WHY STAGE A HOME BEFORE LISTING?
Increasing the ROI on a real estate sale, new build or investment property is a primary reason to use home staging before you place a property on the market. Home staging is a tool that should be in every realtor’s belt to increase their sales and reduce the time a home sits unsold in today’s market. From keeping up with housing trends to understanding your potential buyers’ psychological needs, stagers are trained to make the selling process smoother. When you partner with an expert, certified stager – like Domaine Luxe, you take a step toward increasing the ROI of properties you list.
We’ve seen over and over that well-executed home staging sells much faster, keeps a listing from growing stale and has a positive impact on the ultimate sales value.
Staging creates a measurable and marketable change in the perceived property value. Using our expertise, we micro-target through visual marketing techniques including demographics, and lifestyle architecture with psychographics. We create lifestyles buyers want. It’s not just about selling the pretty houses, it’s about selling the lifestyle that buyers aspire to.
As a certified, experienced stager we ease the way to helping you work with your clients, especially the occupied property, clients who will live in their home while it’s being shown. Additionally, we handle all necessary updates, our no demo renos and oversee project management to get houses in top shape before the actual staging and inspection.
The presentation of your property must meet the demands of what buyers are expecting at the price point of your listing. Unrealistic pricing requests by sellers can be addressed by increasing the appeal of the presentation of the current property status with home staging. Check out our staging services in What Can We Do For You, below.
Ultimately, it’s about selling faster and at top dollar, and maximizing the ROI.
Staging a home to sell will be way cheaper than the first price reduction. When time is money, don’t leave cash on the closing table!

Vital Staging Statistics
According to NAR, National Association of Realtors, one of the most compelling facts to share with clients is that an average buyer will view an empty home in 6 minutes and they begin to form an opinion on the property in the very first 10 to 15 seconds. But, potential buyers will linger and spend 40 minutes in a lovely staged and furnished home. That’s huge! The longer a buyer stays in the home, the more they consider an offer. After viewing the house, the buyer sits on the plush and inviting sofa, leans back, and imagines what it feels like to be living in this gorgeous, professionally designed, and staged space. Then they think about their offer to you.
Staged homes sell 88% faster and for 20% more money, according to Realtor.com. Think about that for a moment. Between monthly carrying costs, and many months of a property getting stale, time is money. Do you want to sell faster and for more?
81% of buyers find it easier to visualize a property as their own future home when it is staged. That makes it easier for the buyer to move right in! It’s all about overcoming their objections.
Over 97% of buyers start their hunt on the internet, before they contact their agent. Professionally staged homes photograph remarkably better. Your listing photographs are considered your first showing. We prepare the home to prove it’s worth, reflecting what buyers are looking for. Vacant and dated rooms cause potential buyers to swipe left.
78% of expired listings are vacant homes. Price and presentation matters here and let’s face it, most vacant homes don’t show well. Buyers look at every single fault in empty rooms, and they don’t convey a warm feeling of home. Stage every listing, so they show well, and sell faster, before listing on the MLS, and more importantly, before the client says they don’t want to renew the listing contract with you.
Statistics don’t lie and sharing this information will educate and convince your clients that with staging, their house will sell faster and for money, as these numbers speak loudly!

VACANT HOME STAGING
Staging a vacant, unfurnished house helps to entice buyers to purchase the property by making it appear lived in. A clean, uncluttered, well-decorated home helps the buyer visualize how they would live in the house. The goal is to make the potential buyer feel at home when she/he tours the property. Home staging provides buyers with an idea of how furniture could or should be placed in the home and how much space will be available when it's furnished. Space in square footage counts. Most buyers cannot visualize how an empty room will appear.
INVESTMENT ASSESSMENT
When a home buyer views a property for sale and are considering placing an offer on the property, but are unsure if the house has the potential to do what they envision, this is a perfect time to consult with Domaine Luxe. We can help with your target client, demographics, and whether the house is suitable for their vision and construction budget.
COLOR CONSULTATION
Paint colors affect and influence home buyers. Does your listing need an interior or exterior paint refresh? Did you know that getting the paint color right for selling is one of the biggest first steps you can take in staging? Having the wrong color will devalue your listing. We will transform and dramatically improve your listing with our service for Color Consultation. We are Color Certified. Let’s drastically influence your selling time with the right color.

FOR BUILDERS

MLS PHOTO STYLING
As clients browse the MLS for their new home, well executed and staged interior photos immediately place your listing in their top percentage of desirables. These photos count as your first showing. Help your buyers visualize what an empty room could be or should be used as. One photo can say 1,000 words. You don't want yours to say, "what room is that?" Failure to stage your MLS photos may cause you to lose out on those first day bidding wars and tens of thousands of dollars. Don't leave cash on the closing table.
TURN-KEY BnB or PROPERTY STYLING
We turn empty investment apartments or bnb’s which many homeowners are setting up in their own property, into fully furnished, ready to go rentals, complete with all the expert coordinating, preparation and outfitting of furniture, furnishings, and necessary equipment for the entire unit including bed, bath, and kitchen. Once the turn-key process is complete, you hire a professional photographer to give you the best photos for your rental listing.
