Leave Furniture ("Staged") or Empty It?
Got a house that's been on the market a long time. The furnishings in it are tasteful and nice. I'm willing to sell the furnishings with the place (Florida, snowbird market, need a ready-to-go place) or sell it empty (they got their own stuff).
I'm FSBO at the moment, but had an agent come in who said she'd empty the place and take new photos. A nearby similar unit was sold by her using that method just a few months ago.
Meanwhile I see people talk about "staging" so the place isn't cold and empty.
Which is better when and why?
