Home Staging questions, answered by experts

It depends on the location of the home and, more particularly, the region’s climate. For example, a Florida homeowner can rest assured they won’t lose money at resale if their home doesn’t have a fireplace. However, buyers in Minnesota or other northern states known for frigid winters might offer a lower price if the home doesn’t come equipped with another way to stay warm.

Choosing a high-quality home stager can mean the difference between your home flying off the shelves or sitting on the market for weeks or months, and it all starts with verifying the stager’s experience. You can start by asking how long the professional has been in the business, and you should also ask for references and examples of past work in your particular area. Ask the stager about your options, including virtual staging, furniture rental, and other preparation services.

Professional home staging services can vary widely among properties and professionals, so most experts have customizable packages. Some common services home stagers offer include the following:

  • Furniture and decor rental

  • Set up and take down of rented materials

  • Professional interior design services

  • Decluttering for occupied houses

  • Exterior painting to improve curb appeal

  • Garden bed management to improve curb appeal

  • Minor repairs and home maintenance

You can connect with a professional home stager to see what’s included in their packages or ask for a custom service.

Every market is different, but the general consensus is that since a fireplace is a sought-after item in many homes, the removal of such a feature can negatively impact the value of your home. Therefore, if you plan on selling your house soon, don’t remove it. If you plan on living in your home for a long time, the removal of a fireplace can decrease your bills over time, as heat and air conditioning can both leak through a wood-burning fireplace’s chimney or the exhaust systems of a gas insert.

It’s always better to stage a home than to leave it empty. Staged homes don’t only sell faster than vacant homes—they also sell for a higher price. A 2018 survey of more than 4,200 professionally staged homes found that most staged homes sold for 6% to 25% more than their unstaged counterparts.
