It’s time to sell your home. For whatever reason you are looking to relocate, downsize, upgrade, or switch school systems and you decide your best option is to sell your home. You clean the carpets, pick up all the dirty clothes that have accumulated in corners and dust the cobwebs away from the air return you never quite got around to doing before. The fan blades have never looked shinier and the blinds have been returned to their former off-white existence in lieu of the lighter shade of grade they had obtained over the years. You scrub toilets, clean baseboards, and oil hinges.

But no one comes. There are no scheduled showings, you agonize over dropping the price a few thousand dollars, can you afford to absorb that? And then you realize you forgot one very important thing: You didn’t stage your home.

Everyone sees the shows on HGTV on decluttering and taking down family photos but we as homeowners don’t seem to ever be able to complete that step in its entirety. It’s better to hire an impartial third party to spruce up your home and make it the real estate destination it deserves to be, giving you a better chance at a faster, more successful sale. Home Staging is a simple, cost effective way to boost your chances in selling your home.

Statistics say an investment of $300.00 to $400.00 in home staging can increase your home’s listing value by as much as $2,000.00. That’s a return of 586%! In a market where homes can sit, un-shown, for up to 180 days without blinking, can you afford to not do that?

Fresh Perspectives in a homestaging company here in Nashville that does more than just “rent you furniture and then wait for you to call.” They offer services ranging from full remodeling to consultations, for those that want to do it themselves, but need a more hands on approach than HGTV can offer. They even offer “virtual staging,” an option for people that have unfinished projects on their hands and still need to move the property quickly, or just don’t have the funds necessary to finish. Virtual staging allows you to show the prospective buyers the finished project in all its completed glory, giving them a glimpse at the gem they could be purchasing for themselves.

 100% of your asking price, 50% faster? Even though they are very honest in saying they can’t guarantee your home will sell, for those types of statistics it seems a nominal price to pay for peace of mind.
