Staging Real Estate For Sale
July 11th, 2010
Question: In real estate does Staging a house really hellp it sell?
I have heard of staging homes for sale and was thinking of getting into the business. But does it really work?
Is there a way to get into the Staging business inexpensively?
Answer: Most definitely...however you must know what you are doing ... and it's best to have a background in at least one area, mostly in decorator fields. Just think of any home you've walked into that is cluttered, dusty even dirty then think of the clean, clutter free homes you've visited...which do you prefer to spend time in? Staging makes clients and possible purchasers view the home not the stuff that is scattered within or outside of it.
Further, another thing you might think about is studying up on the placement of furnishing so that the arrangement of all things within the home bring serenity and a welcoming feeling to visitors and possible purchasers.
Try the following sites to determine for yourself if staging really helps and how you might get into the business:

Further, you might want to incorporate some of the following as well to bring additional success to staging:
Staging a home with Feng Shui (as the site says it doesn't matter whether you believe in Feng Shui....) it does indeed work, I use this method first and foremost with much success... http://ezinearticles.com/?Home-Staging-with-Feng-Shui&id=179444
http://www.realtor.org/rmomag.nsf/pages/featurestagingapr03g Combines Feng Shui ideals with Northern Hemisphere staging practices

And again, many other sites that offer assistance in this area.
NOTE: If you are going to incorporate Feng Shui it is extremely wise to study this practice thorough and know the subject....I have used this practice on my own home as a test subject 
and it has certainly brought a much different look and feel that I recieve compliments on every time someone visits....the most often heard is how peaceful and welcoming it is, how content and how they would love their home to be like it and I've gained a number of clients by simply having them to my home and explaining what I do and how I do it....we've had a lot of realtors in the area approach us to sell due to the fact I stage the outside as well...Nope...not a chance
Good luck with this endeavor if you choose to go this way, it is challenging, hectic, sometimes frustrating, but such a rewarding field...particularly when the client or realtor calls to say, "Your staging made this house sell!"
Take care
