Generally speaking, most people spend between $1,500 and $3,000 on preparing their home for sale. The least expensive way to stage is to hire a Professional Home Stager (me). My goal is to educate home sellers on the exact things they need to do in every room of the house to make it sell faster. If you wish, you can bring me back at my hourly rate to review and tweak your work before the first open house.

Like the cost, the amount of time it takes to stage depends on the size and condition of the house. Whenever possible, to allow time for repairs and/or painting, you should allow a month before your house goes on the market. During our Home Staging Consultation, I will give you a Game Plan. I can't begin to stress the importance of having a plan. Remember, buyers are picky in today's market. They need move-in ready, not a fixer upper. Anything that needs work, however minor, conjures up dollar signs in the buyer's mind.
If your house is already on the market, it can still be staged. If you are not having any success trying to sell for a fair price, consider implementing more aggressive staging at any point during the sales process. Your efforts can help you to achieve your goal of finding the right buyer for your house and moving on with your life.
If you are motivated, a Home Staging Consultation is perfect if you want to benefit from staging and are willing to put in some time and effort to maximize your profit from your home sale.
