How much does it cost to stage your home in the Houston area?
First, you must understand the 3 different types of home staging:
1. Vacant Staging is used when the property is empty (ie. home owners do not currently reside in the home)
2. Occupied Staging is when the homeowners reside in the home
3. Consultations provide you with the information you need to improve the appearance of your home so that you sell the property faster and for more money.
Each type of staging mentioned above varies in cost.
Every $1 spent on staging results in a $4 return.*
