Whether you have a small amount to spend on staging your home or are willing to spend up to 1% of your home’s value, you will be able to find a stager that meets your price limit.
Home staging can be broken down into 4 general price categories. Each stager may charge differently and may not provide each level of service, but this breakdown will give you an idea what to expect.
1. You can have the stager walk through your home and give you a consultation. The consultation ends with a list of recommendations that will help you show your house at its best. Such recommendations may be removing clutter, painting the walls, or hanging some art in specific places on the wall. This is typically the cheapest service and can range anywhere from $75 to $350 depending upon your location.
2. For a bigger fee, the home stager can come in and redecorate your home by changing around your furniture, removing pieces that do not fit, and even bringing in some of their own props.
3. Some home stagers will charge an hourly fee to do the cleaning, decluttering, and packing for you, as well as doing the redecorating.
4. And finally, some stagers will not only redecorate and bring in a few props, they will also bring in complete furniture suites with furniture from their own warehouse or from a rental store.
The cost of fully staging your home will depend upon the size of your home and the condition of your home. It will also depend upon whether the stager charges a specific fee per room or home or whether they charge by the hour. The more you ask of a stager, the higher the price will be.
No matter what price range you choose, home staging will make your home sell faster and for more money.
