When it comes to selling a home, first impressions matter. In fact, they matter a lot. A well-staged home can make all the difference in how quickly a property sells and, more importantly, for how much. At Tennessee’s Elite, we understand the power of staging and the significant role it plays in helping our clients achieve the best possible sale price. That’s why we go above and beyond to ensure every home we list is showcased in the best light possible.
According to the National Association of Realtors, 77% of buyers’ agents say staging a home makes it easier for buyers to visualize the property as their future home. In fact, homes that are staged typically sell 73% faster than those that aren’t. And it’s not just about speed—staged homes often sell for up to 10% more than their non-staged counterparts. These statistics make it clear: staging isn’t just a cosmetic touch-up; it’s a strategic tool that enhances a home's market appeal and boosts its value.
At Tennessee’s Elite, we know that staging is about much more than just arranging furniture and putting up some art. It’s about creating a welcoming, neutral environment that allows potential buyers to imagine themselves in the space. Buyers want to be able to picture their own lives unfolding in a home, and staging helps them do that by highlighting the property’s strengths and downplaying any weaknesses.
Our team has access to a comprehensive warehouse of staging pieces—from furniture to décor—giving us the flexibility to tailor each home’s presentation to its unique style. Whether it's brightening a dark room with light furnishings, creating a cozy atmosphere in a spacious living area, or strategically placing items to enhance the flow of the home, our goal is to make each listing feel inviting and polished.

Not every home requires the same approach. That’s why we take a personalized approach to staging, working with each seller to determine the best strategy based on the property’s features and target buyers. Some homes may need a full staging overhaul, while others might only need a few tweaks to highlight key areas like the kitchen, living room, or master bedroom. Whatever the case, we ensure that the staging reflects the property’s unique appeal and maximizes its potential.
Our experienced team personally handles the staging for each of our listings. We don’t rely on third-party services, ensuring that the staging process is seamless and that every detail is carefully curated. This hands-on approach is one of the ways we set ourselves apart—our sellers get personalized, professional staging that’s tailored to their specific needs.
When sellers invest in staging, they are often rewarded with a higher return on investment (ROI). According to the National Association of Realtors, the average ROI for home staging is around 8%. That means, for every $1,000 spent on staging, homeowners can expect to see an average increase of $8,000 in their sale price. For many sellers, that’s a small investment that can lead to a big payoff.
Additionally, homes that are staged are more likely to attract higher offers, as buyers perceive them as well-maintained and move-in ready. Staging can even help overcome the emotional barrier some buyers might have when looking at an empty or cluttered home. A staged home offers a vision of possibility, creating an emotional connection that is often the tipping point in a sale.
We know that selling a home can be stressful, which is why we aim to make the process as smooth and successful as possible. When staging is necessary, our team works with sellers to coordinate and implement the staging plan, ensuring everything is set before potential buyers walk through the door. Our warehouse of staging pieces is just one of the many tools we have at our disposal to ensure your home stands out in a competitive market.
By choosing Tennessee’s Elite, you’re not just getting a Realtor—you’re getting a full-service team that’s dedicated to showcasing your home in the best possible way to maximize your sale price. We take pride in going the extra mile to ensure your home is not only marketed effectively but also staged to perfection.
