What is Home
Staging?
Home
Staging is the professional, objective
analysis of a home to determine what it needs to “wow”
prospective buyers. It is a rather new concept in the St.
Louis and Metro East areas. Especially needed in a slower
market, professional home staging results in a home selling
50% faster and for 6%-10% more. Since only 10% of
prospective buyers can look past what they don’t like about
a home; that means that the remaining 90% need to be shown
the charm, comfort, and “at home” feeling of a home.
A
professional home stager works with a homeowner and their
realtor, if they have one, to design a plan for the home
that is practical, timely, and within a budget. The
homeowner may purchase as much or as little of the services
as they wish. They may want to perform some work themselves
or hire other kinds of professionals for certain tasks.
A
professionally staged home is more than cleaning and
de-cluttering; it is a transformation that encourages
prospective buyers to form an emotional connection with the
home. A professional home stager stays current on home
marketing and sales trends in the area, as well as design
and decorating trends. The stager will first use items in
the home and then add accessory items to demonstrate to the
homeowner what is needed to create that emotional factor.
The stager will also produce photos that the homeowner and
realtor may use in marketing.
Every
home can benefit from a Tailormade Home Solution!
