AI summary

Home staging can increase your property's sale price by 10-15% by styling it to highlight its best features. Sellers can either hire a professional stager or take a DIY approach.

Professionals provide furniture and decor, with costs typically ranging from $1,500 to $5,000 for a 4-5 week hire period. For a DIY sale, focus on decluttering, depersonalising, finishing small repairs, and styling both indoor and outdoor areas to create an inviting atmosphere for buyers.
