Is staging your home worth it?

In these days of housing shortages and eager buyers, does staging even matter? Yes!!!

Below are examples of people who moved out of their homes prior to listing this year and had their homes professionally staged by Rooms with Style and A Home Revival.

They all accepted an offer after the first weekend on the market. Many received an offer the very first day, but waited until after the weekend to review multiple offers. They all accepted offers for more than list price.

Why does staging make such a difference? Because people search online and the photos are critical in determining which homes they will visit… staged homes are much more appealing than empty homes. And because people buy with their hearts… you want them to fall in love with your home as soon as they enter!

Can’t move out before you list your home for sale? No worries, they will also help you stage your home with your own furnishings, such as the home below… and that consultation is part of my fee so at no cost to you.
