The Importance of Home Staging:

Home Staging is such a crucial component to selling your home in today’s competitive market. IT IS A BUYER’S MARKET! Your realtor must be thinking about the best ways to market your home, both on-line and in person. Many realtors suggest that you speak with a Home Stager, even if they feel your house already shows well. Selling your home takes a team effort. The seller, your Staging Company and the Realtor/Realty Team that you choose to market your house make up a winning combination that will sell your home in a timely manner. When working with a team like Dragon Design, LLC, you will hear the truth. As painful as that can be at times, we will address the ‘negatives’ and convert them to ‘positives’, along with the other great features that already exist in your home. Our ultimate goal is to shorten the time your home is on the market. Time is money. And, sometimes you will have to spend money to make money or to preserve equity. Is it ideal? No. We understand that no one wants to put money into a house that they are planning to vacate in a few short months. But, the reality is that if you do not, odds are: your house will be sitting on the market longer.

  • A 5% price reduction on a house listed for $300,000.00 is $15,000.00 = $285,000.00.
  • A 10% price reduction on a house listed for $350,000.00 is $35,000.00 = $315,000.00.
  • A 20% price reduction on a house listed for $400,000.00 is $80,000.00 = $320,000.00.

Even when partially updating/renovating a house, Dragon Design, LLC clients have not spent more than $15,000.00 to prepare their home for sale! This situation is rare! If your realtor suggests that you consider taking a price reduction before exploring the option of staging, that realtor is costing you money!
