My agent told me to stage my office as a bedroom, best call ever
When I listed my 2BR condo in Bellevue last spring, I had it set up as a home office since I work remote. My agent walked in, looked at my desk setup, and said "nobody buying a 2 bed wants a 1 bed with a computer room, move your mattress in here tomorrow." I thought it was silly, but I rented a cheap storage unit for $75 a month and dragged my bed in there. Within 4 days I had 3 showings booked instead of the 1 I got in the first week. The buyer told me later she specifically wanted that second bedroom for her kids, my setup made her skip my place otherwise. Has anyone else had a listing where the "obvious" use of a room ended up hurting the sale?

Sold my last place faster once I turned the "man cave" back into a plain bedroom. Buyers just can't picture their own stuff in a room that's already set up for someone else's hobby. That second bedroom label does way more work than the actual square footage. Staging it as a flex space or office just makes people think the place is smaller than it is.
