A fresh new pair of decorative items and living room furniture, can be just what your house needs to give it that "wow" factor. With using staging techniques, it allows you to "dress-up" your rooms in certain ways that couldn't be previously done. Like making a 2nd living look like a game or movie room to really sell with an entertaining family. You can also make each room different, style wise (ie colonial, Victorian, rustic, western, etc.). Giving multiple ideas to potential buyers.
Some agents my have a connection or contract with a furniture company that will help aid in staging a clients home, which can be very beneficial to most sellers. Yet there are other ways to stage then just filling your home up with furniture.
You can simply remove any personal belongings repaint and update certain fixtures in your home. Some, if not most buyers, will walk into a home and see the family photos. This can make the buyers focus more on the family living there, and not actually picturing themselves in the home. When it comes to paint, go for neutrals (ie, gray, white, tan). Certain buyers may like your blue kitchen, but there is a majority of ones that will not, and immediately look past the fact that a simple repaint could make it more appealing. And with neutral colors, it offers a blank slate to any buyers that wish to paint rooms in various colors.
