Hiring a staging consultant is a very important decision, as the right person can add thousands of dollars to the price of your home. The wrong person can leave you with a house that stays on the market for months.
1. It is very important to have your home staged for your particular market. Home stagers should have knowledge of the real estate market and understand why people buy the homes they do.
2. Review the before and after photos of the home stagers work. Some programs supply portfolio photos for their students to use. Be sure to ask if the photos are actual jobs that the
stager has completed.
3. A professional home stager should have an Internet presence that allows you to review their work and read past client testimonials. It will also give you the opportunity to learn at little
about their background and past experience.
4. Be suspicious of a home stager that will offer a free consultation. True professionals expect to get paid for their expertise.
5. Do not base your decision on the lowest price. Saving a few dollars on can cost you tens of thousands if the stager doesn't give you the right advice.
6. Professional home stagers usually base their fees on time. For a consultation expect to pay anywhere from $200.00 for someone new, to $700.00 - $900.00 for a seasoned pro.
7. Home staging services can range anywhere from: a consultation where you receive their recommendations and you carry out the tasks on your own; to a full staging project that may include re-painting, minor property improvements, the stager bringing in rental furniture, accessories and art. An average home that has been staged can boost the selling price by $10,000-$50,000.
Have a great day!
