Question:
“Do you recommend getting a home staged before you sell?”
Answer:
I recently had a home for sale that was getting no action. But when the seller agreed to a small price adjustment and staged the home, we sold it immediately for full price.
And I’ve had other clients sell their homes shortly after staging them, without adjusting the price.
Why doesn’t everyone stage their home?
Typically a stager rearranges existing furniture and furnishings and/or temporarily brings in their own furniture and other “props.”
Many people just don’t want to pay the typical $2,000 to $5,000 fee for something so intangible. You don’t get any “thing” in return for the money spent on staging.
That is, unless you consider more money in your pocket at closing “tangible!”
