Staging your WNY home is a question lots of clients ask and with good reasons. See I have the privilege of working with a WNY home Stager who is my wife who went to school for interior design so I learn a lot from her and she also help with staging clients homes. I believe that whether a house is occupied or vacant. It’s important to stage so buyers can envision themselves in it. I’ve been very fortunate to have sellers who understood about cleaning up and cleaning out their house before selling. They followed my advice to the letter and all houses had offers within 15 to 30 days. So it’s very important to listen to you agents advice. A Home Stager is just another tool for homeowners and Realtor to improve the marketing strategy on their home. Let’s not ignore that your home is one of most important investments you can make, so we have to make it better.
How does not, staging your home hinders you homeowner insurance?
A lot of people don't realize that their home owners insurance won't pay in cases where the home is left empty too long and for good reason. Broken pipes, vandalism, etc. cause untold dollars in damages. Staging can help you keep your home looking as if it’s still occupied.
Are you hiding something while staging your WNY home?
I’ve heard agents say” what is the stager hiding?” or maybe the homeowner is hiding something will I find the opposite to be true. If there are problems with a vacant home and an on site property manager/stager comes in, those problems are more likely to be flushed out...while the property is on the market, allowing the repairs to be made sooner, rather than later. For the realtor, the stager or the owner to withhold information of known problems is not ethical. Also, a stager will have much, much less furniture in a house than is normally there in an "unstaged" home.
It used to be that you could be the best price or the best looking in order to get a house sold. Now you have to be both from day 1." Because agents and sellers alike have seen the proof in how quickly homes that are priced right and prepared well are still selling. I firmly believe Staging is so important.
For all WNY Home Sellers if you are contemplating getting your home staged to get it sold feel free to contact me I have a Home stager who go out to all of my listings, as a part of my service.
