How Does Having My Listings Professionally Staged Help Me?
Recently, many of my agent clients have been using Staging services as a way to help them win listing contracts. One agent was recently up against 3 others for the same listing contract and offered my Staging services at a cost to her of just $75 on this particular home. Although the clients did not know how inexpensive this service was, they chose her to list the home having perceived the value of her services to be higher than her competition. The house sold in 2 days for more money than the other agents had even wanted to list the home for. They were so thrilled, they recommended her to their neighbors and she sold that house as well!
Since she double ended the first sale, she made over $15k in commissions off the two homes because she offered a “free staging service” that cost her under $100….
Win More Listing Contracts
On your next listing appointment, you might try this approach with your potential clients:
“Mr. and Mrs. Home Seller, I heard you say that getting the most money out of your home was important to you. One of the benefits of working with me to sell your home is that I work with a professional home stager who is trained in the art of uncovering the hidden dollars in your property. Studies show that staging can yield up to 17% higher offers and can sell your home 78% faster. If you list with me, I would like to include an appointment with my stager so that we can focus on your goal of getting your home sold quickly and for top dollar”.
Other reasons to Stage…….
Studies show staged homes on average sell 67% faster and receive offers up to 17% higher than no-staged homes and may be a tax write off! A home professionally staged by Style My Space has been intentionally designed to be warm and inviting while showcasing features and square footage. This creates an environment that buyers aspire to own, thereby selling the home for top dollar in its market in the shortest amount of time. The faster your listings sell, the more impressive your sales statistics and the more people want to list with you!
Some things to consider:
- 90% of all buyers used the internet to search for properties
- 84% of buyers reported the photos to be the most useful information
- The number one action taken after viewing a home online was to drive by or visit the home
- 91% of all home buying decisions are made by women
- 70% of women knew the day they walked in the house it was the right one for them
Why not create an environment your buyer is looking to buy?

This is an affordable route for the do-it-yourselfer looking to maximize their profit potential and sell their home quicker. This service starts at $100 and is discounted to agents who prefer to include it with their listing package.
The Bid is an estimate for the work to be completed by our team in a lived in home. This estimate is based on the scope of the project and our professional recommendations to expedite the fastest sale. This service includes staging the home’s interior and exterior and providing additional accessories if needed. Most homes start around $500 but our crew can also come in for just $150 per hour, staging the most critical areas first. This is an affordable option for most sellers as they can decide how much they would like to invest.
Staging vacant homes so they show like models can help them sell twice as fast. Vacant stagings include furniture, accessories, staging and de-staging, insurance and deliveries.
