According to the National Association of Realtors<\/em><\/a> (NAR), 82% of buyers\u2019 agents said staging a home made it easier for a buyer to visualize the property as a future home<\/strong>. Additionally, almost half of buyers\u2019 agents said home staging had an effect on most buyers\u2019 view of the home in general. Homes that are staged typically sell faster and for a higher price because they help potential buyers<\/a> more easily picture their new life in the house.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nWork with an Agent To Determine Which Updates To Make<\/strong><\/h4>\n
