Sometimes, however, a home seller is unable to make the full investment in home staging. What is the cheapest way to get results that can pay off in a higher sales price when the budget is tight? Here is my advice if you are going to be living in the home while it is on the market.
Get a home staging consultation with a professional stager, follow their advice, do the staging yourself, and have them do a final check-up before taking photos.
Every home, no matter how big or small, regardless of the price range or condition can benefit from a professional consultation.
This is such a great explanation of why it pays to stage a home and I also really liked how you shared what the way to do this is…that would still give value for less money.
Thanks, Mary Ann!
Thanks Leslie! Any house, no matter the price can benefit from a home staging consultation and the return on the investment is great!
I’ve “staged” every house I’ve sold, and it makes a huge difference. In my Phoenix home, we even staged a storage room as a craft room. It was so nice, I thought I should have been using it that way all along.
Thank Jillian! I often get comments from home sellers after staging that if they had only known they could have been living with the house that way all along maybe they wouldn’t have decided to sell!
yes, yes, and yes!! Professional staging absolutely will put money in your pocket! Lite staging does more harm than good and is a complete waste of money, and the suggestion if you can’t afford full staging to get a consultation and pay for a photostyling check-in after you’ve implemented the steps from the consultation, is a brilliant solution!
Thanks! Yes, the consultation for folks on a tight budget can really make a huge difference, if they do the staging themselves. It never looks quite the same as if a pro does the staging but getting that final check up from the pro after they stage it can get it really close:)
Yes to staging all.day.long. Whether it is through a consultation or hiring a professional to do it.
LOL, thank you Sheri for always being such a great fan of home staging. Thank you to you, all. day. long:)
What a difference proper staging can make!
Thanks Carla! It really does make the difference between a great selling price and a price reduction!
Great information and good reasons to hire a professional home stager.
Thanks so much Doreen. It really does make all the difference:)
