Staging works now more then ever!

Logo Home Staging Design Pros, Orlando Stagers

Welcome, and thank you for visiting Home Staging Design Pros blog.

 We are here to help!

Home Staging Design Pros provide services which assist home-owners and real estate agents alike, in the preparation of homes for both open house and private showings.

Chances are you're familiar with the term or concept of home staging. What most people don't know is why using a home stager is so important, especially when it comes to the sale of their home. Let's face facts; the real estate market is not what it once was, especially in the Central Florida region. With thousands upon thousands of homes on the market it is imperative that you make sure that yours stands out above the rest. For most people seeing their home through a "buyer's eyes" is pretty difficult. To make matters worse, research shows that a whopping 90% of potential buyer's can't visualize themselves living in the home they are touring. If they can't see themselves in it, they won't buy it. It's that simple. What we do is make your home into a place that will shine in a potential buyer's eyes. We'll help them see your old home as their own new home.  We give you the tools to make your home a showplace that buyer's will love.

Ask yourself the following questions....

Has your home been on the market with little or no interest?

Have you reduced the price of your house, only to see it still sit on the market?

When you drive through your neighborhood do you see "For sale" signs everywhere?

You want to make your home look its best and stand out in a crowd but aren't sure how to go about it?

Do you see some things in your house that you love but aren't sure how to display them to maximize their appeal?

Do you love your house but feel that the furniture just doesn't fit or your house doesn't "flow" well?

Is the potential of selling your home 50% faster and for 6-10% more worth a small investment?

Do any of these apply to you? If so, then maybe it's time to consult with Home Staging Design Pros.

FAQ's

1. Why should I use Home Staging Design Pros instead of another company?

 Our team of professionals strives to bring a home's best features forward. Whether it is for a home sale, or if you just want to bring out the best of what you already have, Home Staging Design Pros is at your service.  We use a network of professionals whose expertise will help you attain your goals. We are passionate about pleasing our clients and will use our talents to make sure that you are happy with the results.

2. Will you work with my Realtor?

Absolutely! With your permission we will stay in contact with your Realtor to see how the home is showing post-staging and will come back and make any changes that we deem necessary in order to maximize its appeal.

3. Is it worth the cost if I am trying to sell my home?

Consider all the money that you've put into your home. Now that your selling it is imperative that you give yourself an edge over the thousands of other homes on the market. For a relatively small investment you can potentially reap huge rewards. Often 6-10% more than a home that has not been professionally staged!

4. I'm not selling my home but want it to look its best. Why shouldn't I just use an interior designer?

Interior designers charge upwards of $250/hour plus a 20% markup on furniture which makes using their services out of reach for most homeowners. What we do is use your existing furniture and accessories to make your home model beautiful. We can show you a way to see your belongings in a new light as well as help you pick out accessories and colors to maximize the "wow" factor. All at a cost significantly less than what you would pay otherwise.

5. What can I expect during the consultation?

 When we meet we will do a walk though of your home and come up with a plan to stage it so that it has mass appeal.

6. Are you going to criticize my decorating style?

Please let us assure you that we are not here to criticize anyone's sense of style. Your home is a reflection of your personal taste and everyone is different. What we do is help to make your home look its best and appeal to a wide variety of tastes.

Chances are you're familiar with the term or concept of home staging. What most people don't know is why using a professional home stager is so important (especially when it comes to the sale of their home).

We all know the real estate market is not what it once was, especially here in Central Florida. With thousands upon thousands of homes on the market in the Orlando area alone it is imperative that you make sure that yours stands out above the rest.

For most people seeing their own home through a buyer's eyes is pretty difficult. To make matters worse, research shows that a whopping 90% of potential buyers can't visualize themselves living in the home they are touring. If they can't see themselves living in it, they wont buy it! It's that simple.

Not getting any traffic? We can help!

Have a listing that has stopped, or not even begun to see any traffic? Do you have to convince your seller to do another price reduction?  

That's a common problem in today's market.  "So many homes...so few active buyers." So how do you change the status of your listing from "For Sale" to "SOLD"?

Often times only a small investment is necessary to make the change from boring listing to fabulous showplace! Plus the cost of home staging is usually tax deductible for the homeowner (consult your tax adviser for specifics).

Contact us today for a complimentary in-home consultation and lets work together on getting your listing changed from "For Sale" to "SOLD!"

PS Our initial in-home consultations are always complimentary so you have nothing to lose by contacting us today.

Home Staging News From Home Staging Design Pros Orlando Fl.

Staging News

Hello from Home Staging Design Pros.

This year has proven to be especially tough for home sales. Inventory is up, values are decreasing, loans are hard to come by.  So this month we want to focus on some of the important aspects of selling a home in today's economic environment.    In this months issue:  Desperately Seeking Sales?

To stage or to market?

Power of the Top 10 Report!

Plus more...
Desperately Seeking Sales?

 

Plunging values have home sellers struggling desperately for anything that might help sell their home. Everyday we seem to hear more and more statistics that make sellers increasingly pessimistic. Take this case in point: According to the National Association of Realtors, the median existing home price dropped more than 9.5 percent compared with the same month last year, and home sales are down 10.5 percent compared with the same month last year, prices are actually still declining and foreclosures are on the rise. Not much consolation for the people that are either actively looking to sell their home, or due to circumstances must sell their home. So what is today's seller to do?

There are two key factors in getting a home sold that are often overlooked. These two factors can make all the difference between a home that sells quickly, and one that languishes on the market for months at a time.

To stage or to market?

 That is the question.

Staging is marketing. To expand on that statement: Staging is the art of using marketing and decorating techniques to create an environment that buyers can aspire to. We want the buyer to say to themselves: "If I buy this house, I can live like this!"

To accomplish their goal professional stagers use the art of "positioning" to create several "emotional connection points" throughout the home so that when a buyer steps into a house they feel like they are at home and want to say: "This is it! This is the one!"

Staging is much more than putting furniture in an empty room or depersonalizing a crowded space. It's about creating a lifestyle that buyers want.
