[quote=Anonymous]I agree it’s all basic advice. This is the fifth home we are selling so I felt like I had some experience. But they do make you feel like you might be missing out  and a home is the biggest investment for most people. We want to sell, sell quick and sell at a great price.

Staging is just a business. My guess is it started when people got the idea to flip homes. They had to put in some furniture to show what the rooms could look like. And somehow they connected with realtors to stage homes that would be empty when listed.

I remember a realtor or two telling me it’s harder to sell an empty home. Staging makes sense if someone has to move their furniture before listing or they have terrible furniture. But the rest of us get FOMO. I was worried my home wouldn’t sell if I didn’t pay for staging and “make buyers fall in love with it” but I also questioned her price given that all the big pieces were mine and I was decluttering and getting the place painted! I suppose she has nothing to lose by trying to sell her services as my realtor pays her for the consult. [/quote]
