Why Staging Sells

Choosing a real estate agent to list your home can be daunting. There are so many real estate services to consider, real estate brokers, and decisions to be made. When you list your home for sale with Diane Ito, you’ll get top-tier real estate service on Oahu, which includes staging your home. Diane Ito personally curates the items that will help present your home in the best possible light – making your property stand out. Home buyers will envision themselves in the property, and that will make potential buyers want to submit an offer.

1. Staging Boosts Your Home’s Appeal and Gets It Sold Faster
Buyers make split-second decisions when viewing a home. Staging helps your property make a stunning first impression, which can result in more offers and a faster sale. Something as simple as fresh flowers, a carefully placed piece of artwork, or even lighting fixtures can make the home more appealing.

📊 Did you know:
Homes that are staged sell 88% faster and for 20% more than those that aren’t.

2. Staging Costs Less Than Lowering Your Price
Imagine reducing the price by $10,000 or more – that’s a significant hit. But listing your home with Diane Ito includes staging - which increases your chances of getting the full asking price or even more. Staging is a wise investment for a potential big return. Diane creates a welcoming environment and a fresh feel in any home. It’s been proven that staging sells!

3. Buyers Need Help Imagining the Space
Empty rooms can be hard for buyers to visualize. Staging helps bring the space to life, allowing buyers to imagine themselves living there. From the linens to the bedside tables, bathroom towels to kitchen items, Diane’s wide array of staging items and huge inventory mean you’ll get a home makeover! No two homes are ever staged the same. Diane personally envisions what needs to go in each and every room and area of the home to make it shine! This may include sofas, light fixtures, area rugs, paintings, and more!
82% of agents say staging makes it easier for buyers to see the home as their future home.

4. Your Listing Will Shine Online
Most buyers start their home search online, so your listing needs to stand out. Staged homes are far more eye-catching, attracting more views and showings. No cookie-cutter homes here! Diane Ito transforms even the most basic listing into something that really stands out. From colorful prints to items that highlight the exterior and interior of the home, you’ll be amazed at the difference in staged listings versus basic bare bones interiors.
Homes that are staged get 40% more showings than those that aren’t.

Bottom Line:

Think of staging as a strategic investment. It makes your home more appealing and helps you secure a higher sale price. The right staging can turn a stagnant listing into a fast-moving sale that exceeds expectations.

📊 Fact:
Staged homes spend 73% less time on the market and sell for 5-10% more than unstaged ones.
