Difference in Time On Market of ASP Staged versus Non-Staged Homes. |
- Simply put, staging is the process of preparing your home to sell for top dollar in the least amount of time, regardless of price or location.
- Research shows that when priced appropriately, Staged® homes sell 3 times faster and net 5-17% more than comparable non-Staged® homes.
I think my home is very nice, why should I Stage® it?

Can’t I just do it myself?
The shows on HGTV and similar channels have increased everyone’s awareness that changes before a sale really do impact the sale price. But as the homeowner, it’s hard to remain objective about your own space. Accredited Staging Professionals (ASP's) can help you turn the home you live in to the house you are selling. ASPs have the experience and training to see every detail that will get you top dollar. We honor our clients, and work closely with you and your Realtor® to help get your house sold.
How long does it take?
This all depends on the size and scope of the project and who will do the work. On average, once your home is properly prepared, staging takes anywhere from a few hours to a full day. Preparing your home will always pay off. We are here to help you get top dollar.
Should I Stage® my vacant property?
Staging a vacant home makes a huge difference!
With vacant properties:
- Every minor imperfection is magnified when the rooms are empty.
- Buyers have trouble envisioning how furniture fits into blank spaces.
- Contrary to popular belief, rooms actually appear bigger with the right furniture.
- Stage Two Sell will give spaces purpose and buyers will connect with how each space can be used.
Will Staging guarantee me a quicker sale and higher offers?
Although there are no guarantees, studies show staged homes sell faster and for a greater equity gain. All the staging in the world will not move a property that is priced incorrectly. Two things sell a property: price and Staging®. Your realtor will advise you on the correct pricing for your property. We will stage it to sell.

When is the best time to begin the Staging Process?
While it is best to Stage® your home before you put it on the market, staging will be helpful at any time. You’re moving anyway, so we’ll help you clear out and pack up.
