Have you ever seen a new home builders model home?
If yes, then chances are, the home you just saw was "staged."
Professional Home Builders builds real estate, knowing that they can sell their work for a higher price when they stage it. It's almost like when you're buying a used car, sellers stage it with a new car set so they can sell it at a higher price. The reason that they do that is to appeal to your emotions.
If you're a home seller and you're considering if you're going to stage your home or not, the answer is, if you can, then yes, do it!
Suppose you have the money to invest in it. In that case, it's more likely to get a greater return on the backside of it when you sell it while presenting it in a very furnished condition. So it would be best if you considered factors like kids, maybe some toddlers, maybe some teenagers, or perhaps a husband with Cheetos bags lying all around the house when you showcase your home.
Remember that we all live in our homes, and it will not always be pristine; some are better than others. If you think that it would be better to stage your home when showing it, that it would benefit you and you will be able to make more money, do it. Just understand that you have to keep it staged during the marketing period of your home.
