Four things you should know about staging

You've probably heard about "home staging". As the name implies, it's all about arranging each room in your home in a make the best impression on buyers. Here is what you need to know about staging if you are thinking of selling your property:
1. Staging can get you a higher price
On average, a fully staged home tends to sell for 17% more than an unstaged home of the same type in the same local market.
Depending on the current market value of your property, doing some staging in your home could put thousands of extra dollars in your pocket after the sale
2. It can speed up the process
A study done by RESA (Real Estate Staging Association) showed that fully staged homes spend an average of 90% less time on the market. So, if you need to sell quickly and without reducing the price, or if you just want the comfort of having offers coming in sooner, staging will definitely help.

3. You don't have to go crazy
Performing a complete job, with every room of your house addressed, will give you the full benefit of this strategy. However, you don't have to go that far. In fact, just implementing a few simple staging techniques to some key rooms can make a big difference.
