The Impact of Staging
Keeping Current Matters recently released this great infographic regarding the impact that staging a home has on the sell price and time spent on the market.
This is an extremely important aspect of the selling process to discuss with your clients, as it truly can make or break a sale. Many homebuyers simply don't have the ability to visualize a home with their furniture, or the potential a home has.
Additionally, a seller may think that their furniture is great and really suits them, however, we know that it isn't always the most neutral or best to fit the house for all potential buyers.
Some highlights from the infographic worth pointing out:
- The National Association of Realtors surveyed their members & released the findings of their Profile of Home Staging.
- 62% of seller’s agents say that staging a home decreases the amount of time a home spends on the market.
- 50% of staged homes saw a 1-10% increase in dollar-value offers from buyers.
- 77% of buyer’s agents said staging made it easier for buyers to visualize the home as their own.
- The top rooms to stage in order to attract more buyers are the living room, master bedroom, kitchen, and dining room.

Celebrating Success!
The Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Select Properties Leadership Team has been out and about this spring, celebrating all of our successes!
We recently began a Lunch with Leadership tour every month, starting with the Des Peres office! The entire branch leadership came and cooked up a delicious lunch for the Des Peres office agents and got the chance to know each other a little better.
Our tour continues this week with lunch at the Town & Country office!
Also, just last week we got together with our amazing team of USA Mortgage loan officers to celebrate our continued collaboration with them and our successes so far!
We are so thankful to have such a great team in our offices, on our mortgage side and agent side - including all of you! As we head into an even busier summer, we look forward to celebrating all of you throughout the year! Cheers!
