We flip about 20 to 30 houses a year and I have always been against staging. Maybe it is because it takes time and effort, but in my mind houses look better vacant than staged. However, We started staging in the last year and I have to admit it has helped the houses sell faster and possibly for more money.

The biggest thing I notice with the staging is the pictures and marketing looks so much better than it did before. I also notice that people are less picky about every little thing being perfect.

We have had this house for sale for a while and it is not selling. We are seeing a tougher market and houses are not selling as fast as they have been. We decided to take it off the market, have it staged, and have professional photos taken.

We ended up selling the house after the staging and I think it did help. We have been staging all of our other houses as well and that has helped them sell too.

This house has been for sale for over a month with no offers! We have had some great feedback but things have slowed down. We are hoping that staging our houses will make them sell quicker. We have never had to stage homes in the past, but we have to be flexible in changing markets. We are also having professional photos taken as well as the pictures I take on my phone may not do the trick anymore!

This is one of our 18 active flips we have going. We have a few under contract to sell, but a few that are not selling too. We took four houses off the market to get them staged and professional photos taken. We will update everyone on how the process goes and if it works!

  In today's episode, Jaren and I are going to talk about two competing ideologies about how to handle work. The 10X Rule and the 80/20 Principle.
