FIRST IMPRESSIONS COUNT! Purchases are made based on emotions. If the seller’s MLS photos do not immediately catch the buyer’s eye with that ‘model home’ look, then the chance of wanting to see more is extremely doubtful. Great staging sparks the emotions as well as the imagination of the buyer helping to envision living in a staged ‘model home.’ Good home staging is key to maximizing the value of the property and selling in the shortest amount of time on the market. On this page the RESA calculator below shows the cost savings associated with professionally staging the home to get the most out of your greatest investment.

VACANT HOMES

Staging a vacant home is imperative in this day and time.

The key to staging a vacant, as in all staging, is to help the prospective buyer imagine themselves living in the home.
