NAR Home Staging Report 2017
Why home staging ?
A lot of my customers are leaving their homes while we start the listing process, taking most if not all of their furniture with them.
Others are still living in their homes, but furniture placement and decoration are often “personal taste” like the collection of dolls, photos, pillows, rugs, vases etc. or just “living with that since a long time” like clutter on top of cabinets, collected cardboard boxes or sport articles.
Empty rooms, like cluttered or very personalized rooms, make it difficult for buyers to “see themselves” living in that space and of course make it harder to sell.
That’s why we do home staging.
We stage empty rooms with furniture like beds and nightstands, wall pictures, window treatments, tables with dining sets, Florida room seats and pillows, decorations, bathrooms with towels and colored soap blocks, making the home look “live in ready” and giving the buyer a picture how it could “look like”.
And we are cleaning out clutter, sometimes move furniture or even get “some stuff” out of the house to make it look roomier.
My team and I know how important home staging is, and we see the results in time on market, offers, and of course feedback from my colleagues.
While it’s easy for a seller to SEE the difference, it’s always great if you get a positive feedback from acknowledged and reputable sources about home staging.
So I was very glad to see this report in our Florida Realtor Magazine.
Here are a few images from this home staging report 2017 and below a link to the whole article.
