Frequently Asked Questions
Q:  What exactly is staging and why, all of a sudden, is it so important? Several friends and a relative have told me to get my home staged before I list it…Why?  

A: Most people don’t appreciate the value or the rewards of Staging and how it can increase your sales potential in the least amount of time and at the best possible offer. Basically, people personalize their homes as they live in them, and more often than not, those favorite colors schemes and characteristics may not be desirable to potential buyers. Staging involves neutralizing and depersonalizing your home so that more potential buyers can envision themselves living there. Picture your house as a model home, we want it to be a show case and for buyers to see it from their perspective. That’s the essence of staging a home in today’s market.

With Accent Properties, LLC the homeowner is in the driver’s seat, and the staging can be done by the homeowner after receiving my consultation report, or we can perform the work. Most homeowners trust us to do the work for them and we can do as little or as much as the homeowner desires. We can also stage a vacant house which involves the rental of stylish furniture and accessories to attract your targeted buyer. Bottom line, we want you to sell your house at the highest possible price and in the least amount of time. That’s the value staging brings to the Seller’s table.

Q: Okay, I understand the theory and the rationale, but what’s the value to me in terms of real time and money?

A: Good…Now, you’re asking the hard questions. As an experienced home seller myself, you deserve to get the most money for your home at closing! According to a 2008 StagedHome® Study, they reported staged houses sell for 7% more and in one half of the time. That is roughly $35,000 more on a $500,000 home. Plus, 93% of staged houses sell in less than one month. In today's tough real estate market, staging may no longer be an option to many homeowners, it may become a necessity.
