Before: It’s difficult for potential buyers to envision a bedroom with no furniture. A frequent question I get is how much does home staging cost?

For Real Estate Agents and DIY-ers we provide Home Staging Consultations for just $249 plus GST.

After: This sophisticated, yet stylish bedroom is the perfect space for guests/teenagers. The investment in professional home staging can range from $750 to $5,000 which is less than a price reduction. Set Your Stage can provide solutions that will work within your budget to maximize your home’s sale. Contact us for more information.
