DIY Home Staging

DIY-home-staging-1

DIY home staging is one of the most popular methods of preparing any property for sale in the most economical way possible. DIY stands for do-it-yourself and represents the type of staging performed by the actual homeowner, instead of by a professional home stager.

Do-it-yourself staging is a terrific way of getting the job done quickly and for the least cost possible. Of course, it helps to have some basic staging skills in order to do a good job, but luckily, this knowledge is rather easy to come by.

This guide provides expert guidance on staging any home, without hiring a professional.

DIY Home Staging Benefits

The primary benefit of do-it-yourself home staging is certainly the ability to perform all the work on your own and save huge amounts of money. In order to save the cost of professional full service home staging, the homeowner will have to invest considerable amounts of research and sweat equity into their property.

Additionally, if the selling family has special needs, pets or young children, DIY staging may be just what they need to make their home more aesthetically pleasing, while preventing life in the staged property from becoming a true logistical nightmare.

 

Downside of DIY Home Staging

The main drawback to DIY staging is that 99.9% of home owners simply do not have the necessary knowledge or skills to properly stage their residence. Investing less money is good, but only if the results are also positive. If your results are poor, then any investment of time or money will be a waste.

Do-it-yourself staging takes far more time and effort than professional enhancement, since you must do everything without expert assistance. While this can be fun for experienced DIYers, it can be a big stress on homeowners without the right tools or understanding of what exactly they are trying to achieve.

 

Help with DIY Home Staging

If you are considering DIY staging, here is my advice for you:

Take time to learn what you are doing. Read through various online sources of information, like this website, and consider buying some home staging books.  My peer-acclaimed ebook is considered one of the best resources in the world for teaching the skills needed to perform expert-level DIY staging and many other aspects of property marketing.

Watching some staging shows on TV is not a bad idea either and might help to give you a visual sense of what good staging truly is.

Take your time and do not rush the project. Haste makes waste, especially for amateurs. Leave yourself enough time to complete the staging, before listing the home with a real estate agent.

Remember that the goal of staging is to make the home more attractive to your target buyer. If you still need help, consider hiring a home staging consultant. These professionals will help to get you organized and suggest exactly what you should do to improve the home’s appeal. You can still do all the work to save the money and consultant fees are generally the best value in the entire staging industry.
