[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had already moved out of our house before it was put on the market in Bethesda in April. We paid a relatively modest fee (~$2,200 - we had two quotes and one was $1k more for the same service) and they filled two floors with furniture and left the basement empty. We were laughing because the stagers used our space better than we did. In the end we were under contract in 48 hours w/o contingencies and $100k over list. Did staging make a difference? Probably IMO. The house looked great in pictures and  I think it helped us get to $100k over ask instead of maybe 80 or 90k over. [/quote]

Exactly our experience. We paid about $1000 to stage our small, dark, and inspiring townhouse. The stager was one that I knew because a friend had bought a house that has been beautifully staged by her.

She did it an amazing job, and it looked much better than it ever did when we had lived there! We ended up with a bunch of offers and selling much more above list than I think we would have. No regrets.

(we had also paid to repaint, but that desperately needed doing so I don’t really count that as staging, more catching up on deferred maintenance)[/quote]
