ā Why Home Staging Works
Home staging helps buyers emotionally connect with a space. Instead of walking into a blank or cluttered home, they see a place that feels clean, comfortable, and move-in ready. That first impression mattersāa lot.
According to the National Association of REALTORSĀ®, 81% of buyers say staging makes it easier to visualize the property as their future home. In todayās fast-moving Topeka market, those few extra minutes of attention from a buyer can lead to faster sales, higher offers, and fewer days on market.
