the FACTS on Staging your home to SELL!



Ok, I want to sell my house, but there are several things in need of repair and/or updating. Is it worth my time and money?

QUICK FACT #1: Staging your home for sale saves you time and money
Professionally staged homes sell in 80% less time than non-staged homes, according to a survey conducted by ASP* (Accredited Staging Professional). The money spent on staging will always be less than your first price reduction and statistics also show that 94.6% of staged homes sell on average in 35 days or less. *Source: Stagedhomes.com and based on today’s market
