What is Home Staging?

When you put your home up for sale it becomes a product. Similar to a product on the shelf at your local store, your home has features and benefits as well as potential drawbacks. It also has competition. Home staging prepares your home for sale by accentuating its advantages and minimizing its flaws. It gives you the edge in a competitive market, so you can sell faster and get top dollar for your home. If you want to sell your home fast while maximizing the selling price, home staging is the answer.

No matter what your home’s age, price or location, whether it is plain or professionally decorated, Staging will work for you! That’s because an Accredited Staging Professional™ focuses exclusively on designing a plan that will generate the maximum amount of offers, not around personal taste. The Gillespie Group offers a FREE Staging Consultation when you list your home with us. To learn more, check out Staging Your Home in the Sellers section of our website. Tara Gillespie, an Accredited Staging Professional™, is always available for questions through the blog, email, or by phone at 309-657-1038 .
