Why Stage A Home?

Home staging is the very best proven way to get top dollar for your home. Staged homes sell faster and for more money! This is because our staging sets the scene throughout your house to create immediate buyer interest in your property. Our staging emphasizes your home's most appealing features and minimizes the impact of any unappealing ones.

Unfurnished Homes

Many of the homes Naples Home Staging works with are empty.  Studies have shown that buyers spend an average of 6 to 9 minutes in an empty home and 40 minutes in a staged home.  The reason for this is that a staged home excites the buyers' imagination.  A warm, inviting atmosphere causes buyers to start picturing themselves living in the home: preparing meals, relaxing, and entertaining friends in their new home.  Staging allows them to "mentally move into" the home.  This is necessary for a buyer to want to make an offer on your home. Most buyers just do not have the ability to envision an empty home as it would look furnished.  And with so many houses on the market, buyers find it difficult to remember them all at the end of the day.  Furnished homes are the ones they remember.  Please take a moment to view our Before & After Pictures section of this website.  You will see the dramatic difference staging makes in an empty house.

Furnished Homes

Naples Home Staging also works with homes that are already partially or fully furnished.  Just as you would prepare a car for sale by having it detailed, you need to prepare your home for sale by staging.  We often tell clients that "the way you live in your home, and the way you market and sell your house are two different things."  Our job is to make the home look as spacious as possible, and often a lived-in home has more furniture than is needed or recommended to accomplish this goal.  We typically need to edit a homeowner's belongings by having items that are not helping to sell the home pre-packed, put out of sight, or temporarily moved to storage.

You may wonder why you cannot stage your own home for sale.   Often homeowners can help with the process, but when you live in a home every day, you become used to the way it is furnished.  You don't notice clutter, or the possibility that a different furniture arrangement could make the home look more spacious.  We come in and see the home for the first time, just like a buyer would, and recommend changes needed so that your home can be as appealing to buyers as possible.  One of the things we like to say is that "clutter eats equity."  The more unnecessary furnishings and accessories you have in your home, the smaller it feels and more difficult it is for buyers to picture themselves living in the home.  Naples Home Staging can help your home create the best possible first impression!
