So you are thinking of selling in today’s market? How do you make your home stand out from the rest?
You need a Realtor who will give you a distinct marketing advantage by either having the artistic ability to redesign the interior of your home or employ the creative services of a Certified Home Stager.
Home staging is more than the art of preparing a home for sale. It is about illusion. It is how magician Criss Angel would sell a house. It’s beyond cleaning and moving furniture around. The key word is AMBIANCE. Creating a mood and perfecting it so that the home feels bigger, warmer, brighter and most of all that it evokes a feeling of “Buy Me” to a potential home buyer.
To survive in today’s challenging real estate market, this valuable trend is almost a must. According to the National Association of Realtors, the average time on the market for stages homes is 13.9 days as opposed to 31 days for non-staged homes. Staged homes also sell for an average of 6.9% to 10% over listing price according to NAR.
The problem with selling a home is that very few buyers can visualize the potential that is hidden in the house. Home buyers are reluctant to see pass the current home owners own decorating taste or are reluctant to buy a vacant home.
Make sure to ask your realtor how they can help you leave a lasting impression on prospective buyers.

Hi! I'm Tyler.
I'm always sitting under my Mom's desk as she does her Real Estate work.
No one knows who I am so I thought I'd create this blog and introduce myself.
I am a 4 year old Pomeranian. I live in Colts Neck New Jersey and my mom is a Real Estate agent who works for Better Homes Realty, the Colts Neck office.
Please check in often as I will be blogging all about the upcoming news and life underneath my Mom's desk! Plus my mom herself and some contributing writers will also be hanging around to talk Real Estate. Hope to hear from you soon.
BARK BARK!
Thanks for sharing the fantastic bog about setting a home apart in this market through staging. It’s great to see real statistics on the staging industry. Your graphics were great too.
