Home staging is gaining popularity in Rochester. Home staging is becoming a little more common in our area, but nothing like it is in other parts of the country.

As my business grew, I added a business. There is a definite distinction between the two. Re-arranging some furniture, removing clutter, and shifting items from room to room is not enough to make a strong first impression on a home buyer. There is no national certification, licensing, or accredited program for home staging. There is a major difference between somebody claiming they are certified in home staging and actually being qualified to do an outstanding job. The public seems to know that right questions to ask when hiring a realtor associate, but what about a home staging professional. Here are some questions:

• 1. What are your fees and what do they include?
• 2. May I see a portfolio of your work
• 3. Do you have a personal inventory to help accentuate my home? If yes is that included in your fee?
• 4. How many rooms have you staged?
• 5. What did your training include?

I have no doubt that home staging is effective in selling a home for a better price in a shorter time. Your home is probably your biggest commodity. Make sure that whoever you hire is both certified and qualified for the best results!
