Home staging is the crucial step needed to help a buyer connect with a listing and visualize themselves living in the home. Staging showcases the house in the best possible light. After all, we never get a second chance to create a great first impression so it is imperative that the house is “dressed to impress.”
 Each and every home presents an opportunity to be staged. Curb appeal is generally only the initial view, but there is so much more needed to create the “wow” factor. In the future, every real estate professional will need to know about staging as it becomes the industry standard homeowners expect from the agent they choose to hire.
According to a recent USA Today article, a major residential brokerage company looked at nearly 2,800 properties in eight different cities and found that staged houses sold in almost half the time the non-staged houses did. They also found that sellers got substantially more money for a staged home.
This is further backed up by a 2003 HomeGain survey of 2,000 real estate agents nationwide that found moderately priced home improvements made before the sale, ranging from $80-$2,800, ended up producing the highest return on investment at the time of the sale when compared to other home improvement projects.
Once you start offering home staging as a service, imagine all the referrals you’ll start getting from clients. Every real estate agent should be equipped with all the necessary skills and tools to educate the seller on how to present their home for a fast sale. Very few buyers will make an offer on a house that doesn’t get them excited.
