Home Staging and Interior Design differs greatly. Interior Design is aimed at personalizing a space to reflect the homeowner’s specific taste and style. Home Staging on the other hand is meant to neutralize a space in order to appeal to a wider range of potential buyers.

The simple answer is yes. A property’s exterior is the first thing potential buyers see and adding curb appeal is integral to the overall impression they go away with.

Home staging practices were introduced a long time ago by developers, builders and later on by real estate brokers in order to give potential buyers a visual sense of livability of the space, a lived-in look, making them fall in love with the property and present an offer.

The outcome has been revolutionary in the real estate market. Home staging has become more popular and affordable – four empty walls are no longer appealing. he art of home staging allows a potential buyer to envision themselves living in the home with their own personal furnishing, accessories and artwork. It is a fact that staged homes are easier to sell – in most cases they sell faster and for higher prices in comparison to un staged home in the same neighbourhood.

Staging has a significant effect on how quickly a house sells and for how much. It’s very similar to the way you present yourself when you want to make a positive impression. You’re showcasing your house in its best possible condition. Your real estate agent is the most knowledgeable professional to assess and prepare an action plan. He/she will market, advertise, campaign your house to get maximum exposure. Usually, they offer general guidelines on how to present the property, suggesting perhaps a general clean-up and de-cluttering (the minimum expected). There is so much more involved that a keen eye is not enough; Home staging techniques, principles of design and a little bit of psychology (adopting the buyer’s perspective and identifying anything that might create a negative impression) will definitely bring a successful outcome.

We recommend before listing your property on the market, investing first in a reputable, professional certified home stager. Your property will show in promotional materials, on the Internet and be appraised to a higher value.
