Selling your home isn’t (always) just about price. It’s about buyer perception and emotional connection.

In this episode of Talking Realty, Glen sits down with professional home stager Stacey Bradford of Intertwine Design to break down one of the most overlooked parts of the home selling process: staging.

If you’re on the fence about staging, this episode brings data and real life examples that show exactly why buyer’s resonate more with a staged home and how that emotional response can lead to faster sales and better offers.

Glen and Stacey cover:

  • The difference between decorating and staging
  • Why buyers emotionally connect with certain homes
  • Occupied vs. vacant staging strategies
  • DIY staging tips you can use immediately
  • Why staging often costs LESS than a price reduction

Plus, Glen and Stacey weigh in on AI staging and discuss the psychology of buyers, how clutter and oversized furniture sabotage showings, and why “you can’t get your first 30 days back on the market.”

Whether you’re a FSBO seller, preparing to list with an agent, or just trying to maximize your home’s value, this episode is packed with practical advice that can help your home sell faster and for more money.
