Creating Spaces Buyers Want to Call Home
Unlock Your Home’s Full Potential: The Power of Home Staging
Selling a home is more than just a transaction—it’s about creating an emotional connection with potential buyers. At Viva Habitat, we believe that every home has a story to tell, and home staging is the key to making that story come to life. Whether you're a homeowner looking to sell faster, a realtor aiming to enhance your listings, or a property developer seeking to showcase your investment, strategic home staging can make all the difference. But what exactly is home staging, and why does it matter? Let’s dive in.
Why Home Staging Matters
Imagine walking into a home that instantly feels warm, inviting, and beautifully curated. The space flows effortlessly, allowing you to envision your future life there. This is the power of home staging.
Studies show that staged homes sell up to 73% faster and for a higher price than non-staged homes. In today’s competitive market, buyers often make a decision within seconds of stepping through the door—or even before, based on listing photos. A well-staged home not only attracts more interest but also maximizes its perceived value, helping sellers achieve a faster and more profitable sale.
As the industry has evolved, so too has the expertise required to stage effectively. Monika Griffith, founder of Viva Habitat, brings over 25 years of experience in home staging, interior design, and styling across the USA, Germany, and Spain. Her deep understanding of buyer psychology, design trends, and real estate marketing allows her to tailor staging strategies to different markets, ensuring each property is positioned for success. Additionally, Monika attends industry furniture fairs twice a year, staying ahead of emerging trends. With Viva Habitat's online furniture and decoration shop, she has access to a vast pool of styles, including sustainable options, ensuring a perfect match for any home. With our expertise and market insight, we help properties stand out both online and in-person, giving them the competitive edge they need to sell.
Our mission is simple: to transform homes into irresistible, market-ready properties that captivate buyers at first sight.
What Sets Viva Habitat Apart?
Unlike simple home decorating, staging is a strategic process designed to highlight a home’s best features and minimize any weaknesses. At Viva Habitat, we tailor our staging approach to suit each property’s unique characteristics and target audience.
🔹 Occupied Home Staging – Perfect for homeowners who are living in their property while selling. We work with existing furniture and decor, making strategic enhancements to create an inviting atmosphere that appeals to buyers.
🔹 Vacant Home Staging & Show Home Styling – Empty spaces can feel cold and uninspiring. Our furniture and decor packages transform vacant properties into warm, stylish, and move-in-ready homes.
🔹 Luxury Home Staging – For high-end properties, we curate sophisticated, premium staging solutions that reflect the elegance and exclusivity of the home.
🔹 Realtor Partnerships – We collaborate with realtors to provide professional, realtor-funded staging solutions, helping them elevate their listings, reduce time on the market, and increase buyer interest.
Every staging project is approached with precision, creativity, and a deep understanding of buyer psychology to ensure maximum impact.
The Viva Habitat Home Staging Process
Our proven process ensures that your property is staged efficiently and effectively, with minimal disruption to your daily life.
✅ Step 1: Consultation & Assessment
We start with an in-depth walk-through to assess the home’s strengths and areas for improvement. For occupied homes, we provide specific recommendations on decluttering and arrangement to enhance the flow and functionality of each space.
✅ Step 2: Hands-On Staging & Styling
Once the plan is in place, we get to work transforming your home. Whether it’s optimizing furniture placement, adding stylish decor, or bringing in rental pieces to complete the look, our team ensures that every detail is carefully curated to create a show-ready space.
✅ Step 3: Professional Photography Preparation
First impressions happen online! We advise homeowners and realtors on how to best prepare for professional real estate photography to make the listing stand out.
✅ Step 4: Viewings & Maintenance Tips
We don’t just stage and leave. We equip homeowners with simple strategies to maintain the staged look for viewings while still living comfortably in their space.
Why Realtors & Property Developers Love Staging
Realtors and property developers know that staging is a powerful sales tool. A staged home helps potential buyers connect emotionally, making it easier for them to imagine themselves living there.
For Realtors: Staging enhances listing photos, drives more traffic to open houses, and helps homes sell faster and at a higher price. It also strengthens your reputation as a professional who invests in presenting properties at their best.
For Property Developers: Show Home styling creates a lifestyle buyers aspire to, increasing interest and securing faster sales. A well-staged show home can be the difference between a quick sale and a stagnant listing.
