Why Stage
Home staging has been widely recognized for its positive impact on the real estate market. While specific results can vary based on factors such as location, property type, and market conditions, several studies and industry reports highlight the benefits of home staging.
-
Reduced Time on the Market:
-
Staged homes can attract more attention from buyers, leading to a shorter time on the market. A survey by the Real Estate Staging Association (RESA) found that professionally staged homes, on average, sell 73% faster than non-staged homes.
-
-
Increased Property Value:
-
The Real Estate Staging Association (RESA) suggests that staged homes can often sell for a higher price compared to non-staged homes. The increase in sale price ranged from 1% to 20%, depending on the region, but the exact percentage increase may vary.
-
-
Better Online Presentation:
-
The majority of homebuyers begin their property search online. Staging helps present a property in its best light through online listings, attracting more potential buyers and increasing the likelihood of property viewings.
-
-
Highlight Property Potential:
-
Staging can help highlight the full potential of a property, drawing attention to its unique selling points and minimizing any potential drawbacks.
-
-
Higher Return on Investment (ROI):
-
Investing in professional home staging is often considered to have a high ROI. While costs associated with staging can vary, the potential return through a faster sale at a higher price can outweigh the initial investment.
-
-
Increased Appraisal Value:
-
Some studies suggest that staged homes may receive higher appraisals. An aesthetically pleasing and well-maintained property can be appraised more favorably than a comparable non-staged property.
-
-
Competitive Edge in the Market:
-
Staging gives a property a competitive edge in a crowded real estate market. It helps the property stand out and gives it a polished and inviting appearance that can attract potential buyers
-
-
Improved Buyer Perception:
-
Staged homes tend to create a positive and memorable impression on potential buyers. A well-staged property helps buyers envision themselves living in the space and can lead to a more emotional connection with the home.

Testimonials
As a top producing agent, I am adamant on properly marketing a property for the market with a big emphasis on staging.
I am beyond pleased that I chose Shawna + team for my newest listing. The furniture was already great, but we definitely needed some accents and enhancements. Enter Shawna.
She blasted past my expectations with her incredible attention to detail and work ethic. Not only did she provide accents, she transformed the spaces with the most beautiful pieces that really brought each space together. From rugs, to tables and chairs, paintings & decor, with greenery through out. WOW is an under statement.
I was traveling this week at a conference, and Shawna even went so far to help prepare the house for photos in my absence. She tidy’ed up, moved pieces around, and ensured each space was meticulously set for the photoshoot appt. Who else does that??!
I have now hired her for two more incoming listings and am excited to see what she does!
Dock Square is my new go-to."
