Real Estate Design Expert Christine Rae: Home Staging Can Help Home Sellers Entrenched in Divorce

Oct. 12, 2011 - PRLog -- Christine Rae, Christine Rae, Founder and CEO of Certified Staging Professionals International Business Training Academy, recently published a blog on her website www.stagingtraining.com discusses the reason home staging might be the solution for the divorced home owner and his or her ex. The blog, titled “Maximize Property Value and Reduce Marital Stress” contends home staging can save couples from suffering the financial ruin of foreclosure, and better positions them for a fresh start post-divorce.

Rae writes, “According to statistics 50% of today’s marriages fail; no matter how you look at it couples who divorce in today’s society are faced with dividing their assets, and the largest asset to negotiate is the house. What used to be the most valuable asset in many marriages in today’s strained economy has become the most burdensome. Rather than fighting to retain it, couples are fighting against it, because of the debt load. The good news is it doesn’t have to be so stressful. By hiring a home staging company to navigate the preparation to ‘market ready’ the property, divorcing couples have found  they are able to resolve differences, resulting a faster sold property at a price higher than they thought possible.”

“If you are going through a divorce, the best way to maximize your property value is to sell your home at the best price possible. By working with a trained, real estate savvy home staging company, your property will be transformed to appeal to a targeted segment of potential buyers who are most likely to purchase. You can enjoy new beginnings for yourself, as your property attracts new buyers who can buy without the acrimony and stress of a divided household,” reports Ms. Rae.
