When homeowners invest in home staging, it’s important to also have a real estate agent who appreciates the increased value of a home that shows well.
Staging Diva Graduate Leah Fritz of Perfect Place Home Staging LLC completed a real estate staging project on a Kenosha WI house that was to be listed for $365,000.
Once the Realtor saw it staged, she upped the asking price to $395,000.
She immediately saw the increase in perceived value there would be for home buyers.
It’s all about decorating a home to help buyers fall in love and imagine themselves living there.
Clearly home staging worked!
The client invested under $3,000 in home staging and received a full price offer during their weekend open house.
In other words she invested under $3,000 to get back $30,000 and a fast sale. How many other legal ways do you know to make that much return on investment in only a few days?
Full price offers at an open house are rare in the area, especially in today’s real estate market.

Debra,
Great article showing what Home Staging can do at its best! I’ve had this happen to me in a seller’s market, but to have this happen in a buyer’s market too is such a testament to the tremendous true benefit of Home Staging.

Thanks for sharing. This article is the proof that I need to show that home staging works, as I start my own homestaing business. I do not have credibility yet. An article like this is a good seed to sew and to educate sellers with I think. Would it be okay if I print it out to show clients, or archive it. Or maybe I should be better to ask, if so, where should I put this kind of article, on my website? Thanks in advance Janine, Staging Diva Training Program student. UK
Thanks Janine. I have a large collection of articles I’ve written about various Staging Diva Graduates successes that prove home staging works. You’ll find them all in this category, Proof Home Staging Works Staging Statistics.
