SEVEN REASONS YOU SHOULD PROFESSIONALLY STAGE YOUR HOME FOR SALE 1) You Will Make More Money - According to the *National Association of Realtors (NAR), the average staging investment is between 1- 3% of the home's asking price, which generates a return of 8 - 10%! 2) Your House Will Sell Faster = More Money and Less Stress - A NAR survey found the longer a home stays on the market, the further below list price it drops. Homes sold in the first 4 weeks averaged 1% more than list price; 4 to 12 weeks averaged 5% less; 13 to 24 weeks averaged 6.4% less; and 24 weeks averaged more than 10% less than list price. 3) Staging Doesnt Cost A Dime - In a 2009 Home Gain Survey of over 2000 Realtors, it was discovered that home staging typically provides a 586% return on investment! 4) Most Home Sellers Cannot View Their House Objectively - If you cant see objectively, you cant package effectively. Have a staging professional get your home into its most advantageous condition for showing. 5) Your online photos will stand-out among the competition - According to a NAR profile of buyers, over 90% of buyers are searching for homes online first before deciding to visit.Give buyers a reason to drive to your home by having multiple photos of beautifully staged rooms that will stand out among the competition! 6) Only 10% of Home buyers Can Visualize the Potential of a Home - Thats why staging a home is critical! You dont want the advantages of your home overlooked and left up to the buyers imagination. 7) Leaving Your House AS IS Only Helps Sell the Competition - The number of homes on the market is high. Competition is stiff and buyers have very high expectations, as well as many choices.The key to competing is professional staging because it creates compelling online presentations, drives buyer traffic to the home, and turns prospects into buyers.
