Staging Your Home for Maximum Impact
By Grace on Jul 21, 2008 in Seller Tips
Selling a vacant home in North Dallas can be tricky. One might think that a home free of furniture will sell quicker because it is a blank canvas of sorts. But many studies have proven that this is not the case.
Effective staging accomplishes many things. First, it gives a home warmth and character and evokes emotion from potential buyers. Secondly, it gives potential buyers an idea of possible furniture placement and allows them to better gauge the size of the room based on the furniture placed in it. Lastly, it creates an often-magnificent first impression and therefore encourages a higher asking price (which typically more than offsets the costs for staging).
Effective staging can emphasize a home’s important features and draw a potential buyer’s eye to it. New construction and larger homes especially benefit from staging, as they often feel cold and uninviting due to their large rooms and high ceilings.
Effective Staging Evokes Emotions
Evoking emotion is perhaps the key to successful staging. Can potential buyers picture themselves cozying up on the large sofa placed beside the fireplace, or enjoying morning breakfast at the elegant kitchen table? The answer is a resounding yes! Home buying comes with a lot of emotion, and feeling the warmth and positive energy that a staged home can portray to homeowners is often the key to a quick sale and a higher sales price.
Contact local staging companies in North Dallas and get quotes on staging. You’ll likely find that home staging more than pays for itself, in terms of a higher sales price and less time on the market.
A home that is effectively staged will allow potential home buyers to imagine what life would be like in your home. Furniture, accessories and fresh flowers can add interest and character to a home and set it apart from other homes in the same price range. Don’t underestimate the power of staging!

Home Staging really does work. I’ve seen sellers hire homestagers and end up getting more money at the closing table
