What is Staging®?

Staging® prepares your house for sale by creating an interior that peaks immediate buyer interest.  It is imperative to make a good first impression when marketing your home.  By Staging® your property to appeal to the greatest number of people, you greatly improve your chances for a quick sale. Staging® assists you with selling your home for the best return on investment (or highest possible price), in the shortest timeframe in today's cooling real estate market. 

Vacant Staging®:

Empty houses take longer to sell and get lower offers!  We can make an empty house feel like a home to a potential buyer. Our furniture and accessories are always in vogue.  Adding furnishings helps define an empty space and actually makes it look larger.  Our style invokes an inviting ambiance that sparks the buyer's interest.  The Dovian Group specializes in Staging® vacant properties for sale.  We regularly add new furniture and accessories to our inventory.  We own our inventory, significantly reducing furniture rental prices. Pricing for vacant properties is dependant upon the homes size and level of Staging® services provided.
