Benefits of Staging
Home Staging has been growing in popularity as a useful tool in real estate for the past several years. It can be difficult for a Seller to make the decision to stage a home as it can be an abstract cost. How can you correlate staging a home to the sold price, days on market, or increased value of the home being sold?
