We are your guide in executing essential updates and thoughtful enhancements to showcase your home's full potential Once perfected, we partner with leading design experts to craft a tailored staging strategy that highlights its best features and captivates buyers
WHY STAGING MATTERS:
Whether your home is furnished or vacant, fine tuning the presentation through staging is nearly always recommended. Through skillful staging, we address objections, highlight your home's distinctive focal points and features, and create an environment that allows potential buyers to envision themselves in the property, fostering a deeper connection and increasing its overall desirability. In today's digital era, where 90% of buyers kick off their home search online (Cite: National Association of Realtors), staging is one of the most critical pieces in creating a positive impression. Noteworthy fact: According to the International Association of Home Staging Professionals, staged homes sell for 17% more on average compared to non-staged properties and spend 40% less time on the market
FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
In today’s competitive market, capturing a buyer’s attention immediately is essential Research shows that buyers form an opinion about a property in just 7-10 seconds, often based on online photos or their first view of the home With 97% of buyers starting their search online, capturing their attention immediately is crucial A home that stands out with eye-catching presentation is more likely to attract showings, create competition, and ultimately sell faster and for top dollar
STRATEGIC PRICING
