Staging is about showcasing a move-in ready home that creates an emotional connection with the buyer. Once engaged, buyers will be more committed and possibly willing to increase their offer , and they may be less likely to change their minds+ at the last minute or ask for concessions. 82% of buyers' agents said staging helped their clients visualize the property as their home. Sellers should try to define each room with a purpose, maximize each space, ensure the home  is well lit and neutral, and maintain any outdoor spaces.
