How much does it cost to hire a professional stager to do my home and who pays for it, the seller or the realtor?
Staging costs vary according to the size and condition of the home. For example, the price range for a smaller home in relatively good condition may require an initial consultation, proposal of work and a half-day staging package would run about $500-$750a very small percentage of a homes value. Each home is different and the fees will vary. Regarding payment of fees, sometimes, the home seller hires the professional stager and other times a real estate agent may invest in home staging on behalf of the seller. Just remember, it pays to stage!
