Why Hire a Home Stager?

Adonica Coleman, HSE

"You're never given a second chance to make a first impression." That cliche usually brings to mind several different scenarios, such as first dates and job interviews, but what about selling a home? Most buyers make an initial judgement within the first 60 seconds of viewing a property, so the time to capture their interest is immediate, and also extremely fleeting. So what can sellers do to draw the buyers in and set their property apart from the others on the market? Most important, how can a home be given the best opportunity at selling quickly, and for the best price?

Enter professional home stagers.

A professional home stager is a highly skilled artist that possesses the skills to create a scenery that appeals to the senses. They go beyond decorating and rearranging and create rooms that appear brighter, warmer, and more spacious. Stagers come after the initial cleaning, de-cluttering, and minor repair work and do what they are trained to do; dress the house for sale.

Can they guarantee that the home will sell the next day? Absolutely not, but they can guarantee that the property, which is now a product for sale, has the best chance at making a great first and lasting impression with potential buyers.
