Achieve a fast, profitable sale of your home by hiring a home staging professional

If you're planning to list your home for sale, you want a prompt, trouble-free sale at or over your list price. While achieving this might seem like wishful thinking, it’s actually possible.

Today’s home buyers are increasingly selective, they want updated homes with no rehab hassles. Call it the HGTV effect. Buyers are accustomed to seeing perfectly designed homes just like the reveal on every make-over show. Engaging a home staging professional allows you to present your home in its best light.

Staging your home is the most important step to getting your home market-ready

It’s been said that numbers don’t lie. So, here’s the truth about the power of home staging:

In 2020, a survey of 13,000 homes which were staged for sale revealed that 85 percent of staged homes sold for 5-23 percent over their list price. For those sellers, that represented 5-15 percent over asking price, all while investing only one percent of the listing price of the home in staging costs. Not only did the sellers get more money for their home, they sold their homes on average, in only 23 days on the market. Compare that to the US average of 60 days as reported by Realtor.com.

A professional home stager, like Green Haven Design and Consulting, operates hand-in-hand with your RealtorⓇ to create the look and feel that appeals to the ultimate buyer for your home.

You may not need to stage your entire home, you may choose only to stage the areas which make the most impact, like foyers, kitchens, closets, and living spaces. This is where working with a professional makes a difference. A pro stager knows how to enhance the appearance of your home through artistic design and the selection of ideal pieces which, just like the perfect frame, emphasize a work of art.

It’s love at first sight that persuades buyers

First looks, whether in person or in listing photos, give buyers indelible impressions. However, beyond that, you must accentuate your home's great bones. To accomplish this, your home stager removes bulky furnishings and uses those which fit the space. She boxes away clutter and creates focal points so buyers’ eyes are directed to all the best features of your house.
