Why Stage?
why stage with Victoria?
first impressions matter
- Buyers typically form their opinions about any property in the first two minutes. Victoria understands how to tempt and add value. Victoria’s staging creates an instant emotional connection between the viewer and the home and her design enhances the strengths of a property and minimizes the weaknesses.
Broadens appeal and generates interest
- Research tells us that 88% of buyers search for homes on the web. Their decision to view any listing is derived from the way the property is presented.
98% of buyers site multiple quality photos and virtual tour videos as the most useful and important feature of on-line listings. Victoria’s staging ensures an essential part of this process.
Most buyers have a hard time visualizing
- Experience tells us that only 10% of buyers can visualize the full potential of a non-staged home. Victoria’s staging demonstrates the potential use of space and provides inspiration and scale where it would otherwise be lacking.
Sells quickly
- San Francisco Bay Area research tells us that staged properties sell 40% faster than those that are not. Victoria’s staging and great design sense, sets a property apart from any competition and generates multiple interest.
Maximizes return on investment
- Victoria’s staging costs far less than your first listing price reduction! Staging has proven to increase the selling price of a home by between 3% - 20%. Victoria’s staging, as is demonstrated from her track record on results, regularly yields more than statistics indicate.
Most realtors in the Bay Area recognize the value of staging. It has been proven that staging dramatically impacts their ability to command "top dollar" list prices for their clients.
Over and above aggressive list prices, these are just some of the results we have produced for our clients within the last year.
