“HOME STAGING is the act of preparing a private residence prior to going up for sale in the real estate marketplace.  The goal of staging is to sell the home quickly and for the most money possible by attracting the highest amount of potential buyers.  Staging focuses on improving a property to make it appeal to the largest number of buyers by transforming it into a welcoming, appealing, and attractive product for sale.  Staging often raises the value of a property by way of reducing the home’s flaws, depersonalizing, de-cluttering, cleaning, improving condition items, and landscaping.  For vacant homes, rental furniture is used to create a living space the buyer can “see” themselves living in.  Properly executed staging leads the eye to attractive features while minimizing flaws. “  Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You may know already that Home Staging is a necessary step in selling your home in today’s market.  The importance is equal to the Realtor, Home Inspector, Title and Loan Company.

A buyer knows if they are interested in your home in the first 8 seconds of seeing it, and this is just from the outside, called curb appeal: a term used by all home stagers.  The appearance of the landscape, the walkway and the front door all play an important part in wanting to see your home. Realtors are using the Internet to show their listings, and 95% of all buyers use the Internet to find a home.

Home Staging not only increases the value of your property but also reduces the time your home stays on the market.  Make your home stand out from the competition using Home Staging and market-ready photos.  Contact a Home Stager in your area or contact Diane Concialdi, DC Redesign.  I’ll answer any questions, or refer you to a Home Stager in another area!
