HOME STAGING FAQ’S

What does Staging Cost?
Staging is inexpensive when compared to a $5,000-$10,000 price reduction.  Fresh ID Staging charges hourly rates for our services.  We will work with your budget.  Fresh ID Staging believes that staging is an investment not an expense.

Why can’t a homeowner or realtor stage a home?
Homeowner’s can definitely be involved with the staging, but the stager brings expertise and objectivity to the project.  Most homeowners cannot see the flaws and cannot view the home with buyer’s eyes.  They are emotionally attached to the dated furnishings, poor lighting, accumulated accessories and overgrown yards.  They are overwhelmed and don’t know where or how to start.  A stager’s job is to decrease the stress level and enlighten the homeowner with their professional services.

A realtor will spend an average of 85 hours marketing and showing your home.  This is their expertise and they cannot spend the time to commit to properly and professionally stage your home.  It is in the realtor’s best interest to find a stager to work their magic for the common goal of getting the house sold!!

What is the buyer’s perspective when viewing a home?
Buyers are distracted easily by minor flaws, clutter and personal items. They will only think about what else is wrong with the home when presented with a bad first impression.  Buyers start out very logical and end up buying with an emotional connection.  Staging will help a buyer make that connection.  A buyer will overlook some items on their want list for a home that is in good repair, fresh and clean.

Why stage a vacant home?
Vacant homes are cold, sterile and have no personality.  Buyers cannot visualize the potential of the home.  They cannot see how their furnishings will work in the space.  Usually the space appears much smaller than it actually is.  ALL ROOMS NEED A PURPOSE!  Vacant rooms have no purpose.  Buyers will look for the defects because the home has nothing else to offer.  Vacant homes will sell for less because a buyer feels that the seller is desperate to sell.  Fresh ID Staging will stage the home to reflect the style of the home and the market it is in.
