1. People Don't Buy Houses, They Buy Homes
The number one reason a buyer purchases a home is because it
"felt like home." It was warm,inviting and the buyer made an
emotional connection with the home. When have you ever heard
of an empty room described as warm and inviting? Sterile, cold
and uninviting are the three most popular words to describe an
empty room.
2. Without Furniture, There Is No Frame Of
Reference
How big is the room? Without furniture it's incredibly difficult to tell
the scale and size of a room. What is this room for? Many times
a buyer can't even tell if it's the living room or dining room in an
unfurnished home. Don't keep them guessing, it only distracts
them from considering the home as a purchase.
3. When A Room Is Kept Empty, Buyers Focus
On Negative Details
Can you imagine a brand new Mercedes without a paint job? Do
you think people would notice the beautiful car or the missing
paint? It's so much easier to notice that crack in the wall, or the
chip in the tile when there is nothing else to look at. Home Staging
capitalizes on the positive aspects of a home, while
de-emphasizing the negative aspects in order to position a home
that will make an emotional connection with buyers.
4. Only 10% of Home Buyers Can Actually
Visualize the Potential of a Home
Nine out of every ten people walking in your home have no
imagination of the wonderful possibilities your home has to offer
them. Don't let a simple thing like no furniture or limited furniture
ruin your sale. Don't take those odds; they will hurt you in the
price significantly!
5. Paying For Two Mortgages Can Get
Expensive!
Let's look at the facts: a vacant home typically takes twice as long
to sell, and the longer something "sits" on the market, the lower
the sales price*. Why risk paying two mortgages longer, only to
have the sales price lower than it would have been if you had the
home professionally staged!
