HOME STAGING

Home Staging is a wide spread technique nowadays, when a specialist prepares the estate to be sold, and determines the steps to be taken to show the flat at the most effective way.
The essence: to bring the interior in a state which is desirable to the potential customers from the aspect of general taste and requirements. Good features should be emphasized, while bad ones should be turned to insignificant. The owner usually has positive preconceptions that block the realization of the problems occur. Anyhow, the potential buyer will notice them immediately. Proven fact, that the first impression of the apartment plays a key role in the success of the sale. Potential purchaser in average decides if he needs the property or not – within 15 seconds from entering. As a result of Home Staging, the sale will be measurably more effective. The invested amount returns multiplied. According to the latest statistics, the ‘staged’ properties are sold in much shorter timeframe at a higher price compared to ’unstaged’ ones.
The proposed fee of home staging in general cases is the 2-5% of the value of the estate. This includes the reparation works, purchased furniture and accessories, transportation, taking professional photos and the staging fee. Increase in the realized selling price of the estate is between 10-30%.

After surveying the apartment and taking photos, I prepare a written documentation related to all rooms about the tasks to be completed. I suggest reordering and fixes if needed (which can be done with low budget, but increases the value of the property dramatically – e.g.: dripping faucet, faulty fitting room door, spotted or dirty walls, etc.), even some decoration, or which furniture should be removed.  The overall goal is to help the potential buyer to imagine, how he or she will furnish or decorate the apartment or house if bought. If the property is completely empty, I propose hiring or purchasing some furniture, accessories and decoration elements. A well-furnished flat always looks larger than an empty one. Even the buyers can decide more easily if the functions of the rooms are already defined. After finishing the work by the Owner or a team delegated by the Owner, the results are being documented by photos.
