So after you decide that you are going to stage who will pay for it? I would say that about 70% of the time the homeowner pays for the service. After we build a relationship with a Realtor we find that they want every house staged because they see the benefits and then they pay for the staging or share the cost with the seller.

We encourage Realtors to have the client pay for the service up front and then reimburse the seller 50-100% on closing. This becomes a win-win for both the seller and agent because they save money on marketing because the home is in showcase condition so pictures and presentation come across excellent. And time is money so with the use of staging the property usually stays on the market less time and everyone gets paid faster.

Savvy Realtors and homeowners understand that staging a home really helps them to get the sold sign posted! So if you're not using a stager on your team do some interviewing of the companies in your area...it will be time well spent.

We have the largest staging company in Reno so we can provide a higher level of service and products than most other staging companies. We own all of the furnishings and accessories and we have a lot of them. And it's our products that always makes a house beautiful and unique. Best wishes for getting the SOLD sign posted!
