TO STAGE OR NOT TO STAGE?
One
 Real Estate tool that seems to  polarize opinions on either side of the
 topic is staging.  Staging is  the addition and subtraction of 
furniture, and the use of decorating and  art through an interior 
designer.
The
 goal is to both modernize a  home and make it more appealing, but also 
to add an element of  neutrality that will allow potential buyers to 
envision themselves  living in it.  The drawback of showing your home 
"as is" is that is  still very much your space.  A potential buyer will 
feel like a visitor  to your home instead of being able to see 
themselves living in it.  
A Properly staged home can increase your sale price and raise the likelihood of receiving more offers.
