IS STAGING A HOME REALLY WORTH THE TIME & MONEY?

Many sellers often wonder whether or not staging a home or condo really makes a big difference when trying to sell their current property.  Even though staging the property will cost you money upfront, you can expect to see a big return on your investment when your coming toward the closing table.  Research has shown that homes that are staged sell an average of 2 times faster than thoses that are not staged.  Let me make this a bit clearer, HOMES THAT ARE STAGED SELL AN AVERAGE OF 2 TIMES FASTER THAN THOSES THAT ARE NOT.  Buyers need to invision themselves in a comfortable environment and with the right decor and color, almost anyone can feel right at home.  Make sure that each room is free of clutter and shows off the focal selling points of the property.  Take your emotions to the curb and hire a professional to help make this sale as quick and as easy as possible.  You can find an Accredited Home Staging Professional in almost every town.  The prices will vary on the size of the property but shop around and make sure that you have a written contract with the home stager before they start delivering any furniture.  Here's one other fact, properties that are staged sell for an average of 3-5% higher than thoses that are not staged.  That reason in itself should be good enough for you to think about staging the next time you sell.
