STAGING FAQ'S...
What
does a Stager do that I can’t do on my own?
Sellers
look at their Home as the Holder of their Memories. Buyers
don’t see those memories. They need to see themselves living
in the space. You need an objective eye to help you
organize, freshen and neutralize your house. That is where
Ct Realty Staging comes in. We give an objective appraisal
of what needs to be done in order to sell your house.
Remember, where you live is your home, but when you decide
to sell that house becomes your investment.
I don’t
think I need to Stage to Sell my home…
Yes, you
may be right. But for one moment, think about this.
Professionally staged homes sell on an average for 8%+ more.
If your home sold for $400K without the help of a stager, it
probably would have sold for $434K staged. And who doesn’t
want to make more on your investment…
Why do I
need a Home Stager to help me clean my house?
Home
staging is more than just cleaning your house. Staging is
the art of being objective, organized and have the passion
to see the best in a home. Home sellers are usually
incapable of successfully staging their own home. Why?
Because our home is like our child, we don’t always see all
of their flaws. You are can’t market and package it
effectively. Not to mention most home sellers don't "stage"
homes everyday. Putting the house’s “best foot forward” is
what Staging is all about.
Why
would Buyers care if the house is perfect? Can’t they just
imagine what their stuff would look like in my home?
Just
imagine for a second, you are visiting a friend who doesn’t
share your level of housekeeping. Walking in, you notice the
pile of magazines in the corner of the living room, the
dirty windows and the children’s toys. Did you see the
beautiful fireplace, or feel welcomed by seating arrangement
in front of it? Did you remember the size of the room, the
beautiful view or archway to the dining room? I bet you
didn’t.
Staging
doesn’t just tidy up a room. We evaluate each room of the
house, defining the positive and negative aspects of each
space. By accenting the positive features of each room, like
that fireplace in your friend’s home and down playing the
negatives, showing the house in its best possible light.
Making a house perfect isn’t the objective.
You have
less than 5 minutes to make a lasting first impression with
your buyers. Those perspective owners will stay in your home
approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Let CT Realty Staging make
that short visit a “Wow, I’d love to live here. I can see
myself entertaining in this room” instead of “Ok, what else
can you show me in this neighborhood?” By not
staging your home, you are helping other listings in your
area sell faster than yours.
