Many buyers find it difficult to picture how an empty house can look furnished. Staging brings a potential buyer closer to a final vision of what their furniture could look like in the house. This helps the buyer connect with the house sooner and can make it easier to secure a sale.

As a seller, you have a lot of competition. You can bet that would-be home buyers have seen other houses before visiting yours, and that they’ll see more when they leave. Staging can make all the difference in the world, even if your home is priced the same as comparable properties that are for sale. You are giving the appearance of a better value which is the key to selling anything.

Many home buyers start their searches online, which means the first impression they get of your home is the posted pictures of it. If people don’t like what they see online, there’s a good chance they’ll pass on seeing it in person. If there’s more than one home for sale in your neighbourhood staging can also help your home stand out from your neighbours.
