A: Home Staging by Jennifer helps seller's create an inviting, neutral palette in the home with the goal of selling the home faster and for more money. Staging is not decorating. Decorating is personalizing your home, staging is depersonalizing the home. Home Staging is the very best proven way to get top dollar for your home as you prepare it for sale. You see buyers have a hard time imaging what a home could be. They only know what they see. Staging is about de-personalizing the home, removing clutter and presenting the positive features to the buyer. Not only does this allow the buyer to then visualize themselves in the home, but it allows the home to appeal to a broad range of buyers as well. By allowing the buyer to see the space and less of your personal belongings, the buyer can mentally move in. When you sell your home it becomes a product. Just as you would detail your car if you were selling it, Staging does the same for your home. We'll accentuate the positives and diminish any buyer perceived negatives.
Myth:
I've had people tell me, "My friend's home is immaculate. They don't need to Stage."
Fact:
This is a common misconception. While having a clean, well kept home is important when selling, the concept of Staging involves much more. It's really about understanding the psychology of a buyer. The proven techniques I use will help neutralize the home. The result will be a home that will appeal to as many buyers as possible.
A: I'll answer that question with another question? Can you afford NOT to Stage? Staged Homes out shine the competition. On average they sell faster and often for more money than Non-Staged homes. Home Staging by Jennifer offers a variety of services to fit your needs and budget. All pricing is done upfront so there are never any surprises. Your investment in Staging is always less than a price reduction.
Q: Why should I Stage my Vacant Property?
A: A vacant property has no energy or warmth. Staging can bring a vacant property to life. When I Stage a vacant property I use up to date and relevant furnishings and accessories. I own my inventory which allows me to control the quality as well as the cost. When a potential buyer enters one of my Staged properties they immediately know what the purpose of each room is. I create distinct focal points and make them want to see more of the home. Staging a vacant home slows the buyer down. The longer they stay in the home, the more likely they are to buy.
Q: When's the best time to Stage my home or listing?
A: The best time to Stage a home is before it goes on the market. You know the saying, "You only have one chance to make a first impression." I have seen amazing sales results even when I have Staged homes that were already on the market, but for the best results a little preparation prior to going on the market goes a long way. The worst thing you can do when selling a home is nothing.
