Why Stage?
Presentation
Our staged properties are designed to show like high end hotels as we believe a warm yet impersonal setting leaves room for buyers to envision their families living in the space.
Most home buyers form an opinion about a house within the first 7-10 seconds of arriving. You can be certain of the positive impact when your home is staged well.
Statistics
According to a 'Zillow Digs' survey, hiring a professional Home Stager is listed as one of the top two critical improvements in which a seller should invest.
Over 90% of buyers shop for homes online- it's important for you to make a strong first impression with great photos.
According to the National Association of Realtors, the average staging investment is 1% of a home's asking price which generates a return of 8-10%.
