STAGING FAQ'S...
Why have your home professionally staged?
According to Home Gain and recent studies, homes that have
been professionally staged sell in 50% less time and for up
to 6.3% more. When you put your home on the market it
becomes a product that has value and competition. The way
you live in your home and the way you market if for sale are
two different things. By having your home staged you will
ensure that it stands out from the competition, sells in the
shortest amount of time, and sells for the most money.
When should you have your home staged?
For
maximum benefit you should have your home staged prior to
putting it on the market. Stage it, List it, Sell it.
According to the National Association of Realtors the longer
a home remains on the market the lower the selling price
will be. It is best to make the right first impression from
the beginning. If your home has been on the market for a
while Rockland Home Staging will enhance the homes positive
features and maximize your homes market potential.
Why should I spend money on a home when I am selling it?
You
don’t spend money on home staging, you invest in it. Having
your home professionally staged results in increased sales
price. Rockland Home Staging specialized in inexpensive
transformations for the Rockland County homeowner.
Consultations start as low as $300 and Staging typically
cost $350-$1500, which may result in a $5,000 $20,000 gain
when the property sells. Staging actually makes you money!
Is Home Staging tax deductible?
In many
situations Home Staging can be tax deductible because the
fees for home staging services can be considered an
advertising expense. (See IRS Publication 523) This
will influence a seller's capitol gain or loss when the
property sells. Please contact your accountant to discuss
how to deduct your home staging expenses.

the difference between Home Staging and Interior Decorating?
