HOUSTON – If you’re planning on selling your home, one of the very best things you can do to make sure that you sell your home for the most money, and in the shortest amount of time possible, is to stage your home before you list it for sale.

Although some people might be “on the fence” about staging, and want to sell their homes “as is”, staging is still a vital part of the home sales process especially for these reasons:

Reason 1 – Staging Presents Your Home as a Product

Yes, staging will help your agent to present your home as a “product” for sale because, it involves removing the personalization which you may have accumulated over the years,

Once the personalization is gone, this will help a prospective home buyer to see your home as their dream home and envision themselves living there.

Reason 2 – Staging Will Remove the Clutter from Your Home

Let’s face it, every homeowner accumulates a bit of clutter over the years that they live in their home right?

Staging is also effective since it will help you to finally deal with that clutter, and present more useable space to a home buyer who would be interested in living in your home.

Reason 3 – Staging Gives You the Advantage Over Other Homeowner

Last of all, but most important, staging will give you the advantage over other homeowners in the area who are thinking about selling their homes “as is”.

Recent studies, including one from the National Association of Exclusive Buyers Agent’s, show us that over 80 percent of buyers will fall for a staged home, and want to purchase it, compared to a home that’s not been staged.
