What is Home
Staging?
Home Staging is a relatively new business
which originated in the 1970’s from the need of Real Estate
Professionals to
educate sellers on how to “set the scene” to get their
properties sold
for the maximum price.
Everything
in your outer life, in particular your home environment,
reflects your inner self;
is it tidy, neat, messy, cluttered? Your home is an organic
manifestation of all that you are and what is happening in
your life.
Are you
selling your home?
When buyers walk through your beloved home, they are picking
up information on your personality and trying to determine
whether your home fits their lifestyle. This can be
a hard thing to do if it is sending signals to the buyers
that it is your territory, cluttered or messy,
wherever their eyes fall, as they tour the home.
Your
personal taste is just that – personal.
To sell your home, start by using the furniture you have but
stage it to appeal to a wider audience - the discriminating
buyers.
Over 80% of
buyers today begin their search on the internet and more than often, skip looking at properties that have no interior
photographs. Stage your home before your Realtor
takes photographs and buyers will see a home that is worth
the trip to visit. A picture is worth a thousand
words.
Home
Staging takes the guesswork out of the equation.
Depersonalizing your home, making it a welcoming and
organized space are a few of the goals of a professionally
staged home. Think of your home as theatre; the audience is
first drawn in the moment the curtain goes up – straight
away connecting to focal points and emotional vignettes,
setting the stage for the mood of each scene. The
professional home stager is trained with an eye for
determining what areas in your home can “set the stage” for
emotional connection points to reflect the wonderful
lifestyle that awaits them if they decide to purchase your
home.
