Should You Use a Professional Stager When Selling Your Luxury Home?

If you’re planning to put your luxury дом on the market, consider staging it first.

Staging is the process of “styling” a дом to maximize its appeal to potential покупатели. It can be as simple as eliminating clutter or reorganizing a bookcase, or staging can involve removing, replacing or re-arranging furniture, adding accessories or taking down heavy draperies that block the light.

According to StagedHomes.com, which provides training and awards the Accredited Staging Professional designation to real estate агенты, designers and others interested in becoming stagers, staging a дом helps it sell faster and at a higher price. In fact, in a recent survey, the site found that a staged дом sells in an average of 10.3 days, compared to a non-staged дом, which averages 84.6 days on the market.

Ask your real estate agent о staging options when listing your дом. Some агенты have a background in design and feel comfortable handling the staging themselves, especially if the дом doesn’t need much to prepare it for sale, while others may recommend a staging professional.
