How you live in a home differs from how you sell a home. While most homes benefit from staging, not all homes need staging.
We all envy anyone who keeps their home so clean it could pass for a display suite. But the reality is most of us live life with a heap of shoes at the front door and a collection of souvenir fridge magnets, and that’s okay, just not when you’re selling your home. Then it needs to look like the people we envy that live in a show home.
A well-staged home will appeal to the largest number of homebuyers and, as a result, attract the most offers and the best value for your selling price. In marketing photography, you’ll notice the difference between a staged home and an average home. We can use the highest quality camera equipment and lighting, but that won’t change awkwardly placed furnishing or mismatched decore.
The beauty of home staging is it’s creating love at first sight; staging isn’t about hiding things. It’s about showing off the best parts of your home and setting the scene for buyers to fall in love with the space. Staging can be as simple as reorganizing and decluttering what you already have. Or as elaborate as a complete furniture rental and replacement.
