Home Staging: What you need to know?

Home Staging: What you need to know?

Thinking of putting your house on the market?

Great! But before you take those listing photos, let’s talk about home staging – preparing your home for sale or rent for potential buyers or tenants.

Hold on, home staging? Isn’t that just something fancy people on HGTV do?

Well, yes and no.

While those shows might make it seem like you need a team of design ninjas to stage your home, it’s actually about creating a space that appeals to the MASSES.

Let’s be honest, your collection of My Little Pony figurines from the 90s might be beautiful to you, but it’s not exactly screaming “move-in ready” to potential buyers or tenants.

Here’s why home staging is your secret weapon, besides that questionable price reduction strategy you were considering:

Speed is key: Sell faster, Celebrate sooner

Most people don’t want their house sitting on the market forever. 

Staging can help it sell faster, which means less time stressing and more time celebrating.

Sell faster…and for MORE.

There was a study conducted in 2019 by Home Staging Association of the United Kingdom & Ireland that you can increase your selling price up to 10%!

But what’s 10%?

Imagine you’re selling your house for 300.000€.

With home staging you can sell it for 330.00€.

That’s 30.000€ extra in your POCKET!

Let’s think of some ways to spend that extra home staging cash:

A New car?

A family vacation?

Save it? Always a responsible choice.

The possibilities are endless.

First impressions.

First impressions are like online dating profiles – you only get ONE shot. 

Buyers make snap judgments, and a staged home makes a GREAT first impression, and that can put you ahead of all other market participants.

But is it worth it?

Absolutely! This is one of the best methods to keep your house from depreciating overtime.
The cost of staging could be way less than a price reduction if your house sits on the market for months gathering dust.

But how can you get started?

Step 1: De-Clutter. 

Your house must look clean and roomy. Think clean lines, open spaces, and enough room for potential buyers to imagine their own stuff.

Step 2: Borrow Brilliance or Furniture.

Borrow furniture from a friend. They might have some spare furniture that can add a touch of class to your house.

Speaking of touches, let’s talk about the cozy factor.

Throw pillows! Fresh flowers! Just don’t go overboard with the floral arrangements 🙂

Pro Tip: Four pillows is a good number.

More pillows might not equal more comfort, but they will definitely equal more laundry.


Look, we get it…

Maybe you’re short on time, or maybe you don’t know the best way to take pictures and put all the new furniture.
