Why Staging?
Home staging is a powerful marketing tool and strategic investment that helps sellers present their home in the best possible light. A well-staged home makes a strong first impression, attracts more buyers, and often leads to faster sales at higher prices. Buyers form an opinion about a home within seconds of walking in and staging not only gives a sense of room scale and flow, but also helps to create an open, inviting and well-organized space where buyers can envision themselves living. Studies also show that staged homes sell up to 88% faster with buyers willing to pay 10-20% more than non-staged homes. In a competitive real estate market, a staged home stands out against similar properties. Buyers tend to remember and prefer homes that feel warm, stylish, and well put together. The more attractive a home looks, the quicker it captures buyer interest, reducing the time it sits on the market. Below are the different staging services offered by Linjer Interiors.
01. Vacant
Vacant staging involves furnishing and decorating an entirely empty property and allows for a "blank canvas" so the focus can be on designing spaces that are neutral, modern and appeal to a broad range of buyers. When a home is completely vacant, it can feel cold, uninviting, and be difficult for buyers to visualize living in the space. Staging professionals bring in thoughtfully selected furniture, artwork, rugs, and decor to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Vacant staging is especially beneficial for real estate listings, as buyers browsing online gravitate more towards staged homes that have been beautifully photographed, allowing them to truly stand out in competitive markets. A.I. may be capable of generating photos, but the goal is to extend this first impression into the showing. Vacant staging helps define each room's purpose, showcases the home’s best features, and creates a lifestyle buyers can emotionally connect with.
02. Partial
Partial staging is a home staging approach where only selected rooms or areas of a home are furnished and decorated. This is ideal for homeowners who are interested in having the staging professionals work with their existing furniture or focus on specific areas or rooms of the home. Partial staging focuses on identifying areas for improvement, decluttering, rearranging furniture, and adding or swapping out accessories to create a more polished look. The goal is to highlight the home’s best features while minimizing distractions, ensuring that buyers can visualize themselves living in the space. This approach is especially beneficial when a home already has usable furniture but needs refinements to enhance its market appeal.
03. Owner Occupied
Owner-occupied staging is the process of staging a home while the homeowner is still living on the property, Unlike vacant staging, where furniture and decor are brought into an empty home, owner-occupied staging works with the seller’s existing furniture, supplemented with strategic enhancements to create a more market-ready look. This type of staging often involves decluttering, rearranging furniture for better flow, neutralizing decor, and adding stylish accessories like throw pillows, rugs, and artwork. The goal is to make the home appealing to a broad range of buyers while maintaining functionality for the seller.
