Advertising costs are part of selling a home. Staging is part of advertising. In order to bring furniture into the house, you would have to remove other furniture or you would be defeating the purpose.
The above-quoted statement appears to be eminently reasonable and logical, regardless, and it is a position that would most likely be difficult to dispute (i.e., how else would a house on the market be staged if the current owner's contents are still on the premises?).
I also believe, as do others apparently, that if the contents were moved for personal reasons, for example, to a new location being used as a residence, then the moving costs could not be considered part of the staging process.
