[QUOTE="Larry Morgan, post: 2876527, member: 4676"] I certainly wouldn't keep the room shut off. Nothing screams red flag like an area of an house that isn't allowed to be viewed by potential buyers. Just like I don't bother getting interested in a house if they only have picture of the outside. That usually means I don't WANT to know what's in there. I'd probably pack it all up, not because of being ashamed, but because of the reality that staging can make all the difference in selling a home. It doesn't matter if you are going to take every decoration and scrap of furnishings with you when you leave, having a home have that feels warm, inviting, and most importantly, UNCLUTTERED can make all the difference when people walk through. It's a psychological thing. I'm not saying your space looks that way, but the current trends are big, open, light feeling spaces, and if there is anything in rooms that makes them feel dark, cluttery, closed, or otherwise it can be a detriment. When my wife and I sold our house, we packed up tons of stuff. Just the bare minimums to furnish the house and make it seem nice. I didn't have my reloading set up then, but my safe was hid the closet and I would have packed it up if I had it. That's the reason there are actually companies popping up that is the whole business. They work with realtors to stage houses for sale to do just this. They have their own inventory of furniture and accessories to use. Now, if your realtor is "judging" you for being a gun enthusiast, then you are well within your rights to them to hit the bricks. But I'd still pack up my stuff for the sake of the look of it. Just my .02. [/QUOTE]
