Would you agree that selling a home, especially in these economic times, is a stressful experience? There's usually lots at stake with money, time, energy and inconvenience. Who wouldn't feel a little pressure?
Stress causes people to lose sleep, overeat, and to manufacture an increase in the hormone cortisol, which is one culprit that causes people to gain weight, especially the dreaded belly fat. Bottom line: People gain weight when under stress.
Home Stagers can help relieve some of that stress. Your Stager takes the pressure off guessing what to do to prepare the house for sale. Their expertise and knowledge will assist sellers so they receive the highest return on their investment of time, money and energy. 
Home Stagers also reduce the inconvenience factor. Reducing the days on market is a Stager's specialty! Selling quickly reduces the amount of times sellers have to leave their house for another showing. And admit it, it's exhausting having to keep the house in showing condition day after day after day! A swift sale helps sellers get on with their life and into the new house.
A house that is Staged historically sells for more than a comparable un-staged house. According to HomeGain, Staging can bring a 319% return on the investment. Also, according to IRS Publication 523, the investment of Staging is considered an "advertising fee" and can be subtracted from any gain on the sale of the house, along with the agents' commissions and legal fees. Please consult your accountant for tax advice; you can see the publication here: Publication 523.
So, home sellers, do yourself a favor (and maybe a few pounds)! BEFORE you list, consult a Professional Home Stager to make sure your house catches the buyer's eye.
