So you’re thinking about selling your home and the topic of Home Staging came up. What is home staging and how can it help you? Today we’re going to look at the topic: Home Staging Doesn’t Have To Be Expensive. We’re going to cover what Home Staging is and how it doesn’t have to cost you a fortune to make top dollar on the sale of your home, but you have to be smart.
What is Home Staging?
Home staging is presenting your property in its best light. Most Realtors encourage sellers to bring in a professional home stager who dresses up your house to make it sexy, smart, and fun so it appeals to a wide range of prospect buyers.
What is the cost of staging?
Staging costs vary depending on the size of your home, bedrooms, and bathrooms count. Typically staging fees are about $4,000 for a two bedroom and two bathroom home for two months rental and weekly rates beyond that.
Do I have to stage my home before I put it on the market for sale?
Absolutely not. On average, statistically, we see 7% higher sales prices on properties that are vacant and have some kind of tasteful staging, so is staging recommended if you want top dollar? Absolutely yes!
We don’t want to pay an extra $4,000 for staging. What are our options?
Kendall Key from RealPro Eastside and I go the extra mile for our real estate clients. When the money for staging isn’t available, we roll up our sleeves and get the job done. It’s in our best interest to make sure you and your family make as much money as possible for the sale of your home.

The number one rule when selling your home is getting rid of the clutter. If you have too much furniture – that’s a red flag. We want to make your home look as large as possible for the prospect buyers.

A secret in making a room actually appear larger is the paint color. Kendall and I bring in our trusted professional painter to canvas the walls with a beautiful expansive white. If you have a smaller kitchen or bathrooms the color white we use instantly gives the room an illusion of more space. Plus, our color of white is seamless and sophisticated.
If Kendall and I are limited to furniture and accessories we mix it up to make the space more inviting. When it comes to the Los Angeles neighborhoods we sell homes, it’s important we group the pieces by color shape and texture to appeal to the specific buyers who will pay top dollar for your home.

Flowers, plants, and green life always bring in more money for our sellers. Splashes of cheerful plant life placed around the exterior of the home is a nice touch that breathes a warming and welcoming environment.
Unfinished and neglected spaces can scare off buyers. Kendall Key and I are experts at helping you make your home look like a million bucks even if you’re a few hundred thousand away from that. Our exterior handymen can dress up the necessary lipstick to invite the right buyer who will write the offer you want for your home so you can move on to whatever is next for you.
