Burglars Targeting Unoccupied "Staged" Homes For Theft

The above link is a story every Realtor, Stager, and Homeowner should be advised. This world is changing and we have to change with it in order to survive.

So, now we are selling homes in a very competetive market and should always put our best foot forward. This includes staging "vacant homes" to command a maximum sales price. So is a home with "just furniture" going to be the best choice?

Although staging is without a doubt a good choice there are also other options that may be a better choice for some. Adding a Home Manager to the impact of staging a vacant home will increase your chances of a premium price sale. Homeowners gain by saving thousands of dollars on utility bills, inflated insurance premiums and other holding costs associated with vacant houses.

It's a fact: well-furnished homes, kept in show-to-sell condition seven days a week, sell faster - and at higher prices-than vacant properties.
