Home Staging Mn

With the popularity of today's home staging shows, many people think they know everything about the principles of home staging. Unfortunately, there are many well-meaning owners who have been misinformed. Without Mentos and Coke, the myths about the staging is to get busted!

MYTH: I could stage my own home.
FACT: It is very difficult for homeowners to review their own home objectively. Living in a house, you get used to the sights, sounds and smells of their environment. Ask a professional stager to evaluate your home you will get a taste of what buyers will focus on (the good, the bad and the ugly).

Although the public has been trained in home staging an hour of television and an increment of Lisa LaPorta, it does not mean they know how to stage a house. It is much more that goes into preparing a house for sale what is shown on television.

MYTH: The cost of home staging too.
FACT: Home staging is cost, but it also pays! The average cost of a development project complete scene is usually much less than your first price reduction. Statistically, homes that have been properly prepared for the market Before selling a price reduction is necessary. Can we do better? Yes, it is possible ... average rate of return for a staging project is about 120%, meaning that if you invest $ 1,000 in staging, you can receive $ 1,200 back when your house is sold. There will be the staging costs, but it costs more not to the stage! (The statistics quoted by www.stagedhomes.com, with permission).

MYTH: A decorated house is a house staging.
FACT: Decoration and staging are almost complete opposites. Decorating is to bring the tastes of the owner of the existing house and the styles in the house, making it personal. Staging is to take personality out of the house, if the decor is neutral and using the largest amount of buyers. Stagers help you and your real estate agent market your home as a product using the staging, design and marketing principles.

MYTH: I'll save time if I list my first house, then it is so stage does not sell.
FACT: In fact, it is better to have your house staged first, then have listed. Think about the importance of first impressions. The biggest buzz around a house is generated when the first list. Referring again to the building statistics, homes that were staged first, then the list to sell faster than homes that, when first, then staged. The results do not lie.

MYTH: Home Staging is just one way of real estate.
REALITY: Although new to the circuit television, home staging has actually been around since the 1970s. In some parts of the country, it is also common for open houses. The central states are beginning to recognize the value of a home staging, not because it is fashionable, but because it works!

In this slow real estate market, staging your home is the smartest decision you can do to prepare your home for sale.

There is a popular saying in the real estate industry: "The worst thing you can do when you sell your house is ... nothing." The sit-back-and-see-what-happens through selling a house is long gone. Be proactive in marketing your home, stage your home!
