Home staging is the act of preparing a private residence for sale in the real estate marketplace. The goal of staging is to make a home appealing to the highest number of potential buyers, thereby selling a property more swiftly and for more money. Staging techniques focus on improving a property's appeal by transforming it into a welcoming, attractive product that anyone might want. Many people believe that staging raises the value of a property by way of reducing the home's flaws, depersonalizing, decluttering, cleaning, improving its general condition and landscaping. For vacant homes, prop or staging furniture is used to create a living space where the buyer can imagine themselves living. Properly executed staging leads the eye to attractive features while down-playing flaws.
Personal Note: For me, staging is more than just "re-arranging" or cleaning up as some might think. I take personal pride in ensuring that a home will appeal to the largest audience of prospective buyers. I want your home to sell fast and for the most money possible! - Jen Rothstein, Owner of Staging Matters, LLC
