My house isn’t worth being “professionally staged”…
Even spending a mere $500 for an initial consultation should net you thousands in return
and speed of sale based upon statistical data. In the previous statistics, unless the
house is under 50K this argument is invalid.
The housing market is good and my house doesn’t need to be staged to sell…
You’re right. 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
on a conservative average for 6%+ more*. If your home sold for 400K unstaged it
probably would have sold for 425K staged.
Why can’t I just stage my own home?
Home sellers are usually incapable of successfully staging their own home. Why? Because
our homes are like our children, we don’t always see all of its flaws. We’ve gotten used
to the way it looks and in fact it is difficult emotionally to change it. If you can’t view
something objectively then you are unable to market and package it effectively. Not to
mention most home sellers don't "stage" homes everyday so the idea that they can
expertly transform their own home is a bit silly. That’s what professionals are for and
that is where the greatest returns come in. *Set the stage to sell your home today, Get the

Can’t home buyers use their imagination and look past the décor?
Only a mere 10% of home buyers 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.
Will I be pressured into spending a lot of money on services, furniture, etc.?
The idea of home staging is to transform your house into a "product" that appeals to
more people, sells quickly and for top dollar! My goal is to provide this transformation as
economically as possible. Staged To Sell will do as much or as little as you want...you
decide! We use the homeowners furniture and accessories by rearranging, redesigning
and reinventing! Only when absolutely necessary do we recommend rental furniture or
purchasing new accessories. If any accessory purchases are recommended, it will be
with the intention of using the new items at your new home once the staged property is
sold. For those on a budget or those who prefer to do the work themselves, a
Consultation and Home Staging Plan will provide all the information needed in order to
Stage To Sell yourself!
I live in an area where houses sell very quickly. Would I still benefit from having my
home Staged?
Yes! You may even benefit more! Home Staging when the real estate market is hot
makes your home even MORE desirable! Buyers will pay full asking price for a home that
is lack-luster...just imagine what they will pay for a house that has been staged!
When should I Stage my home?
If you're planning to sell your house, NOW is the time to have it Staged To Sell! It can
take several weekends for many homeowners to get their property in tip-top shape.
However, If your house is already on the market and has had little or no interest from
potential buyers, NOW is the time to have it staged! Many homes that have been on the
market for 3 months to one year with no offers have sold in less than one week after
being staged.
Why should I Stage my home? It's been carefully maintained and decorated!
When your house is on the market, it is vital that it is appealing to a large audience. We
don't want potential buyers concentrating on your personal style of decorating, which
they may or may not like! We want them to concentrate on a spacious and well
maintained home that they can see themselves living in!
Is Staging really worth the investment?
YES! In fact, we can provide Staging statistics that show you Staged homes sell more
quickly and for more money. Showing a Staged home is much easier and less stressful
for the homeowner and the Realtor! In addition, when it comes time to move, the
organizing and packing have already begun so it is a much smoother process.
Remember...the Investment in Home Staging will always be considerably less than your
first price reduction!
How will I be able to live in my Staged home while it is on the market?
We're certain that you will absolutely love your new living environment! We will take
photos of the Staged rooms and leave them with you so that you have a quick and easy
reference when it comes time to prepare for showings. You probably won't have to live
for long in your Staged To Sell home, though! Staged To Sell homes typically sell quickly,
but regardless of the amount of time, we will make your space very pleasant, livable and
functional!
