MISCONCEPTIONS
- IT COSTS TOO MUCH MONEY
- STAGING IS AN INVESTMENT. ACCORDING TO FORBES, IT HAS STATISTICALLY BEEN PROVEN THAT STAGING A HOME WILL INCREASE THE SALE BY 17% AND 95% OF HOMES SELL IN 11 DAYS OR LESS.
- WE CAN’T STAGE A HOME WE’RE LIVING IN
- SELLER WANTS TO TEST THE MARKET FOR 30, 60, 90 DAYS
- AT THIS POINT YOUR REALTOR WILL MOST LIKELY SUGGEST TO LOWER THE LISTING PRICE. YOU CAN’T GET BACK THE 90 DAYS OF BUYERS YOU HAVE LOST. STAGING IS AN IMPORTANT INVESTMENT INTO YOUR HOME PRESENTATION AND MARKETABILITY.
- OUR HOME IS ALREADY PROFESSIONALLY DECORATED
- WE’VE NEVER HAD TO STAGE ANY OTHER PROPERTY WE’VE SOLD IN THE PAST. WHY NOW?
- IN PREVIOUS MARKETS SELLERS COULD GENERATE MULTIPLE OFFERS THE SAME DAY THE PROPERTY WAS LISTED WITHOUT STAGING. IN TODAY’S MARKET BUYERS ARE MOST SELECTIVE AND HAVE MANY OPTIONS TO CHOOSE FROM.
- EVERYONE LOVES OUR HOUSE TO BUYERS WILL TOO!
- WE WOULD RATHER LET THE BUYERS SELECT THEIR PAINT OR FLOORING CHOICES
- WHEN BUYERS EVALUATE THE WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE THEY OFTEN TIMES WILL DOUBLE OR TRIPLE THE COSTS OF THESE CHANGES WHICH WILL ULTIMATELY LOWER THIER OFFER PRICE.
- THE VIEW ALONE WILL SELL THIS PLACE
- WE CAN CLEAN THE CARPETS AND DECLUTTER THIS PLACE WITHOUT SOMEONE TELLING US HOW TO DO IT
- YES, YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN! HOWEVER THIS IS A SMALL PIECE OF STAGING. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH TO REMOVE OR TAKE DOWN? TAKING EVERYTHING DOWN CAN BE FAR WORSE THAN MESSY CLUTTERED SPACES.
- WE HAVE NO DESIRE TO CHANGE/REMOVE OUR FURNITURE, ARTWORK, ACCESSORIES ETC.
- NEITHER DO BUYERS…THIS CAN SEVERELY IMPACT YOUR FINAL SALE PRICE
