The Importance of Staging Your Commercial Property

3 min read

Staging your commercial property can be an important part of helping sell or lease your commercial property. Having a well-staged commercial property can improve your chances of selling or leasing by 95% compared to properties that haven’t been staged.

Staging your commercial property can be a powerful way to make a lasting impression on potential customers and tenants.  It’s important to have an understanding of the target audience you want to buy or lease your commercial property, knowing this can set you on the right path to staging for the right potential customer. 

The exterior is the first impression potential customers see when arriving to view your commercial property, enhancing the exterior of your property so it has good curb appeal can create a positive association with the property.

It’s important to keep the property clean and well-maintained to establish a professional and welcoming appearance. Having a mown law, manicured landscaping, good lighting, and well-positioned and maintained signs are all things to enhance the exterior of your commercial property.

The commercial properties interior is just as important as the exterior, this is often the space where buyers or tenants will envision their business.  It’s best to ensure that the space is clean and clutter-free.

When you have an understanding of your target audience you can use furniture to showcase your space specifically for them, increasing the chances of securing a deal. Installing good lighting allows potential buyers or tenants to see what’s going on inside the space. Furniture layout is also an important aspect of staging the property, the appropriate arrangement can help aid a buyer or tenant’s decision.

Highlighting the amenities and selling points of the commercial property is also an important part of staging. This can include anything from the architecture, lobby area, outdoor space, and more.

Staging your commercial property is not just an aesthetic choice but a strategic investment that can significantly impact your property’s ability to be sold or leased. A well-staged property not only attracts potential tenants or buyers but also enhances their perception of the space, allowing them to envision their operation. Staging is a powerful tool that can drive high occupancy rates, better lease terms, and increased property value.
