Why should I stage?
Your home is one of many homes for sale and you must present it to buyers in the best possible light to stand out from the competition, and create immediate interest.
From home to house for sale
Before you place a property on the market for sale, the property needs to transform from a home to a house, or in other words - a product. And just like any other product for sale, the properties features must be highlighted.
The property has to look, smell, and feel better than the competition. Buyers want to know that they are getting the best property availble.
More buyer visits
Home Staging increases buyer interest online and in marketing collateral. Home staging helps get buyers to visit your property - the first step in the sales process.
- Over 80% of home buyers use the internet during their search for a home, more than any other media.
- Home buyers say the two most important features in a sellers marketing are photos and detailed descriptions.
- Buyers and their real estate agents compare online property photographs to select properties they wish to visit, or not visit.
- Staging ensures that your property photographs look better than the competition resulting in more buyer visits.
Best first impression
Home Staging makes the best first impression on buyers when they visit.
- Is it well known that buyers always want to buy the model home.
- Buyers always show more interest in the professionally staged listing when comparing like priced properties.
- WHY? Because buyers only see a listing the way it currently is, not the way it could be.
My home is "Fine as it is"
- This is the biggest mistake that most sellers make
- Most home sellers think that their home is 'fine the way it is'
- Simply decluttering and tidying up is not home staging
- As an exercise, walk around your home like a buyer.
- What is the first impression your home makes on you? Will the buyer say "It has the WOW factor", "nice house", or "nothing special, it was the same as the others in the area"

Already on the market for sale?
If you have already presented your home for sale, don't worry, it is never too late to stage a home. It is better to stage before your property remains on the market for an extended time, which may give the impression that it is "difficult to sell", leading you into the price reduction game.
Your home only gets one chance to make a first impression on the market. Home Staging ensures the best first impression. Read more about our staging services
