A short history of home staging.

[flippinout]

Actually home staging began in the 1970s when professional real estate agents started using staging as a tool to sell homes, but it didnt become a separate entity until in the 1990s.

Now a days DIY home staging is a very popular way to go, and with the advent of the internet, you can find much information on just how to stage your home for sale. Although a lot of people would much rather use a professional stager to do the job for them in order to get their homes ready for an Open House.

By either staging your home yourself or by having a professional do it, you will quite possibly be able to sell your home in one third to one half of the time that it would take an unstaged or empty home to sell.

Plus, by having your home staged, it is quite possible that you would be able to sell your home for from 10% to 15% more than if your home were unstaged or empty.
