Does staging really make a difference? “We are so convinced that having a listing professionally staged means a quicker sale and higher net proceeds for our sellers,” says Liz Moore, “that we now provide an initial staging consultation to our listing clients at our expense.”
According to a recent Home Gain survey, 94% of homes staged by a professional stager sold in 29 days or less, compared to an average of 145 days for non-staged homes. Even more compelling is the finding that $724 invested in staging (the average cost) netted the seller $2,145 more in price – a 196% return on investment!
