Staging FAQ's...
WHY
HAVEN’T I EVER HEARD OF HOME STAGING? Home staging is
relatively new in the St. Louis and Metro East areas. While
home decorators are abundant, home stagers are different.
Home decorators work to satisfy the taste of one client,
while Tailormade Home Solutions works to satisfy the taste
of the home-buying public for a faster sale at a higher
price.
HOME
STAGING SOUNDS EXPENSIVE. CAN I AFFORD IT? Almost
everyone can afford the services of Tailormade Home
Solutions because it is an investment that you will recoup
when you sell your home. Besides, home staging is much less
expensive than a price reduction or two that you may have to
make to sell your home. And if you can’t sell your home
quickly enough, will you lose or pay more for that “dream
home” you hope to move to? See Staging Statistics.
WHY
CAN’T I JUST STAGE MY HOUSE MYSELF? A homeowner is
usually unable to stage because they are emotionally
attached to the home or have lived there so long they “can’t
see the forest for the trees”. Home staging is not a
decorating exercise; it is a MARKETING exercise.
CAN’T MY
REALTOR JUST GIVE ME A FEW TIPS? Your realtor is much
too busy finding prospective buyers and doing a myriad of
other things necessary to sell your home. A realtor may not
have the time, resources or expertise to stage your home.
WHEN IS
THE BEST TIME TO HAVE A HOME STAGED? Before you list the
house is the very best time, so no prospective buyer or
other realtor sees your house unstaged. If already listed,
stage your home before an open house so new or returning
prospects will see it at its very best.
And
definitely stage your house before you consider a price
reduction.
