THE BENEFITS OF VACANT STAGING

Why Vacant Staging is so Effective

Hello. Kate here, owner Interior Decorating NE.

*One analogy I have made is comparing a vacant home to the frame of a painting. Frames can be opulent, and exquisitely crafted. However, inside the frame is a blank canvas. Buyers want to see the finished work.

Consider this: a gleaming rehabbed project or new construction needs finishing touches. Yes, the property will sell, however, wouldn’t you rather offer more than just a frame, but a completed work that staging provides?

Walking into a vacant home can leave an impression of emptiness and coldness. Yes, buyers can see the gleaming, modern kitchen. They will be wowed by the newly laid flooring and special features.

I am referring to a deeper feeling that may influence their experience. Buyers want to imagine a warm, comfortable environment, filled with family and friends. A professionally staged house, can nudge them to want to make it their home.

*In addition, staging creates a blueprint of room dimensions so the buyer can accurately place furniture and decor.

Typically, buyers have a difficult time envisioning how their belongings will fit in a home. This especially applies to oversized rooms and smaller spaces.

Staging takes the guesswork out of whether their furnishings will fit and save them money by not making costly design mistakes.

*Buying a home is an extremely stressful proposition. Our goal is to alleviate some of this stress by offering design guidelines and inspiration.

*We create the finished product so that buyers can easily envision themselves living in the home. According to NAR statistics, a staged home typically garners increased offers and higher selling price.

Staging can provide the seller with multiple offers  when buyers are drawn in by a finished work of art.

Stagers turn a house into a home. Here are some recent before and after vacant staging results.
