Many homeowners are unsure which is better: selling their house while it's vacant or selling it while it's occupied. As always in real estate, the answer isn't simple. It depends on your family's lifestyle and your current living situation.

When you have an in-office appointment with our team, we will take a look at the best possible option for you. We haven't seen data that suggests vacant houses sell for more money, or vice versa. The value of the home shouldn't change whether your stuff is there or not! There are some exceptions, though. 

You can have a phenomenal, beautiful home, but if there is ratty furniture in it, it's going to affect the way buyers view it. The opposite is true as well; I have sold homes that need a lot of work, but because the owners decorated nicely and had quality furniture, buyers ended up really liking the home! 

Every home and every situation is going to be different. If your home is vacant, we highly recommend having it staged; we have great furniture and decor that will make your home show like new! If you're living in your home while selling, we can also come by and help you do a few things to get it looking its best before potential buyers come through the door.

Bottom line: you don't have to spend thousands of dollars to get your home to show well! We're here to make the process a whole lot easier! 

If you have any questions about the selling process, or if you would like to discuss your options, give us a call or shoot us a quick email! We would love to hear from you!
