A successful stage creates an emotional connection for the buyer to the property.   In a staged environment, buyers can more easily envision themselves living in the home and creating memories. 

 

Staging adds value to the property, as it is likely to increase the sale price of the home and reduce the time it takes to sell.  Staging can also bring multiple offers in both seller and buyer markets.  A staged home typically spends less time on the market, thereby reducing the seller's ongoing expenses.  Less time on the market also means that a staged home will be less likely to need a price reduction in order to sell.

 

A staged home shows and photographs better than an unstaged home.  A staged home is more likely to be viewed by buyers as well-maintained and as move-in ready.  Because of this perception, staged homes tend to receive offers with fewer contingencies and greater sale prices.
