HOME STAGING: what it is

Home Staging is a marketing technique which consists in preparing a property for sale or for rent in the real estate marketplace. The goal of staging is to make a home appealing to the highest number of potential buyers, thereby selling a property more swiftly and for more money.

The word is composed of "home" and "stage", and it focuses on improving a property’s appeal by transforming into a welcoming, attractive product that anyone might want; it is literally a property “staging”.

Clients search for a house on-line in the first place, so if your property presents itself as “WOW” you will receive many clicks, therefore more visits!! This is an undeniable benefit for the owner.

Recent studies have shown that buyers ponder whether they will purchase the house or not in the first 90 seconds of their very first visit, so the first impression is crucial!

We all know that any buyer
Does not purchase what he/she imagines but what he/she sees.

Just a few actions, like changing the position of the furniture, painting with the right colours or choosing the most appropriate complements and taking care of the lighting, together with a professional photographic service, are more than enough to make a more attractive first impression of the property.

Clients can buy a house if driven by emotions, and indeed the point of home staging is to make potential buyers feel positive emotions, who are going to buy without negotiating.

Furthermore, personal belongings, toys or doghouses don’t really help the potential buyer understand how furniture could be placed in the home and how much space will be available when it’s furnished.

KITCHEN AND BEDROOMS: Buyers pay particular attention to the kitchen and the bedrooms, which are often full of personal belongings. It is important to remove all the appliances you don’t use and choose neutral paints.
