[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A good stager will not remove your furniture for their furniture.  I used to intern for a staging company and we always worked with a seller’s furniture. We would just tell you how to rearrange things to improve flow, what needs to be pared down, and maybe even what NOT to do.  (There are some things sellers think they need to do that may not matter as much as they assumed.)  After a staging consult, which is usually not more than a few hundred dollars, the seller will have a roadmap to get the home ready themselves.

The houses we staged with staging furniture were empty to begin with.  Perhaps the seller moved out first or it was a rental property.  I don’t think Stagers are coming in and swapping out perfectly good furniture. That seems to be a misconception in this thread.[/quote]

I totally disagree with this comment. Whether we use the seller's furniture or not really depends upon the furniture they have. Is it dated, tacky, worn out and dirty? I personally think that 90 percent of the staging that agents are using today is hideous-cheap gray crap from Homegoods. But believe me when I say that good, tasteful staging will absolutely get you more money for your house. No question. [/quote]

Ed-stager again. Well we had an expansive view of what was acceptable.   Sure if a couch is totally stained or from 1960 maybe we advised differently but as a general rule, we tried to make use of a sellers stuff[/quote]
