Why Should I Use a Professional Stager?

By
Real Estate Agent with ReMAX Realty Professionals - Marker Miller Team

A professional stager will handle every aspect of the staging process from beginning to end for the seller. This includes budgeting to designing the space and providing the rental furniture or facilitating the procurement of rental furniture from a furniture rental company. The stager also coordinates the installation and then the removal of the furniture upon the sale of the home.

What do they typically recommend in terms of your staging budget? Typically a professional stager recommends that you spend between 1-3% of the sales price of the home when preparing it to sell. The Real Estate Staging Association (RESA) recently conducted a study that showed that staged homes sell 85% faster than unstaged homes. If they sell faster in a tight market, that translates into preserving the maximum amount of your equity and more money in your pocket.

Think of staging like packaging. You are simply packaging your product to sell.
