Why You Should Stage Your Ann Arbor Home
A staged home sells, on average, 17% higher
than an unstaged home.*
What is Staging? Staging is the art of preparing a home for a sale regardless of its price, condition, or location. It is the most effective way to get the most money for the sale of your home. The buyer is more apt to take interest in your home if it is presented in an orderly and somewhat stylized fashion. Think of selling your home as being on an interview. You wouldn’t go to an interview in everyday clothes. You would get a new suit. Staging is that new suit!

Staged homes have an advantage over non-staged homes. It is quite common for home buyers to make a decision about a home within seconds of viewing. If your home is lacking in curb appeal, buyers might decide to avoid your home altogether. If two homes are competing for a sale in the same area, the staged home will often be the victor. We provide this valuable service to our sellers. Vicki Larmee can visit your home and provide a plan for you to improve its appearance. You can choose to do the work yourself or you can outsource it at an additional cost. One cost cutting option is to rent the furniture to use during staging. Vicki will customize a plan specifically to meet your needs and resources. A 2003 HomeGain survey of 2,000 real estate agents who said for the relatively small expense of cleaning, decluttering, lightening and brightening, and home staging, home sellers realized an average increase in sales price of $5,645 If you would like to get in touch with Vicki in regards to staging your home, click here.

Kathy
Thanks for mentioning the HomeGain survey. The survey was updated in 2007 and is now available on line in the form of a PDF. There is also an online tool that goes with the survey called Home Sale Maximizer that allows you to determine, based on the survey which repairs and improvements will provide the best resale value.
