It is not staged. most rehabbers feel like they are 'saving" money by not hiring a home stager to stage their empty homes before listing it, but truth is, they are losing a lot of money. a GREAT stager would have been able to solve that storage issue you mentioned by making the buyers see HOW even an external storage could fit well into that house. a stager can literally transform a house making the buyers see themselves living there as soon as they walk in.lastly, did you tell your agent how much you wanted the house to be listed for OR he/she told you the approximate listing price based on realistic comps pulled, and speaking with other realtors in that neigborhood?

During my final year in college I stumbled upon the book, Rich Dad Poor Dad, in which my mind was blown away and transformed my thought process entirely in regards on how to go about life.
