As a professional home stager, I frequently receive calls
\nfrom agents and homeowners who are frustrated because their listing has not
\nsold. They believe that since the listing isn’t getting showings or offers, it
\nis now time to bring in a Stager. This is typical because they have made the
\ncommon error of thinking of the value staging expertise is only necessary when
\na home hasn’t sold. In other words, the attitude is, “Let’s try to sell it
\nfirst and if that doesn’t happen, then we will seek the services of a Stager
\nwho can help us.”<\/p>\n
\n
Below I offer five reasons why using professional home
\nstaging services before<\/u> listing is wiser and will impact a sale more
\npositively than waiting until the listing has been on the market a while with
\nfew showings, no offers, or poor feedback.<\/p>\n

\ncritical. Agents are looking at new listings daily and if a buyer has been
\nwaiting for a home like yours to come on the market, their agent is eagerly
\nstalking the new listing “hot sheet” to those present prospective properties to
\nthem. You will have the most number of showings as a new listing. However, after
\na home has been on the market for several weeks, the listing begins to stale
\nand the longer it sits on the market, the less interested buyers become and
\nfewer showings occur. The mentality is that if no contract is made in a short
\nperiod of time, the home is flawed, overpriced, or has other issues that are
\nkeeping it from selling.<\/p>\n
\nby your agent after a home hasn’t had offers for 30-60 days. Staging prepares a
\nhome for its best presentation on the market. Unless a home is grossly
\noverpriced, staging generally allows the home to reflect its competitive list
\nprice by enhancing the features and details of a home and detracting from any
\nnegative issues. If a Stager is brought in following a price reduction, you’ve
\nalready lost the opportunity you would have had to sell at the beginning price
\npoint.<\/p>\n
\nbuyers in the door.<\/b><\/p>\n
\nbuyers are shopping online first. Pinterest\u00ae, Instagram\u00ae, and other social
\nmedia sites have augmented the value of photography to inspire us toward
\npurchasing products and services. Therefore, the photos posted of your home
\nonline will likely be seen by hundreds if not thousands of prospective buyers. The
\nphotography of your home is essential to be inspired that this could be the
\nhome they want to purchase so that they will want to view your property in
\nperson. When you take chances on posting photos of home that has not had the
\nbenefit of a Stager’s input, you may have prospective buyers crossing your home
\noff their list simply because the photos didn’t wow them.<\/p>\n

\ntrained, experienced and knowledgeable about the real estate transaction, a
\ncertified home staging professional provides very specific expertise that is

\nincrease the opportunity for a quicker sale at a higher price, many successful real
\nestate professionals have made staging a critical piece of their listing process.
\nThe most favorable properties on the market are typically homes where a
\nprofessional Stager has been a part of the listing process. To stand tall against
\nyour home’s competition, you too must understand that Staging is no longer an
\noption when listing a home.<\/p>\n
\nStaging before the home goes on the market cannot be overstated. Whether the
\nhome is occupied or vacant, a Professional Stager can assist you in maximizing
\noffer price and minimizing time on market. Don’t make the mistake of waiting
\nuntil the home hasn’t sold to understand that staging is your best tool for a
\nhome’s potential sale.<\/p>\n
