You’ve put in a lot of effort making your home “yours.” You have a large family, and you showcase them with pictures. Your son wanted his room painted black, so you obliged. And you think those plaid kitchen curtains are perfect. But now it’s time to sell your house because you’re changing jobs, downsizing or moving closer to family.

Anyone would be lucky to get your house, right? But did you know erasing “you” from your house can pay off? Did you know it could result in more potential buyers? Did you know going an extra step and enlisting a home stager can result in big returns in numerous ways?

Consider these statistics:

• Staged homes spend 83% less time on the market, according to com.
• The average staging investment is between 1% and 3% of the home’s asking price and generates a return of 8% to 10%, according to the National Association of Realtors.
• Sellers who spent $500 on staging recovered more than 343% of the cost when the home sold, according to com.

Convinced you need to declutter and depersonalize but don’t have the expertise? Meet Julie Radke, Home Staging Expert. Julie discovered her passion for staging while opening and designing new offices for her real-estate employers. She augmented her University of Nebraska–Lincoln bachelor’s degree in business and marketing with certifications from QC Design School in home staging, interior design and decorating to open Stage It!

Her team can consult with you, rearrange your furnishings, advise on repairs and maintenance, supply furniture if needed, even provide artwork in collaboration with a local artist.

Whether your home is vacant or occupied, Julie and her team can make it a showplace from curb to attic. They can help whether you live in Lincoln, the Omaha metro or eastern Iowa. This team can’t miss. It takes only seven to 10 seconds for a potential buyer to form an opinion about your house, so why wouldn’t you want to capitalize on that with an expert’s help?
