Unlock The Power Of DIY Staging
Maximize Your Home's Sale Potential
THE HOUSE IS GOING UP FOR SALE
Whether you’ve decided to move to a larger home, downsize, or take up a new position across the country or overseas, the house must be sold.
If you are like most people you are dreading the next few weeks or months. There will be so much work to do on top of your regular schedule.
Where to start? What to do? What to keep? What to let go? How will the kids feel? How quickly will you sell and for how much?
Depending on current market conditions it may be easy or difficult. It all depends.
You also know that you can help the situation by making sure your house looks perfect for a buyer.
So, how can you do this with the least amount of upheaval and heavy emotions? How can you get it all done with the time you have available?!
Some people decide to talk to their realtor and hire a professional stager. Others are more budget-conscious and private and therefore decide to do it themselves.
If you fall in the last group, Dancing Zebras Studio’s blog posts help you by showing you the staging process step by step, with information about where to start, how to follow through, and what to do next, until you’ve reached that “Ahhhhh” moment and you’re done: ready for the market.
I show you from start to finish what to do, in what order, how to style, where to place furniture to create space, and so much more.
WHERE DID STAGING COME FROM?
Back in 1997, Meredith Baer found herself without a home and at a loss for what to do with her personal belongings and 250 plants. One of her friends was selling her house that had been on the market for 143 days when Mereditch had to move. She asked her friend if she could put some of her furniture in her home and within a few days it sold! Meredith knew she was onto something.
Since that time the practice of staging has grown and has become a firm part of the home selling process. And Meredith? She became a wildly successful stager with celebrities for clients.
Statistics show that on average 73% of staged homes sell faster than unstaged ones. In addition, 85% of homes sell over the asking price by 1-20%.
Even in today’s market where it can frequently happen that a house sells above the asking price, a staged home will fetch a higher margin than a non-staged one.
All good reasons to stage your property to the best of your ability.
