STAGING YOUR COASTAL LUXURY HOME TO SELL...

When a home goes on the market, the objective is that someone will discover it and decide to make it their "Dream Home". What exactly it is that makes a person, couple or family feel a strong attraction to the home doesn't matter. However, what does matter is that it happens; in a reasonable period of time and that it results in a favorable offer.

In today's real estate market, professionally staging one's home has become an essential part of the pre-marketing phase. Statistics continue to prove that a well-staged home sells in up to 50% less time, and for up to 6.9% higher price than one that is vacant, or poorly furnished.

So, it stands to reason that agents who begin showing a listing without first seeing that it is properly staged, they are doing a disservice to the seller. They are turning the odds against the possibility of getting the most successful and timely sale for your property.
