However, there are sellers who are hesitant and still need convincing that home staging \u2013 whether occupied or vacant \u2013\u00a0 is a worthwhile investment, even in a hot market. Several key points can help overcome sellers\u2019 uncertainty and assure them that staging before listing is a win-win decision.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>1. Basic updates boost perceived value<\/strong><br \/>\nToday\u2019s buyers are looking for an updated home in move-in ready condition and will usually pay more if they feel good about it. Simple updates such as freshly painted walls in universally appealing neutral colors, modern lighting, and polished hardwood floors make an immediate statement online and in person and will ultimately yield a quicker sale for top dollar.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>2. Helps buyers connect<\/strong><br \/>\nSome buyers can be turned off by the cold feeling of an empty room or distracted by dated furnishings that suggest the home is old and neglected. According to the Real Estate Staging Association, a vacant property can take up to 78 percent more time to sell than comparable furnished homes. And with 95 percent of vacant or occupied staged homes selling in 11 days or less, there is no question that adding inviting style with modern furnishings helps buyers envision living in a space and get a better idea how a room can be used to fit their lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>3. Enhances key features<\/strong><br \/>\nBuyers who can\u2019t look passed dated carpeting or clutter that hides key features will most likely walk away immediately. Choosing a neutral palette with the right furniture arrangement and simple, elegant accents will allow architectural features to become a focal point, increase the perceived size of rooms and improve overall flow and ultimately make the property more memorable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>4. Bedrooms are valuable real estate<\/strong><br \/>\nEvery decision that is made when marketing a home to sell should focus on the targeted buyer\u2019s lifestyle and needs. An experienced stager will provide recommendations for what style furnishings and d\u00e9cor will be appropriate based on the demographics you want to attract to the property. For example, an extra bedroom that is now serving as an office, hobby room, or gym should be converted back into a bedroom to appeal to millennials with young kids (see photo above).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>5. Less stress<\/strong><br \/>\nA professional stager will eliminate stress by making the home selling process turnkey for clients. They will manage the entire process to make a property market-ready \u2014 from paint color selection, lighting updates, window treatments, floor refinishing, furniture rentals to packing and organizing services. They will do whatever it takes to appeal to as many buyers as possible and get the property sold quickly and for top dollar.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/styledstagedsold.blogs.realtor.org\/2017\/06\/05\/key-points-for-education-sellers-that-home-staging-pays-off\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Educate Sellers How Home Staging Pays Off<\/a> by Patti Stern | Realtor.org<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This spring has been one of our busiest home staging seasons with many sellers enjoying the benefits of preparing their homes early and marketing to targeted buyers \u2013 boosting the &hellip;
