Staging is the process by which a home is visually prepared to be put on the market that is proven to make it sell faster and at a higher price than the comparable homes in your neighborhood. With so many homes on the market right now, this is a way to give your property an advantage over the competition without lowering the price. Staging can transform humdrum rooms into showcase interiors, and create an atmosphere of spaciousness and hominess that can add to the final sales price as surely as a big lot and a nice view. For the realtor, it is a great way to jump-start a new listing or to re-energize a tired one. For the homeowner, it maximizes financial return and minimizes selling time.
