The Impurtance of Home Staging and Photography

Despite the perception that a nice home in a great location sells itself, national statistics have shown that staged homes sell in half the time of non-staged homes and for 5% more money.

Regardless of the cost to stage your home, you can be sure that it is minimal compared to the costs of keeping a house on the market for long periods of time and having to reduce your asking price. Consider staging cost a necessary investment in the sale of your home, which will garner a significant financial return. In a 2009 Home Gain Survey of over 2000 Realtors, it was discovered that home staging typically provides a 586% return on investment.

Bottom Line. If most home buyers are searching for a home online, it will serve you well to ensure your home looks its best both online and in person. Let's face it, if a potential buyer does not like your home's presentation online, how will you ever get them through the front door?

Sandra and I beleive in staging so much that we help pay for a large protion of a stagers fee. This combined with our use of a professional photographer ensures your home looks its best for potential home buyers.
