Staging and Organizing

HOME STAGING

Staging is not interior design but rather depersonalizing a home to make it more attractive to a wider range of buyers. Since the "buyer's perspective" becomes the "seller's reality", the ASP recommendations are tailored for potential buyers. We offer a professional analysis of changes to consider for showing your home and broadening its appeal to buyers. Many realtors consider staging an investment in your equity rather than an expense.

94.6% of staged homes are on the market for 33 days compared to 196+ days for non-staged homes.
The cost of staging your property will never cost as much as your first price reduction, which is typically 10-20%.
Staged homes look better than competing homes, sell faster than competing homes and sell for more money.
Agents working with buyers recognize staged homes as superior properties that are "ready-to-show" and that are in "move-in" condition for their clients.
Buyers and home inspectors view staged homes as homes that are well maintained and cared for.
In California, state law requires realtors to educate their clients on the benefits of staging their homes for sale, and it is part of the listing agreement between realtors and sellers.
