please pause – I need to make changes — thank you
There continues to be more talk and publicity about the Home Staging business as a career choice. There are even two new television shows that are dedicated to Home Staging but let’s take a critical look and see if all of this excitement is reasonable and if this really is something that a wise person might want to pursue as a career and also the different Home Staging courses that are available.
Home Staging is basically nothing more than the business of making a house look better and getting it ready to be shown for sale. It’s really no different than getting your car cleaned out and washed up before putting it out in front of your house with a “For Sale” sign. It’s pretty obvious that things that look better also sell better weather it be a car, a piece of furniture or a house. These are the types of things that will be covered in Home Staging Classes.
The information obtained through the National Association of Realtors very much confirms this statement as their studies show that professionally staged houses sell on average 5 times faster than unstaged homes and that over 90% of staged homes sell in less than one month.
This means that as the real estate market continues to get even softer: primarily because of the flood of foreclosed properties that the demand for Home Staging services continues to grow as a way to facilitate these property sales in a reasonable time.
As could be expected, the growth of the Home Staging market has also led to a mushrooming of Home Staging Training courses. A person needs to use some judgment before signing up with one of these training courses as many of them seem to be very over-priced.
