"When you are selling your house, you
have to really look at it objectively and think
about it from the viewpoint of the house hunter.
Make minor enhancements to the house and maybe
hire a professional stager to come and arrange
your furniture. Staging is about
decorating your house for the buyers' taste, not
yours. A great place to start is with the
front of the home and the main entryway.
Home staging is designed to increase the
potential selling price and reduce the amount of
time the house stays on the market. It is
the #1 "to do" of our top 25 when selling your
home." - April 2008 HGTV
According to a Maritz Research staging poll,
