[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My home was stage but I don’t think it looked staged. Main thing was we cleared a lot of stuff out will still looking lived in.  We still had clothes in the closets and dishes in the cabinets, just a lot less. We also removed everything from closet floors.  Our house look fabulous and I think it helped sell the house.

This isn't staging. This is decluttering.

Realtors have convinced us that "staging" includes decluttering and touching up the paint. But in fact these are very simple things people have probably been doing since our forefathers landed on these shores (and maybe back in the Old Country before that).

Your realtor really has no role to play in decluttering, apart from recommending you do it (as if you didn't already know to declutter) and pointing out that being able to see the floorboards makes a room look larger, and so on. Decluttering doesn't have to cost you anything, unless you rent a storage unit (vs. giving stuff to the Salvation Army or storing it in your parents' basement). There's certainly no reason to pay a realtor 5% to tell you what you already know about the benefits of decluttering, under the misapprehension that this is valuable advice about "staging."[/quote]
