My clients often ask me, "What will you do to sell our home?"  Well, in the Jacksonville NC real estate market, there are a lot of similar homes to choose from.  So what do I do to set my listings apart?

Staging!

Here are 7 reasons why you should have your home staged before you put it on the market:

1) To Make a Positive Impression - The first impression that your home makes on a potential buyer is extremely important.  Studies show that buyers make up their mind about a home within the first minute.  You must make sure that first minute makes a positive impression!

2) Faster Selling Time - According to the International Association of Home Staging Professionals, 94.6% of ASP staged homes sell on average in 35 days or less.

3) Ready to Move In - Staged homes appear to be in "Move-In Ready" condition.  Buyers prefer to move in and immediately start enjoying their home.

4) No Imagination Required - Very few people can get past the clutter to see how beautiful a home is.  Staging helps to display all of your home's potential!

5) Competitive Advantage - Staged homes have an advantage over other homes because stagers look at a home from a buyers perspective and suggest changes according to what buyers are looking for.

6) Well Maintained - Staged homes have the appearance of being well-maintained and cared for.  This is the underlying psychological message that is sent to potential buyers.

7) Higher Sales Price - According to U.S. Housing and Urban Development, a staged home will sell, on average, for 17% higher than an un-staged home.

So, what does all of this mean for you, as a home seller?  It means that staging a home can give you the peace of mind of knowing that you are doing everything that you can to sell it!
