost to the home owner) and I actually spend 2-6 hours moving furniture and packing boxes... with the goal to present your home as the best possible choice in your price range. How many agents will do that for you?
