Furniture Choices: The Unexpected Obstacle to Selling Your Home

Los Angeles Real Estate Agent Reveals How Furniture Can Kill a House Sale Los Angeles, CA – May 15, 2025 – A Los Angeles real estate agent, Rebecca Chambliss, shared her insights on how the wrong furniture choices can significantly impact the sale of a home. In a recent video, Chambliss described a case where her clients' furniture was preventing their beautiful house from selling, despite her efforts to stage it effectively. "Sometimes, people value comfort over aesthetics," Chambliss explained. "The furniture might be functional, but if it's too big, too dark, or just doesn't fit the space, it can negatively affect how buyers perceive the home." Chambliss noted that many professional stagers will not work with occupied homes due to concerns about furniture use and pet damage. She concluded by stating that an empty home is often easier to sell than one with badly chosen furniture. This situation highlights the importance of considering aesthetics in the context of home selling, even for those who prioritize comfort in their personal living space.
