Home Staging
"Home staging" is becoming a huge new trend in the homeowner and seller market place. It is not entirely new to the real estate market, however, with the increased number of homes going on the market and as the shift from a sellers market to a buyers market emerges - home staging professionals are growing in number and the demand for their services is increasing.
Home stagers prepare a house to be sold and for open houses and showings. Anywhere from lighting accents, music, rental of new furniture to cleaning up clutter and arranging rooms.
They say that first impressions are lasting ones so Home Stagers must ensure that this impression is a good one. To find a good home stager speak with your real estate agent and try to get a referral - that way you can be sure to get a professional. Another trick is to go to open houses and the ones that you like ask who was responsible in staging the home if anyone.
Make sure you ask what the rates are for your home stager's services. Right now it's all over the map, from an hourly rate, to a fixed amount right up to a percentage of the sale of the home. Most will come and do a free estimate on how much it will cost you to stage your home.
