When it comes to selling a home, first impressions can make or break the sale. The right staging can add that wow factor that differentiates your home from those that sit on the market. To help ensure a speedy home sale, here are three key reasons to have your home professionally staged.

Selling a Home? 3 Reasons to Have Your Home Professionally Staged

1. Stand Out From Online Competition

You may think that selling a home starts with an open house, but it actually starts when prospective buyers find your home online. In an age where online search reigns supreme and online home inspiration boards abound, differentiate your property online. Having your home professionally staged means that it will look magazine-worthy down to the last detail. The clean, polished photographs taken after the staging are going to serve as your home’s calling card, opening the door to eager buyers.

2. Maximize Your Square Footage

After location, square footage is one of the biggest factors prospective buyers will consider. The more you can maximize your existing space without the need for costly home additions, the better. A professional stager is proficient at giving each room the most mileage possible. With a well-developed understanding of traffic flow, the ability to flawlessly arrange furniture, and a keen eye for spatial relationships, they’ll ensure that each room appears open, spacious, and clutter-free.

3. Improve the Return on Your Investment

As one of your largest personal investments, the goal is to make the best possible return on your home sale. Professional staging can translate into a higher home sale, maximizing your investment. In fact, a staged home will sell for 17% more on average than a non-staged one.
