Home Staging Gone Awry Or How Not to Have Fun Selling Your Home
This is really bad staging, but it’s nothing compared to the staging problems in this video on the Sellsius real estate blog . Here’s an example of bad decision-making and really bad home staging combining to create a terrible home selling situation. Something like what’s portrayed in the video rarely ever happens, but home sellers should take the right steps to minimize any problems.
The video proves the point that in real estate, as in life, many things can happen and many things can go awry. However, you can limit your risk by making sure you pick the right staging company to stage your home. In 99% of the cases, staging is a huge benefit to getting a home sold at the best price the market will bear. I always recommend staging a vacant home. I’ve got a list of great staging companies I know I can count on to bring quality furniture and design into an empty home, bringing more $$ to the closing table for a seller.
To help minimize problems and get the best service, seek the advice of a real estate agent who can recommend good staging companies or get references and photos of staged homes from other sellers. If possible, see homes staged by the staging company. Check the staging company out with the Better Business Bureau. Review the staging contract and contact an attorney if needed. Most staging companies do a stellar job, but be careful out there!
And, in case you haven’t figured it out, don’t let someone move into your home while your home is for sale! In the State of Washington, there could be a whole host of issues with landlord-tenant law. Certainly no way to have fun or get your home sold!
