When it's time to sell your home, defining rooms for potential buyers is crucial.
Below is an actual MLS photo before staging followed by the current MLS photo after staging. There is a reason you are only seeing the fireplace in the first photo. The sellers were using this room as an office. The Realtor didn't want to photograph that portion of the room since they knew that is not how potential buyers would be living in the space.
The sofa/love seat area in the "after" photo was actually home to a large "L" shaped desk, upper wall cabinets and a bookshelf. (sorry, no photo available) While it was convenient for living, it was confusing to potential buyers.
Simply Staged Inc. repurposed furniture and accessories throughout the home to define the space. Bringing in a television and seating area from another area of the home left no question in the buyer's mind as to what the room's purpose was.

Wow what a difference in those photos! Great job! I don't know that I as a Realtor would have taken the photo that way. I would have shown the whole room no matter what unless it was extremely messy.
I understand what the Realtor did, and understand what Debra said, but the real answer is what the Realtor and homeowner did, HIRE A STAGER! Great job!
