Getting Ready to Stage and Sell Your Home

All the world’s a stage, that’s what Shakespeare said. You know what I say? I say, all the home’s a stage! Hey, ya gotta love the English language… it’s the only place where one word can hold two entirely different meanings.

Or does it? Because when you think of setting the stage, you think of setting a mood, a theme, a tone, and an arrangement of elements by which the cast and crew can easily and swiftly navigate… that is a performance stage… a place on which to perform… the place a performer acts upon so that an audience may observe and applaud that performance.

This is the applied use of a stage in the arts… and staging a home takes its inspiration from the arts. It’s a creative exercise in form and function, practicality and expression, a place to showcase beauty and wonder, creativity and comfort

Home staging can pay off big time for sellers. A 2020 survey by the Real Estate Staging Association showed that 75% of sellers who invested 1% of their list price into staging saw a return of 5% to 15% over asking price.

Not all sellers are receptive at first, but if the home doesn’t sell because it’s missing that “oomph,” home staging always seems to turn it around. You can do large-scale home staging or small-scale What matters is that you do some degree of staging. If you do, you’re more likely to quickly sell for top dollar.

When you see before-and-after photos of spaces not staged versus staged, it’s easy to quickly become a believer in home staging!
