Are you trying to sell a Are you trying to sell a vacant home?vacant home?

Buyers can't make an emotional connection with a vacant home

and home buying is an emotional decision

You will get low ball offers because buyers will think the

seller is desperate

Buyers will focus on the flaws without anything else to look at

Buyers can't visualize how their furniture will fit without something

to compare to

An obvious use for each space is not evident confusing buyers

Vacant rooms appear smaller

Vacant homes generally offer little to no lighting for buyers to

view the home by so homes show as dark and dreary

Buyers stay in vacant homes for an average of 5 minutes

vs. 40 minutes when touring a furnished home

More time = More of a connection to the home

In 2008 furnished homes sold 60% faster than vacant homes

Homes on the market for more than 24 weeks sell for 10% less

Homes that sell in the first 30 days sell closest to asking

In 2009 unstaged homes sold in 10.4

months on average while staged homes sold in 1.35 months

The main living areas and the master bedroom and baths

should be staged for best impact (Bang for the Buck)

Most stagers will suggest renting furniture to stage vacant

homes which can be costly

“Scene” Staging is an alternative to make a vacant home feel furnished for far less money

Scenes can be created to bring attention to the focal points of a room so special features are not

missed by the buyer

Decorative accessories and minimal accent furniture pieces are used to create the scenes

Sellers are charged $75/Room for the set-up service with a monthly accessory rental fee

charged beginning after 30 days
