STAGING FAQ'S...
How can I
benefit from Home Staging?
In today's
competitive real estate market, you must make a stunning
first impression with buyers because your first impression
may be your last. Victoria Staging & ReDesign will optimize
your home's appeal so buyers can actually see themselves
living in and owning the home. By creating that emotional
connection, you will have a significant advantage over other
homes in the market. Staged homes will sell 6% to 7% higher
and faster than non-staged homes.
Can I
afford to hire a Professional Home Stager?
Hiring a
professional stager can get you a 200-300% return on
investment. If you want to avoid the stress of having your
property sit on the market for months, if you want to avoid
the hassle of endless showings, or the loss in profits from
price reductions, then you can’t afford not to hire a
Professional Home Stager. The results will be worth every
penny spent.
Doesn’t a
vacant home look more appealing than a staged home?
Vacant
homes sell much slower than staged homes due to the fact
that only a mere 10% of home buyers can actually visualize
the potential of a home. Since most buyers cannot visualize
size and scale, the furniture helps to give them a frame of
reference. This is why having a vacant home professionally
staged is so important. Staged homes sell for more and in
half the time than homes that are not staged. It's a common
misconception that vacant homes appear larger to
buyers than
staged homes. Proper placement of furnishings will actually
help a room appear larger and more spacious. At Victoria
Staging & ReDesign we know how to draw the buyer’s eye where
we want; we will accentuate the best features of the home
while minimizing any negative.
How can
you stage a home if the sellers are living in it?
Victoria
Staging & ReDesign will work with the seller's existing
furnishings to redesign rooms for optimum appeal. We pay
close attention to the proper balance, function, and scale
in each room. Proper furniture placement and the use of
home accessories will draw the buyer's eye towards the
positive features in the home. We will assist you in
looking at your home through a buyer's eye. We also provide
you with after photo’s for your reference to quickly put the
house together before a showing.
Why can't I
just stage my own home?
Home
sellers are usually incapable of successfully staging their
own home. Why? Because our homes are like our children, we
don't always see them as others do. We've gotten used to
the way it looks and in fact it is difficult emotionally to
change it. If you can't view something objectively then you
are unable to market and package it effectively. We look
at the home as a whole and not just room by room. Most
sellers don't "stage" homes everyday, we do.
