STAGING FAQ'S...
I can’t
afford to have my home professionally staged…
Realistically, you can’t afford not to! In today’s
competitive market, staging your home should not be
considered a luxury or an expense. Rather, it should be
viewed as an investment in both your time and financial
future. A professionally staged home statistically
garnishes a faster and more profitable sale, thus spending
even a few hundred dollars can potentially net you thousands
in return. (see
Home Gain Statistics)
The San
Antonio housing market is still relatively strong. My house
doesn’t need to be staged…
You’re right! We are very fortunate here in San Antonio and
most houses will eventually sell. The
question is a matter of when and for how much. Studies show
that the longer a home stays on the market, the lower the
selling price will be. Since staged homes sell in almost
half the time and at a conservatively 6% or higher
cost*, why risk the financial loss? Today’s
market is full of savvy buyers with high expectations;
professional staging can give you that edge that gets you
noticed and gives you results!
Why do I
have to change the way I live for others? I like my style…
The way we live in our homes is entirely different from the
way we sell our homes! Potential buyers are looking for a
home that they can envision themselves in; one that appears
well cared for and is “move-in-ready”. Understandably, this
is hard to imagine in a home that is full of the reminders
of your family and the fullness of your everyday lives. We
applaud your individuality and style, but believe that to
best serve your financial success we need to help you create
a home that is universally appealing. Relax, in no time
you’ll be expressing that uniqueness in your next place!
But don’t be surprised…with the ease home staging lends to
your everyday living, you may just be hooked and incorporate
these same techniques into your future home! (see
Top Dollar Guide)
I’m very
creative. Why can’t I stage my own home?
Homeowners are extremely busy! The combination of work,
family commitments, impending relocation needs and home
selling demands makes it virtually impossible to dedicate
the time necessary to complete an effective and thorough
staging transformation. In addition, the seller’s emotional
attachment makes it difficult to see all of the flaws that a
discriminating buyer’s eye immediately notices. If you
can’t view something objectively, you can’t market and
package
it effectively. The unbiased eye of a professional stager
is dedicated solely to highlighting the positive,
downplaying the negative and making those transformations
that have the greatest return on your investment dollar.
