Staging will benefit some more than others.
Your realtor should be able to guide you better since they have seen the home.

Trisha,

Yes you do. The more important questions is do you need to pay a professional.
My answer is mabe not.

Are you working with a real estate professional? If so (s)he can assist you to stage you home so it presents well.

To stage, less is more. You want folks to see the house, not your stuff. Lound colors are not the way to go so repaint with neutral colors if your walls are shouting out.

Light colored drapes are better than dark. Make sure everyone can see the fireplace...do not block it as it is a selling point.

Curb appeal is something most ofter overlooked. Also, look at the fornt door (paint) and the "welcome home" feel of the entryway.

Again, please use a real estate professional to assist you.

Best wishes,

Dominick Dina, Broker/Owner
