My friend stages houses for sale. Her company now has a warehouse full of furniture, accessories, art etc. that is used as needed.

She prices by using some sort of square ft/rooms staged pricing.

When she first started, she had an agreement with a local furniture store to use their inventory, while crediting the furniture store in real estate listings. ea. ”Staged by Jane Doe Limited and Dincan Furniture Company”. After she built her own inventory she no longer is in partnership with them. If a home buyer wants to buy the furniture she will sell pieces.

every once in awhile she has a garage sale of items that no lnger fit her staging needs.

There is another company that has people move in to highend empty houses that have been hard to sell. The people move in with their own belongings. They live in the house til the house sells. (They also actually pay a reduced rent and for all utilities) The house next door to us used this service. The ‘house manager’ lived there for months, the house finally sold.
