Staging your Home for Sale
Staging your home can be the most valuable tool that a home seller can utilize when selling their home. Research shows that there are solid statistics to support this approach.
According to Kiplinger, February 2009, "Homes listed for sale prior to staging sat on the market for an average of four and a half months and sold for within just over a week afterward. Homes listed for sale after staging sold within 32 to 42 days. In either case the homes sold for an average of $26,000 more than expected"
With the real estate market in flux selling your home for top dollar can be very difficult. The market times have increased which prices have dropped. Staging your home can be the most effective tool to find that prospective buyer. Staging your home for sale can produce very exciting and also provide positive results by differentiating your home from the other properties that are for sale.
Below are before and after pictures of two properties that were recently sold by using staging as a marketing tool that produced very quick and positive results. The properties are located at 500 W Superior Street, The Montgomery and The Fordham, 25 E Superior Street in Chicago.

Before and After Staging
The property at The Fordham was on the market for 6 months with no offers. The sellers decided to make some changes and stage the property along with changing their real estate agent. Below are their comments regarding their experience.
"We dealt with our agent from out of town and she was always on top of things and took care of anything she could regarding our property. She was able to sell our condo in less than 30 days--quite impressive in today's economy. We would recommend her to all of our friends in Chicago!"
