Plume is always gathering data on the benefits of home staging.  Many resources are saying the same thing:  Home Staging is a great investment.  Here is another report from HomeGain’s 2011 Report:

Plume Home Staging prepares your home to look its best before the first buyer walks through the door, allowing you to take full advantage of the initial burst of interest that occurs when your home is first listed.
