As a realtor, the advantages of staging a house are obvious. It highlights the key features and helps potential buyers envision the property as their future home thus selling more quickly, often for a greater profit. Also, it will cost much more to make a price reduction on the listing than the investment to stage the home.
The question is not necessarily why stage a home, but rather how do you encourage sellers to stage their home with professional staging furniture. Sellers may be reluctant or skeptical of the benefits, wanting to ‘test the market’ first. We know that staging your home to sell gives you an edge and can help get a seller top-dollar or even more. That is why we have written this article as a tool you can use to encourage sellers to stage their home.
