STAGING FAQ'S...
Why should I have my home professionally staged?
Home stagers are professionally trained in the art of
preparing and merchandising a home for sale. Professional
stagers view a property objectively and know how to maximize
the potential in a home. We stay current on the market
trends and focus on what will help sell your home. Photos
of a professionally staged home will entice online lookers
to actually visit the home, increasing your potential buyer
traffic. A staged home will stand out among its
competition, and will make a more memorable, favorable
impression to a wider segment of buyers. Having your home
professionally staged could mean the difference between your
house selling before the same house down the street.
Can I stage my home myself?
Staging a house properly requires hiring a professional home
stager. Homeowners are so used to living in their
surroundings that they usually are unaware of how their home
looks to new eyes. It’s normal to see past our own clutter,
the worn carpet and the deck that needs a fresh coat of
stain. What a homeowner might consider a minor distraction
could become a major deterrent for a home buyer from even
considering purchasing the home.
In this market, I already have to ask less for my home than
I had hoped. Why is my agent suggesting I spend more money
to stage my home?
We understand it’s hard to invest money in a house you are
leaving, but staged homes, even in today’s market, sell
faster and for a higher price than comparable homes that are
not staged. Time is money – if your home sits on the market,
it costs you money and your agent is more likely to suggest
you lower the asking price. The cost of home staging is
less than lowering your asking price! Today, buyer’s
expectations are high and marketing your home as a turn-key
product is a necessity. Staging is the best investment you
can make to entice buyers to come and look at your home.
With so many houses on the market, you can’t afford not
to stage your home.

with Creative Staging can cost $100-$250. Full staging
services typically can cost between 1-2% of the asking price
of the home. Creative Staging offers a range of staging
