The way that you live in your home and the way your home is marketed and sold are two different things.
What Is Home Staging?®
Staging® is the process of preparing any home for sale, regardless of price or location. The primary goal of staging your home is to make it appeal to the greatest number of buyers as possible. This means we need to convey a de-personalized and de-cluttered look, so that buyers can see the home and its features and imagine themselves in the home.
When someone gets ready to place their home on the market for sale, it becomes a product. Similar to a product on the shelf at your local store, the product has features and benefits as well as pluses and minuses, and competition. To compete with the competition in the marketplace, it must be priced right and look better than the other products. Buyers form an impression of a home within the first two to three minutes they are in a home. Sometimes a buyer does not even want to enter a home because of a lack of curb appeal. At Home Impressions of Mankato, we will work with Sellers to present their home in the best possible light.
We will make sure that your home has great curb appeal; that the best features of your home are accentuated and there is an easy traffic pattern throughout the home with the placement of furniture and accessories.

I’m Ready, Lets Get Started
We want to create an inviting sense of comfort so that buyers will linger in each room, giving them more time to imagine living there. We will "set the stage."
Why is Staging® Important to Sellers?
Today's buyers are busy people, usually they are a two-income family that are ready to move up in size or are relocating and need to quickly get on with their lives. They are looking for move-in ready homes that also give the message that the home was well cared for.
Your home is probably your largest asset. The ultimate goal of Staging® is to place your home in its best showcase condition, allowing it to sell for the best possible price in the shortest possible time.
How will Sellers Benefit?
- Your house looks better than the competition
- Most Staged Homes get top dollar based on comparable homes of equal value in the neighborhood
- Most Staged Homes have a shorter selling time than their competition, which directly relates to the price you are likely to sell a home for.
- Buyers are able to mentally move-in as they are not distracted by all the "stuff"
- Moving will be quicker because most of your personal belongs and collectibles are already packed
- You get to live in a clean, clutter-free, organized home which makes getting ready for showings easier
- You will have pride and confidence in your well-cared for house that is in showcase condition
