I recently have been giving an 'extra' room when doing a large staging. Usually, it's a powder room or a breakfast room. My feeling is this - if I have the inventory sitting in my warehouse, and I'm staging 6 rooms or so, it doesn't hurt me a bit to do an extra room at no charge. This helps the clients and shows that we are truly wanting to help them sell the property. I do tell them that this freebie will last as long as possible, but that should I require the inventory that I will then break it down. They love this 'bonus' and are quite understanding when and if I do have to take it. I think it always pays off to go the extra mile; whether it be to make a quick check on your staged properties to ensure everything is in place, do a little dusting, or like this latest, add a room. I want to convey to all my clients that I have their best interests at heart and am really on their team to sell the listing.
