We always recommend staging before going on the market. Staging early helps create a strong first impression, and avoids the need for price reductions later—which are often more expensive than the cost of Staging. Think of Staging as a strategic investment, not just an expense. Properties Staged first tend to photograph better, generate more interest, and sell faster and for more money than homes that sit vacant for weeks before being Staged. *REMEMBER, THE COST OF STAGING WILL ALWAYS BE LESS THAN THE FIRST PRICE DROP.
