Staging FAQ’s-Will Staging My Home Get Me More Money for It?
“Can you guarantee me that I’ll get more for my house if I stage it?” This is a question that Home Stagers and Real Estate Agents are asked all of the time.
And, the truth is that I can’t guarantee that...no one can.
There are, however, 2 things to consider.
1.Over 90% of buyers begin their search for their new home online. That means their first, and possibly only impression of your house will be how it looks on the MLS or other sites like this.
Your house will need to look just as good in cyberspace as it does in person.
Go online and look at some of the listings. Make a note of which ones catch your eye, and which ones make you want to walk on by.
Which ones make you want to schedule an appointment?
No appointments=No offers=No Sale
2.Perceived Value
Your chances of maximizing the investment you have in your home increase if you show buyers why they’re buying it and why they’re willing to offer X for it.
Condition is key in the buyer’s eye and their offer will reflect what they see as the perceived value of the home.

Edit
You have the option or choice not to stage your home. And, yes it will sell.
When an offer is made, it will reflect the condition of your home and its value as perceived by the buyer.
Price+Location+Condition are the keys to selling your house. Location is what it is.. you can’t change that but you can control your Price (by listening to the suggestions of your Realtor) and Condition.
