Staged Productions helps homes sell faster and at a better price than the competition

Home staging should be the first step taken prior to selling a home, in order to decrease the number of days on the market and increase the sale price. Staging a property is a smart investment; it sends the message that the home is well cared for. Once you make the decision to sell, you need to stage the house for its new owner. It does not need to be turned into a designer showpiece, but it must be cleaned, organized and clutter free. You need to make the potential home buyers feel like they could slip into this life with ease. This will work for any home, in any market, in any price range.

Home staging is what is done after the cleaning, de-cluttering, painting, and minor repairs are completed; it’s about the art of reshaping reality in order to stimulate the senses. Home stagers are the illusionists of the real estate world.

With the internet, buyers can find out what is on the market, and how much it’s listed for, before they contact an agent. Just like you, buyers want the best product at the best price. Generally, when buyers arrive to view a property, it already meets their basic criteria. Most buyers are busy two-income families that are looking for a home that is move-in ready; no patching or painting or driveway repaving to do. They need to be able to see the house and its best attributes, not the clutter of daily living.

Empty houses can be much harder to sell. Most buyers do not have the imagination to see the potential.

Staged Productions realizes the importance of the home’s exterior and yard, where curb appeal is a major factor

Any realtor will tell you that some potential buyer will not even get out of their car if the outside of the house does not make a good first impression. More homeowners are becoming aware of staging because of television shows such as "Sell This House!", "The House Doctor", and "Take This House and Sell It." While the homeowners on TV make the process seem exciting and easy (especially when someone else is paying for it), caution must be taken as improvements to a home, superficial or structural, will not always result in an offer that would cover the costs of these changes. That’s where a home stager comes in.

A stager . . .

• Needs to be upfront but tactful in their evaluation of a property; they need to motivate the client to take the steps needed in order to sell quickly and for the most money.

• Can help a homeowner see a house more objectively and realize that personal items may appear as clutter to someone else.

• Has the best interest of the homeowner in mind, wanting to have the home showcase at its best.

• Has the skill to create dramatic scenes that appeal to all five senses.

Jamie Ford, Creative Director of Staged Productions possesses all of these qualities.
