What do you think? Is Home Staging an expense or an investment?
I think most home owners initially think of home staging as an expense. I see staging as an investment,
I am a professional home stager in the Twin Cities so my viewpoint on the subject may be a bit slanted. But stay with me for a second and see if I can help you see that making a small investment in home staging can reap financial returns for you.
A respected organization recently surveyed 600 real estate agents to understand what types of things they recommend sellers do to get their property ready for sale.
The goal of the survey was to see:
Not surprisingly giving the home a deep and through cleaning came in as the number one thing Real Estate Agents recommended to their sellers. The investment cost is very low and the return on the effort is very high.
Home Staging was ranked as Number 3 on the list of 10. With an average investment of $550 the realized gain was $2,194. That means for every dollar invested in staging the property, the seller realized $3 in return.
Keep in mind that many people are able to stage their properties for well under the average of $550. In the Twin Cities a staging consultation will run you anywhere from $150 to $225.
Let’s say that during the staging consultation ($150) I suggest that you replace a dated light fixture ($65), swap out the vase of silk plants with a candle arrangement for ($30), give you specific suggestions on how to declutter and brighten the space ($0), and provide a game plan for rearranging your furniture and accessories to showcase the best feature in the room ($0). Your investment is only $245.
If an investment of $245 would help you:
I bet you would agree with me. Staging is a good investment!

First Impressions Happen On-Line…Not Curbside
I bet when you saw the message Home Staging Sucks! in the subject line you thought something was amiss. If you know me, you know that I am passionate about telling anyone that will listen about the benefits of staging…..but here is the truth:
Staging Does Suck
It sucks prospective buyers that are previewing the property on-line into making an appointment to view the property in person!
Real estate professionals and home stagers are always talking to clients about the importance of a positive first impression.
Yes, it is a cliche, and yes it’s trite, but it’s still true. You only get one chance to make a positive first impression.
But here’s the twist
Not long ago that first impression happened when the prospective buyer(s) pulled up to the property. Even if the property didn’t especially grab them they would go ahead and tour since they were already there. Sometimes they discovered that the property had more to offer than they originally thought…sometimes not.
But today, over 90% of buyers will preview properties on-line before they even take the next step to schedule a showing. If the property does not grab them the instant they open the page they click the mouse and move on to the next listing. In a buyer’s market, like the one we are experiencing today, you can’t afford to miss an opportunity.
A staged property will make a great first impression. Care has been taken to insure that the best features of the room are not blocked by furniture or clutter, the lighting in the room is appropriate, the colors have been neutralized and attention has been given to considering how the property will appear in photographs.
If you want to suck in buyers and get showings booked….give me a call today.
