Home staging sets the scene throughout your house to create buyer interest. Statistics show that a well-staged home will sell 30 percent faster and for a total purchase price of 3-10 percent more than a home that is not staged. Two things sell residential real estate: price and presentation. Effective presentation can mean the difference between selling and not selling your home. Why? Buyers are enticed by their emotions. A buyer will know within the first 10 seconds whether or not he or she is interested. Emotion is key to a buyer's decision and effective staging is the key to emotion.
