What is Staging?It’s not decorating, which is basically personalizing a home. Staging is de-personalizing a home. It’s not remodeling, but instead using your things and your space more creatively. It’s the creation of a restful home that flows and allows the prospective Buyer to imagine their personal possessions integrated into every nook and cranny. Staging allows you to capture a Buyer during that critical first impression. Buyers decide in the first 11 seconds after coming through your front door whether your home is under consideration or scratched off their list. Within 90 seconds, they know if this feels like “home”. An effectively staged home is groomed and dressed to elicit these desired reactions. Once you decide to sell your home or condominium, you need to detach yourself. The home is no longer about you – it needs to appeal to the next owner. You are turning “your” home into “a” home, and marketing it as such. Before allowing your realtor to actually market the property, Cape May Home Seller Consulting needs to advise you on what physical changes to make. Then you can either implement them yourself, or we can do it for you. We can do as little or as much as you wish. Only then is it time to let your realtor take pictures and get your property listed with the Cape May County Multiple Listing Service. This automatically gets your property exposure on realtor.com, the most popular real estate search website in the country. With 77% of Buyers doing their research on the internet, presenting pictures of your property at its best is critical. Cape May Home Seller Consulting also provides the same much needed service for newly constructed single family homes and condo/townhomes. Let’s face it – most Buyers lack vision when presented with a home of white walls, no matter how nice the appliances, upgrades or quality of construction. A few key rooms tastefully staged make an inviting and tempting display, and help get Buyers positioned and comfortable to sign a contract.

“While home staging has been around for over 30 years, it is a fairly new phenomenon in Cape May County. The reasons it is beneficial to both Sellers and realtors are compelling - properties sell on average for 7% more money and they sell in half the time. The consultation is very reasonably priced, and implementing our recommendations can be done by either you or us – it’s your choice. In today’s real estate market, where you’re competing with an overabundance of available properties, you need an advantage. Home staging by Cape May Home Seller Consulting gives you that advantage.” -- Joyce Jewell,
