If you are a homeowner looking to sell your home, you might have people encouraging you to look into staging companies to help prepare your home for the market — but what do staging companies do?
A staging company will, simply put, “set the stage” for your home. The housing market is ever-shifting in ways like price, prime selling time, and selling power. But it is also changing in terms of trends that appeal to prospective buyers. Staging companies have the job of knowing what trends are in right now and how to use them to inform the way that your individual home is styled.
Often, this stage-setting process will include us moving your existing furniture around, buying new furniture to fill out a room, cleaning the space so that it looks its best, and generally tidying up your home so that it looks as appealing to potential buyers as possible.
In many cases, potential buyers can feel underwhelmed or uninspired by a lack of furniture in a prospective home. By staging it with up-to-date furniture meant to appeal to your home’s target buyers, a staging company can help the right buyers start to see themselves in the home you’re trying to sell. This will let them feel at ease and make them more likely to remember the house you’re selling fondly.
Staging companies, in short, take the heavy burden of making your home look marketable off of your shoulders and use their expertise to make your home sell as quickly as possible.
