What is Home Staging?

Home staging is a process that prepares a home for sale, regardless of the home’s price, location, or condition.  Home Staging is the very best proven way to get top dollar for your home as you prepare it for sale.  Home Staging sets the scene throughout the house to create immediate buyer interest in your property.

"Home Staging is Changing the Real Estate Industry"

-Says Barb Schwarz

Home Staging is not about decorating. 

Home Staging is not about spending a lot of money to get your home ready for sale.

 It is about using the seller’s own belongings and budget
to get the home ready, so that it is in the BEST possible showing appearance.

Many people think that Home Staging is only about furnishing a vacant home for sale. This is certainly one aspect of Home Staging, however, there is much more to this concept. Home Staging is also about assisting sellers who are living in their homes, while their homes are on the market. When people decide to sell their home, they need to turn it into a house, or product for sale. The way you live in your home and the way you sell and market your house are two different things.  The Home Staging process involves “de-personalizing”, “de-cluttering”, and “neutralizing” a house in order for the potential buyers to view their own family and belongings there.  An Accredited Staging Professional (ASP) can assist a seller and/or realtor by staging a house to accentuate the home’s positive characteristics and spaces within.  Selling the house and the space inside is what Home Staging is all about!  Using a proven set of professional guidelines, the ASP can work with the sellers to create a “relaxing flow” to a house that makes lasting impressions for potential buyers.  Whether you are thinking about placing your home up for sale, or if your home is already on the market…it is never too early or too late to stage your property!
