You may be tempted to do it yourself in order to save a little. Hiring a pro can increase what you can make on your sales price by tens of thousands of dollars. It can also cost you that if you don’t.
Home staging always costs less than your first price reduction. Those are usually about 10k each time. That can add up to some substantial losses if your “home staging” is not up to par.
And how can it be, if you are not a pro. After all, you are probably a nurse, or accountant or IT person or whatever your profession is. Do you think someone with no training or education could walk into your workplace and do your job as good as you could?
This is all excellent advice for anyone looking to sell their home quickly and for top dollar. You made so many good points!
Thank you so much!
Your questions are a great way for people to assess whether they need to hire a home stager. So many people could benefit from asking themselves these questions. It definitely points up how valuable professional help can be.
Thank you Lisa!
You always provide such clear advice on why home staging is a good investment, Mary Ann. Thank you!
Thanks for reading!!
YEEEEEESSSS! You don’t know what you don’t know. Always always always invest in the best advice you can get. It will more than pay for itself in a higher price than you would have otherwise gotten regardless of whether the market is hot or cold.
Haha, thank you! Staging in a hot market can start a bidding war and get you even more!
That ever-popular ‘you only get one chance to make the first impression’ will never go away when selling a home. You have provided so many great tips for why hiring an outside ‘eye’ is truly important.
That fresh objective look is priceless, especially when it comes with professional advice on what to do about it. Thank you!
Always worth it to hire a pro!!! Worth every penny!
Yes it is! Thanks for reading!
I really appreciate how you have broken it down into things the homeowner can do and things they really shouldn’t do. Hiring a pro to make your house look it’s best when selling really is a no-brainer!
Thank you! It is all about the home seller getting the most for their home sale. I hope letting people know what is really worth their time and money to do or not to do will help them!
Yes it is! Thanks for reading!
