- Home staging is anything that will help the home seller make a home more look more attractive and appealing to potential buyers.
- Professional stagers typically start off with an in-home consultation. The price will depend on the condition and size of the home, and will also take the scope of work into account.
- Home stagers will stage with furniture and accessories found in the home or can bring in furniture, artwork and accessories to make a house look its best while on the market.
- When sellers want to use their own furnishings, the home stager will make certain recommendations that can enhance the spaces. Reducing clutter and opening up the rooms is vital to a successful listing.
- Some stagers offer contractor-consulting services. These include recommendations and solutions and pertain to choosing paints, tiles, carpets and any other project that needs attention. A good home stager will have a list of reputable resources, vendors and contractors that can work to get the house ready.
- Homeowners on a strict budget could opt to stage themselves. This do-it-yourself staging option still uses the services of the home stager on a consultation basis. You would use the professional stager to get a list of items to help make your home more appealing to potential buyers.
- Staging can take anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the scope of work required. However, the final staging event is usually about a day when the home gets it “WOW” affect.
