According to the National Association of Realtors, when a home is properly staged, potential buyers can more easily visualize it as a future home and it often increases the dollar value buyers are willing to offer.
If staging seems overwhelming or you don't have the necessary time, a professional home stager can make all the difference. They serve as an impartial third-party and have a keen eye for design and flow. Our team works with a number of top-notch home staging experts and we are happy to provide referrals.
