Best Home Staging Tips
Home staging is when a seller will prepare the home for sale by making it more appealing to potentialbuyers. This process sometimes involves hiring a home staging professional and typically includes bringing in appropriate furniture, accessories and décor. It may also include landscaping and fresh paint in rooms that need updating.
According to the National Association of Realtors, 31% of home buyers increased their offer by 1-5% because the home was staged. Most realtors will testify that a properly stated home will likely help that home to sell faster and at a higher price.
