STAGING FAQ'S...
How does professional home staging help to sell my house in
Houston?
People buy with emotion. Buyers can’t look past
unorganized rooms, clutter, or furnishings that don’t match
their taste-OR visualize how to arrange furniture in a
vacant house! Real estate staging neutralizes the décor so
that the home appeals to many buyers. Professional house
staging uses “emotional connect point” techniques so that
buyers do not have to use their own imaginations, but can
immediately feel at home.
Will I
have to buy new furnishings?
The stager or redesigner will use items from the home, but
may have recommendations for a few small purchases such as
new bedding, towels, small artwork or greenery from
affordable retailers. Shopping services are offered if
needed, and any new items stay with the homeowner to be used
at the next house. The decision is always up to YOU.
Will I
have to repaint or do other home improvements?
A proposal will be provided which will prioritize suggested
improvements, so that YOU can decide where and how to spend
your budgeted dollars. The goal is minimal expense.
Should I
hire a stager only if my home has difficulty selling?
The first impression is the key factor in selling any
home in any price range! Buyers get excited when they see a
new property go onto the internet or a sign go up in the
yard, so the BEST time to stage is before listing the home
and taking those photos. However, if the house is not
selling- ACT QUICKLY to get the home staged before it sits
on the market any longer! New internet photos can always be
submitted after house staging. Use home staging before
reducing the price!
What
about
vacant house staging?
A cost plan will be provided with recommendations, including
renting some furnishings from a furniture rental company. It
does not take a house full of decorations to make the buyer
feel at home, just some key staging items.
