I am just curious: when sellers or realities stage a home with towels, plants, nick-nacks…etc., what happens to those things when the house is sold? Do they belong to the seller or does the buyer actually take them back for other staging purposes?

Just curious…thanks!
they belong to whoever provided them. if the seller hired a staging company, the staging company owns them probably – buyer certainly does not get them – you should be moving into an empty house unless you bought a house including furniture, etc ( I did that 2 yrs ago) – there wasn’t anything "staged" though
Are there necessary certifications and/or training? What else do I need to know about this business? Any books that can be recommended? Websites? Thank you!
You need to know how to explain to people that their kids’ art has to come off the fridge, and painting over the purple wall in the living room is well worth the money. Anyone can pack up people’s stuff and clean off shelves and garages. Psychology and tact are the skills that are the hardest to master, especially when it comes to religious and/or ethnic themes and items. Negotiation skills will serve you well, and an understanding of different personality types, biases, and traditions.
Connections with realtors will be almost mandatory. Work for free for 6-8 homes to get some experience and references if you do not already have a customer base that is easily reachable.
We are buying a model home and the builder asked us to make an offer on any furniture in the house. We have no idea how much (or how little) to offer.
From experience, I can tell you that the builder paid 25% under the going rate for that furniture. He would like to get that back, but would be willing to take a small hit since it is now slightly used for display and he would have to pay for it to be moved and stored. He would be happy to get half of what that identical furniture is going for at a Haverty’s or Rooms to Go in your area of the country. If he needs the money, and they all do right now, he will let it go for less.
Reasonable offer would be 25% of current retail price for identical furniture. Negotiate from there if you really like it.
