Does Home Staging Really Work?

Does this room look familar?

Before: Staged bedroom before home staging.

Does home staging really work? The simple answer yes it does and here’s proof. You won’t find this one on MLS. It sold within one day after staging! This property in the Haysboro area of Calgary was owned by a flipper who had never staged a property before. Thanks to the wisdom of his realtor, the owner gave home staging a try and became another satisfied Set Your Stage client.
 
See the difference home staging makes.

After: This simple, yet stylish bedroom just off the patio is the perfect retreat for any homeowner.

Why was he satisfied? Because, after professional staging by the Set Your Stage team, the property sold in one day, with no conditions, and for $30k over the asking price. That’s a pretty convincing reason to consider making the investment in home staging if you’re planning to list your property for sale.
 
Especially in vacant properties, potential buyers need to actually see what’s possible in a space. They need to feel what it’s like to be in the room. Empty spaces leave too much to the imagination. The reality is that most potential buyers just can’t envision it. So it just feels like a cold, empty space.

And it usually appears smaller than it actually is. It seems strange, but let the before and after pictures in the Set Your Stage Facebook photo album (you have to be logged in to see it) convince you. Also, watch this video with Barbara Corcoran to learn more about first impressions and how an empty space sends a message of desperation to buyers.

After: This space is now a great place to entertain company.
