Staging a home before listing it for sale helps it sell faster and for a higher price. Professional home stagers inspect the home, remove unnecessary items, organize and decorate it to appeal to buyers. Statistics show staged vacant homes sell on average in 26 days versus 120 days for unstaged homes, while staged occupied homes sell in 45 days versus 102 days. Stagers know how to emphasize features to attract buyers and present the home in its best light within budget.
