Staging FAQ's...
WHY
HAVEN’T I EVER HEARD OF HOME STAGING?
Home
staging is relatively new in the Grand Rapids and Forest
Hills area. While home decorators are abundant, home
stagers are different. Home decorators work to satisfy the
taste of one client, while Ultimate Staging and Décor works
to satisfy the taste of the home-buying public for a faster
sale at a higher price.
DOES
IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE WHETHER MY HOUSE IS ALREADY ON THE
MARKET OR NOT BEFORE I HAVE MY HOME STAGED?
It is
better, if possible, to prepare your house for sale
before marketing it. You don’t want to lose those
first potential buyers! Otherwise, stage your home before an
open house so new or returning prospects will see it at its
very best. And definitely stage your house before you
consider a price reduction.
WHY
CAN’T I JUST STAGE MY HOUSE MYSELF?
A
homeowner is usually unable to stage because they are
emotionally attached to the home or have lived there so long
they “can’t see the forest for the trees”.
You need expert and objective
home staging guidance in order to compete in a buyers
market. Home staging is not a decorating
exercise; it is a MARKETING exercise.
CAN’T
MY REALTOR JUST GIVE ME A FEW TIPS?
Your
realtor is much too busy finding prospective buyers and
doing a myriad of other things necessary to sell your home.
A realtor may not have the time, resources or expertise to
properly stage your home.
