Professionally staged homes stay on the market an average of 80 percent less time than non-staged homes. Eighty-two percent of real estate agents recommend home staging to their clients, according to HomeGain.com®, which surveyed over 1,000 real estate agents across the United States. Ninety-eight percent of agents polled recommend sellers clean and de-clutter their homes before placing them on the market.
Are you one of these statistics? If so, UNITS can help!
“One of the very first things I tell my clients is they need to de-clutter their homes,” said Jeanne Westmoreland, Accredited Staging Professional Master® (ASPM®) and President-Elect of the International Association of Home Staging Professionals®. “Sometimes that means removing excess or mismatched furniture, childrens’ toys, and family photos or mementos. That said, we don’t want them to simply store it all in the attic, basement or garage, so we refer them to preferred portable storage partners like UNITS Mobile Storage, so they can store it off-site.”
UNITS Mobile Storage serves as an affilitate of the International Association of Home Staging Professionals, partnering with the Atlanta chapter to offer its clients a quick, cost-effective solution for de-cluttering homes. UNITS, the most watertight and structurally secure mobile storage containers in the industry, are available in two sizes (8' x 8' x 12' and 8' x 8' x 16'). The UNITS warehouse offers both heat and air conditioning so valuables such as antiques, photographs and candles remain safe from potentially harmful outdoor temperatures.
UNITS delivers its containers right to your door for easy, ground level loading. Once you've filled the storage UNIT, simply call to have it transferred to the warehouse, where your container will remain in secure storage until you call for delivery to a new location.
UNITS certainly recognizes the importance of home staging, especially in this economic climate. With so many homes on the market, each one has to be ‘perfect’ in order to stand out to potential buyers. UNITS storage containers provide you with a convenient and hassle-free way to de-clutter your property so your professional stager can focus on staging your home for a quicker sale.
Westmoreland added, “Considering 94.8 percent of ASP® staged homes sell on average in 37 days or less, compared to 182 days for non-staged homes, the quickest way to begin the staging process is to de-clutter the home. It’s just a fundamental first step.”
