HOME STAGING

WHAT IS HOME STAGING?

Charlene Storozuk – Owner of Dezigner Digz™


Home staging, also known as real estate staging, is the art of transforming a home into a sought-after property that will stand out amongst the competing comparable listings in that area. In a lot of cases, this does not have to come at great expense to the homeowner. Many times a professional home stager can bring about a dramatic makeover with minimal cash layout which in turn, results in the homeowner realizing a higher net profit.

Home staging is much more than just cleaning and de-cluttering. It involves being able to distinguish the positives and negatives in a home and knowing what to do to accentuate those positives. Keep in mind though, that a reputable home stager will never try to disguise flaws in a home. That is unethical.
Can I stage my own home?
A professional home stager will be able to look at your home in an unbiased manner and see things that are in need of change that you, the homeowner, may not notice. It is difficult for a homeowner to be impartial as they are invested in the property.
Is home staging expensive?
There is a misconception among some people that home staging is expensive. This could not be farther from the truth. Sometimes the most dramatic differences to a room are achieved by simply re-arranging the furniture and changing the paint colour. A professional home stager is able to see the potential in your home and will achieve its best look, while at the same time, doing so for the least amount of money to you. After all, the less spent on home staging (when done correctly), the more money in your pocket.

I thought this was a good informational piece on Home Staging.
