Home staging: A complete guide for sellers
Get your property looking its beautiful best
AI summary
Home staging can increase your property's sale price by 10-15% by highlighting its best features. Sellers can either hire a professional stager or take a DIY approach.
Professionals typically charge $1,500-$5,000+ for a 4-5 week period, which includes furniture hire and styling. If staging yourself, focus on decluttering, depersonalising, finishing small repairs, and styling both indoor and outdoor areas to create an inviting atmosphere for potential buyers.
