See the 25 Biggest Real Estate Mistakes report from HGTV. Read what Consumer Reports said in their September 2008 issue about Home Staging. "Whether it's a way to differentiate yourself in your marketplace or sales aid to give higher or faster offers, staging is a tool that all successful salespeople should add to their bag of tricks." -Enter, Staged Right. Choosing and Using a Professional Stager, Robyn A. Freedman, Realtor Magazine Online, 4/1/2003   "Home staging is a 1-2 day intensive house make over which creates just enough theater for the potential buyers to see how they could live in the house, whether or not you've ever lived that way." -Chicago Sun Times   "Statistics show that sale prices for the non-Staged homes averaged 1.6 percent higher than list; Staged homes sold at an average of 6.32 percent over list. For a home valued at $500,000, that would make a $31,600 difference." -Staging a sure bet to sell your house, Amy Wilson, The Orange County Register, 2/15/2004   "Home staging is about illusions. It's how David Copperfield would sell a house. It's beyond decorating and cleaning. It's about perfecting the art of creating moods. Staging makes your house look bigger, brighter, cleaner, warmer, more loving and, best of all, it makes home buyers want to buy it. Contrary to what you might think, it's about more than preparing the house for sale.  Staging is what you do after you've cleaned, decluttered, painted, made minor repairs; it's all about dressing the house for sale.  Professional stagers are highly skilled artists. They can take a blank canvas and paint a sensuous portrait without ever lifting a paint brush. Stagers possess the skills of a top-level designer and they create dramatic scenery that appeals to all five senses." -Dressing a House for Success - Staging A Home, Elizabeth Weintraub, About.com
