Home staging and decorating has proven to sell or rent houses in less time and more money.

According to statistics staged homes on average sell 32 percent faster and at a higher price.

Plus, staged homes spend 50 percent less time on the market.

Staging is an investment that will give you higher returns on your money and make your property stand

out in the crowd because it shows well.

You can make your home, whether it is a townhouse a condominium or a single family home, welcoming

and more desirable.

Home buyers or renters make their ultimate home selection based on their emotional reactions to the

properties they visit. Builders who develop residential houses and condominiums are aware of this fact

and create model homes to help them sell their properties. If it didn`t matter they would show them empty.

No home should be shown empty. It makes it look cold and impersonal. The feeling of an empty house

must be eliminated in order to make the house feel like a "home". Furnished rooms look larger and

more spacious than empty ones. This is another reason why new home builders always invest in

furnished models.

Staging works because not everyone has vision. If people walk into a space that is

cluttered they can`t see it for what it truly is- no matter how attractive it may be.

Once your home is on the market it becomes a product that is competing with all other houses

that are for sale in your area.

If you want to receive top dollar offers and sell or rent quickly you should stage your home

before MLS photos are taken and the home is placed on the market.

In conclusion home staging makes a lot of sense especially with the way the market is now.

Remember you never get a 2nd chance to make a 1st impression.
