Home Staging Myth Busters

Some people try and Stage their homes by themselves.  Here are some Myth Busters about Home Staging.....

Myth 1:  I Can Just Watch One of Those TV Shows.........The shows on HGTV and similar channels give Sellers the idea that they need to do something to their house to prepare it for sale, but often Sellers cannot truly be objective in a house they have been living in and need a 3rd party independent opinion to get it properly Staged.

Myth 2:  Professional Staging Costs Too Much........Staging is an INVESTMENT in getting a house sold and the investment in Staging is always less than a price reduction.  A Certified Stager is trained to work with a Seller's budget and time frame to properly Stage a house.  We often ask our Clients "Can you afford NOT to Stage in today's Market?". 

Myth 3:  All I Need Are Lights, Flowers & Music.......These are great for showing a house, but it is not Staging.  Staging requires an objective and professional assessment of a house's strengths and challenge areas, and solutions to help Buyers fall in love with what they see.  More than lights, flowers and music, this requires an Action Plan.  A Certified Stager can help get a house Staged AND SOLD.
