STAGING TO SELL

Key Associates

By: Allison Taylor



It's that time of year in the real estate market where buyers are anxious to get settled in a new home before schools start back, and sellers are in the final push to make the sale.  Most schools typically start back around the end of August, and this month also signifies that summer is coming to an end.  It's a perfect time to make that final push on your home that is for sale, and to look at opportunities to get a leg up on competing properties. 

We've seen time and time again the benefits of staging a home that is for sale - most significantly in the swift sales times and the increased purchase costs.  If you haven't already considered staging as an option for improving your home's selling potential, now is the time.  Professional staging companies have the expertise in real estate and staging to assist and promote your success.  Home owners and realtors can either call in staging professionals for  consultations and do the work themselves, or ask that the professionals take on the entire task of staging.

At Key Associates, we offer special rates for half or full-day Intensive Stagings.  With Intensive Stagings, we come in with the sole purpose of maximizing a home’s marketability.  We know the key factors involved, and we efficiently go about professionally packing up clutter, arranging furniture to maximize square footage and appeal, and properly accessorizing the home. 

Here is a video that reinforces some of the key aspects of staging a home, and the benefits in doing so.
