The Lay of the Land
So what exactly should a professional Home Stager be able to do for you? How can you tell who will be the right person for your home? It’s a question I am asked all the time and while I firmly believe that every homeowner should find the person that they communicate well with, and has the experience and expertise but here are a few things to keep in mind:
Is your home stager accredited by a professional Home Staging organization and do they continue their education as housing trends change. When was the last time they attended a workshop or a class?
How well do they understand the demographics of buyers suited for your home, neighborhood and the community in which you live? Will they be able to tailor your staging application with the level of buyer you hope to attract?
Do they understand the “gotta haves” versus the “nice to haves” when it comes to your home? Do they know what your particular buyer will be looking for at your price point?
Do they understand the difference between truly staging a room versus making it look nice? Home staging is not the same as decorating.
Are they giving you real value for the money they charge? Home staging with a highly qualified professional often offers a variety of packages to meet one’s budget as opposed to those who have a one-price-fits-all-model. Is your house like everyone else’s? Why should the cost of your staging be the same?
Ask to see their portfolio and their testimonials of satisfied clients. Find out how many years they have been in business and what their experiences are.
Keep these tips in mind to find the best stager for your house so that you can get moving faster and for more money.
