Home staging in Las Vegas, NV- Question to Realtors…?
I’m thinking of getting into home staging for a business out here in Vegas- any feedback as to firsthand knowledge of the need and possible success of this business? Home staging is widely used on the east coast, but doesn’t seem to be known here. In this economy and with all the homes for sale, I figure the odds of getting work are higher if the value of staging is understood by the seller (many sellers do not want to lower their asking price and hence need to do something/everything to get the top dollar they’re asking for) (Home staging is, in a nutshell, basically decluttering/reorganizing/depersonalizing a home to create a picturesque atmosphere in order to get prospective buyers to feel like it could be their home, therefore bringing in top dollar for home sales to sellers and selling their home faster.)
Your intelligent thoughts/foresight are appreciated. Please reference your field of work/study in your reply also.
Thanks!!

Not the best economy for this now. But you are to be applauded for the spirit. They do stage homes here. Many of the foreclosures are staged. I visited some in 2007 when I purchased my current house.
I would hook up with a real estate agency, and when they put the house on the multi listing, that is when you want to being the process of placing the furniture in the house. Sorry, with all the vacancies now, the pretty decoration will not sell the house. But I do wish you lots of luck on your plan.
