There are plenty of things you can do to potentially boost the profits of your home sale, such as tackling repairs and renovations. One thing you may also want to consider is hiring a professional to stage your home.
When a home is staged, a professional comes in and decorates/furnishes the home to make it more appealing to potential buyers. This typically involves removing all the current contents of the home, such as existing furniture and decor. From there, a stager brings in their own furnishings and basic decor.
A stager will arrange furniture and decor in such a way that it brings out the best qualities of each room in your home. This can help potential buyers see the full potential of each room in your home whether they visit for an in-person showing, look at photos of your listing online or take a virtual tour with an agent.
Staging has also been shown to result in faster and more profitable sales.
The cost to stage a home can vary greatly depending on the company you choose and the region where you live. However, you can generally expect to spend between $300 and $600 for an initial consultation, followed by a flat monthly fee of around $600 (depending on your region) until your property sells. However, when you consider how much more money you can make off of a staged home compared to an unstaged home, this investment may quickly become worth it.
As you shop around for a professional staging company, be sure to look at a portfolio of each stager's work. This will give you a better feel for their sense of style and interior design. You'll also want to inquire about pricing and find out exactly what's included in your staging fee versus what may cost extra (such as staging of outdoor areas).
Having your home staged is a great way to sell your home faster and for more money, so consider adding this to your list of things to do before you sell!
Hi, I'm Ronald Bixby and I'd love to assist you. Honor, Respect, and Integrity...These are qualities that were instilled in a small town in upstate NY and reaffirmed in the US Navy. I was raised in a town called Horseheads. After graduating High school, I decided to see the world and I went into the Navy. Although I wanted to see the world, I ended up joining the submarine force and unfortunately, they don't have too many windows on subs! After getting out of the Navy, I found myself with an opportunity to get into the restaurant business and that's where I spent the next 30 years. I am blessed with an amazing wife, who is my rock, 4 beautiful daughters, and a son... Parenthood has a way of keeping you on your toes! However, thinking that I was missing something, I decided to make a change and started exploring the Real Estate business, and the more I looked into it, the more I knew this was the right profession for me. I like to help people and assisting a family buy or sell a home is a fantastic opportunity to do just that. If I can make someone half as happy as I am...it's a great day. Let me help you be happy.
