Why stage?

According to the National Association of Realtors, 83% of buyers are more likely to “visualize [a] property as their future home” when it is staged. Staging increases the appeal to buyers while adding depth and character to an otherwise empty and lifeless home. Small apartments and condos become warm, inviting spaces and cold open rooms turn into family gathering spots. What’s more, the homes that HAMPTON + WELLS has transformed have sold in record time for close to, if not over, asking price.

The key to selling a home is creating an emotional reaction in the buyer - creating a space they can envision living in and loving, a place they can picture bringing a new baby or providing lodging for family members over the holidays. It is significantly more difficult to create that reaction in an empty space. Time and time again, we have seen that staging brings that kind of life and energy to a home!
