Home staging, the process of preparing your house for sale, will put you in the director's chair when selling your house. By setting the scene in your home, you can appeal to the emotions and imagination of your audience of prospective buyers. Staging will allow you to direct the action for a faster sale for the optimum price.
Home staging is all about presentation. Home staging is essentially showing your home by putting it's best features forward and appealing to the broadest range of potential buyers as possible. It's about creating a buyer-friendly environment. It's about the potential buyer's perception of your house as they walk through. It's all about first impressions.
Staging will enhance the true value of your property no matter what it's size or style. Home staging will connect your home with the hearts of your potential buyers. How buyers feel in your home ultimately influences whether or not they make an offer, what price they offer and how quickly they make an offer. When potential buyers walk into your home, the stage you have set and the atmosphere you have created will connect with their hopes and dreams for a new life in a new place.

In the highly competitive real estate market, your house needs to be priced right and it needs to look better than the competition. Various studies have shown that a staged house sells faster and for more money, and the longer your house is on the market the lower the selling price will be.
The way you live in your home and the way you sell your house is quite different so it is likely you will need to make some changes to improve it's attractiveness to potential buyers. Leaving your house in "as is" condition, only helps to sell the competition. If you house hasn't been staged, it may well be used as a comparison with those that have been. Potential buyers only know what they see, not the way it could or should be.
Don't make the mistake and overlook that you house needs to appeal to real estate agents as well; otherwise, they will pass it by in favour of other properties they think they can sell.
Home staging is one of the most powerful marketing tools you have when selling your house. It can make the difference between a successful quick sale and a price reduction.
Staging works!

Staging a house before the sign goes on the lawn definitely has its benefits...
RETURN ON INVESTMENT
A staged house sells an average 6.9%
more than an unstaged house. A return on investment, for home staging is 169%.
Considering that the average real estate commission is 5%, it's easy to do the math and see that staging has the
potential to cover the cost of your realtor fees and still put money in your pocket.
SELLS IN LESS TIME
A staged house is more marketable, appeals to more people, overshadows the competition and consequently,
House Hunters find them irresistible. They're snapped up on average in 11 days. An unstaged house sits on the market for an average of 22 days.
SAVES YOU MONEY
Before lowering your list price, consider staging. Make the investment and your house will be more marketable.
When it sells, you've avoided the price reduction and can put that money in your pocket.
