What if you got 10% more for selling your home?
HSR Certified Professionals improve your property value!
Although professional staging is a relatively new industry, people have been "fixing up" their homes to sell for decades. In the age of HGTV and home improvement television, potential buyers now expect to walk into a home that has been tastefully decorated, and are often willing to pay much more for a well staged property.
Staging & Design F.A.Q.
What is Professional Staging?
HSR certified professionals specialize in design and have been highly trained in the art of home staging. A professional home stager has the resources to transform a home into a product and highlight its assets while downplaying its flaws. Home sellers cannot view their home this objectively, and many Realtors do not have the time or training to provide this service.
What are the costs?
Our $200 starter service gets you a detailed checklist on how to stage every room, complete with photo examples. You will receive a live staging demonstration to show you how things should look. If you need more hands on staging, try our $400 package, where we roll up our sleeves and tackle the main rooms to beautify your home! Our ultimate full home makeover is $700, which more than pays for itself when your home sells for 10% higher or more!
If the housing market is good, why do I need to stage?
Even if your house sells fast in a good market, it doesn’t mean that you got the highest amount possible. Homes that have been redesigned by HSR Certified professionals sell on a conservative average for 10%+ more in a good market. See the Latest Home Staging Statistics for yourself!
Why can't I just stage my own home?
Home sellers usually have a hard time successfully staging their own home. Why? Because our homes are like our children, and we don’t always see their flaws. We’ve gotten used to the looks and feel, and it can even be emotionally difficult to change things! If you can’t view something objectively, then you are unable to market and package it effectively. On top of this, home sellers don't "stage" homes everyday for a living. That’s why HSR Certified professionals are your key to the greatest return on your home investment.
WON'T home buyers USE IMAGINATION TO LOOK PAST MY DECOR?
Most buyers are unable to visualize a home to it's fullest potential if it is poorly staged or vacant. The exception are flippers or investors and will likely hammer you for a low price. This is also why having a vacant home professionally staged is so important. Furniture and clever design will give buyers a frame of reference, and helps them see a size, scale and purpose to each room. This helps build excitement about your property's potential, and ultimately helps your bottom line!
