You're right. Chances are you are going to sell you house. It is a matter of when and for how much. If your house does not sell quickly, it can actually cost you money for marketing, advertising, continued mortgage payments and taxes. More importantly, the longer your house sits on the market, the more likely your asking price will be reduced.

Even if your house sells quickly in a good market, it doesn't mean it sold for the amount it would have sold for had it been professionally staged.

The best time to stage your property is before it's listed and shown. Staging it first will allow your property to make the best first impression on potential buyers and realtors. Once a home has been on the market without staging, it is much more difficult to get agents and their buyers back into the home.

Remember, professionally staged homes can sell on average for 6% or more than non-staged homes!
