Home Staging & Design

Sell your home in record time with custom staging services!

All home sellers want two things from a potential buyer: that they love the home at first sight and are willing to make an offer at or above the listing price. Luckily, there is one thing all home sellers can do to make both of these things happen: home staging.

What is home staging?

Home staging describes the action of rearranging or adding furniture and decor to make the home look as good as possible to potential buyers. Staging can help create stunning listing photos and provide an unbeatable experience for potential buyers as they walk through and explore the home. Staging is particularly crucial for selling a home in today’s world, where many potential homebuyers are used to seeing impeccably designed home spaces on Pinterest and HGTV.

If your home has been on the market for a while, try home staging: it’s a proven strategy for bringing in more potential buyers and motivating them to make an offer.

What can you expect from home staging?

There are different levels of home staging and the type right for you will largely depend on if you plan to live in the home while it’s on the market. If so, a Wabi home staging expert will work with your existing furniture and decor – perhaps bringing in a few key pieces – to make your home look its best. If you’re not living in the home, we will bring in all new furniture and decor.

Home staging also includes cleaning the home top to bottom, adding aesthetic elements like throw pillows, scented candles, and seasonal decor, and limiting the amount of “stuff” in the home by about a third – the less clutter in the home, the easier it will be for a potential buyer to visualize themselves living in the home.

Top 4 reasons to stage your home

Still wondering if home staging is right for you?  Here are our top 4 reasons for trying Wabi’s home staging services:

1. Home staging will help your home sell in a flash.

Homes that have been professionally staged sell significantly more quickly – often within 30 days of listing! We also regularly see staged homes sell at or above the asking price.

2. Potential buyers can visualize themselves in a staged home.

A home staging professional knows how to best utilize furniture and decor to bring out the best in a space. When a living room, bedroom, or kitchen is impeccably designed, potential buyers can better see themselves living in the space. It will help move them from the “is this house right for me” mentality to the “once I own this home, how can I replicate this design?” mentality – and that is where we want them to be!

3. Highlight the good and hide the…not so good.

Home staging is great for showing off the great things about your home – beautiful hardwood floors, charming built-ins, an inviting open concept layout. A well-staged home can also help distract from the not-so-desirable things about your home, like an awkward floor plan, outdated tile, or windows that need updating.

4. Avoid lowering your listing price.

If your home has been on the market for a while, don’t drop the price – try home staging! When potential buyers tour a home, they are actively visualizing what their life would look like there. A home that is cluttered or too personalized to the current owner is difficult to imagine differently; a staged home provides a blank canvas for potential buyers to say “I want to live here!”.
