Home Staging FAQs

Premiere Home Stagers periodically receive questions regarding home staging. Some of our most frequently asked questions (FAQs) are:

What is Home Staging?

Home Staging is transforming your house from a home to a commodity. It needs to appeal to any person who walks through your door. You have enough to think about when selling your house. One of the most effective ways to give a home a competitive edge is to invest in professional home staging. It’s less expensive than you think and definitely less expensive than your first price reduction.

Is Staging expensive?

Anything you spend for professional staging services should net you thousands in return, plus a quicker sale, based upon statistical data.

Why can’t I just stage my own home?

Home sellers have difficulty successfully staging their own home. Why? Because they don’t always see all of its flaws. They’ve gotten used to the way it looks and it is difficult emotionally to change it. If they can’t view something objectively, then they are unable to market and package it effectively. Since most home sellers don’t “stage” homes everyday, the idea that they can expertly transform their own home is a bit mythical. That’s what professionals are for and that is where the greatest returns come in.

The Housing Market has Improved, Do I Really Need My House Staged?

Every house will sell…it’s a matter of when and for how much. Even if your house sells quickly in a good market, it doesn’t mean it sold for the amount it would have sold for had it been professionally staged. Remember, professionally staged homes sell for more in less time.

Can’t homebuyers use their imagination and look past the décor?

Only 10% of homebuyers can actually visualize the potential of a home. This is why having a vacant home professionally staged is so important. Buyers cannot visualize size and scale, so furniture helps to give them a frame of reference.
