Can an Occupied Home be Staged to Sell?
Yes, absolutely!
e-Staging Consultation
Our e-Staging Consultation will make your home “Picture Perfect” so you can sell it for the best price!
After a virtual walk through of your rooms, we will discuss strengths and weaknesses of the property as well as suggestions and recommendations you will need to prepare your home for sale. We will assess everything from furniture placement in the home to ideas for small repairs or new paint.
Armed with these recommendations, homeowners may decide to do the work themselves or hire the help of professionals for cleaning, packers, and/or handymen needed to get the work done.
Allowing a third party with a trained eye to offer feedback on a home, before prospective buyers have the opportunity to rule it out based upon first impressions, can save time as well as money.
· We start with a virtual walk-through of each room you want stage
· We provide suggestions and recommendations to make your home shine
· You will hire the work out or do the work yourself
Defining Home Staging
Home Staging is professionally preparing homes for sale, so that they appeal to the most buyers and generate the highest price in the least amount of time on the market. Staged Homes traditionally present themselves better than the competition by being clean, clutter-free and ready to show to prospective buyers.
Home Staging is NOT decorating, fluffing, interior design or redesign. Instead, Home Staging is detailing, de-cluttering, depersonalizing and preparing a seller’s home to give it a “model home” appearance so that the potential buyer can “see” themselves living in the home.
Why Stage?
Home Staging is preparing homes for sale to:
· Appeal to the greatest number of buyers
· Generate the highest price over the competition
· Get it sold quickly
· Save money by reducing carrying costs, mortgage payments and price decreases (reductions)
In today’s market, there are three things that sell a home:
· Location
· Price
· Condition
Although you are not able to do anything about the location of your home, there is a lot you can do about the price and condition.
By utilizing Strategic Pro Staging (ASP®) in your marketing plan, you can stand out above the rest by creating an emotional tie to your property that buyers can’t resist.

Why should I stage my home and what are the benefits?
Your home is one of the biggest investments you will have in your life. Yet, many homeowners will accept price decreases and low offers as standard in the real estate industry to get the home sold. Would you take out your checkbook and willingly write a check for $10,000-20,000? This is essentially what happens to your equity when price decreases and lower offers come. Wouldn’t you want to do what you can to save your equity?
