Staging Your Home To Sell!

Home staging can easily increase the selling price of your home by $10,000 to $50,000 with minimal investment.
Referred to as "the dream weavers of the real estate world" (Forbes, 2002), "House Fluffers" can take a home and turn it into another house entirely— often in a matter of days!

Decorating your house to sell, also called Home Staging or House Fluffing, will help you sell in record time and get top dollar for your home.

Higher inventory of homes means that houses for sale tend to sit for longer periods— house hunters can afford to take their time and be more demanding about what they buy.

When buyers have time and selection on their side, they can be very picky. Obviously, the homes that show the best will sell faster and for more money.

Take the case of a house in Toronto in 2003 that was listed appropriately at $599,900. In 5 days they had 10 bids and the final price was driven up to $725,500, proving that while people may shop with logic, they buy on emotion. This would not have happened in a house that hadn't been home staged, or decorated to sell.

What's especially intriguing is the possibilities that can open up in your life when you have a sudden cash windfall from selling your home for way more than you imagined. You could put the money into the next bigger house, but some clients use it instead to take time off work and try something new.

"I couldn't have imagined that just moving our furniture and art around would get us three offers after we sat on the market for 6 weeks! Our agent wanted us to drop our price significantly, but thanks to your house fluffing we got 98% of our original price!" John W.

Bottom line... the home staging process can make a huge difference in the outcome when you put your home on the market.
