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

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

Staging is the process of “styling” a 首页 to maximize its appeal to potential 买家. 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 代理人, designers and others interested in becoming stagers, staging a 首页 helps it sell faster and at a higher price. In fact, in a recent survey, the site found that a staged 首页 sells in an average of 10.3 days, compared to a non-staged 首页, which averages 84.6 days on the market.

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