Bill S. says, "We spoke with a few staging companies (including those recommended to us by our realtor) and ultimately we chose The Bay Area Staging Company which I had found on my own .... and wow, we are sooo happy that we did! The team was extremely responsive and flexible during the entire process. Their staging of our four floor townhome with outside space was stylish, modern and fresh. Our agent received numerous compliments from buyers during the open houses on the staging and no doubt a big reason we received a contract soon after listing. Our realtor is now adding The Bay Area Staging Company to his list of recommended staging firms too :) Well done and highly recommend to all!" Read more

Helen C. says, "oey Lang from Downs Design Group helped us transform our 1951 San Francisco house into a cozy, comfortable retreat that we wanted all along. Joey helped us pick the furniture, floor and wall surfacing materials, paint, and accessories throughout a three-bedroom, 2000 sq ft house. Joey is really great with details and he has an amazing eye for the design. Working with him was easy, and although it took a while for the entire project to complete (about 9 months), we couldn't be happier with the result. Joey was also great about incorporating low cost items or our existing furniture, where budget did not allow for higher end items. Early on, in the project, Joey clearly understood the color and the style we were going for, so the items that he was proposing usually were right on spot. If you are looking for a designer, no matter if the project is big or small, I would highly recommend Downs Design Group's services." Read more

Your Home Staging questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on HomeGuide.

How much does home staging cost?

Home staging costs $1,500 to $4,000 on average for a standard home, depending on the home size and style, local market, and whether the home requires rental furniture. 

  • The cost to stage a house with your own furniture is $1,000 to $3,000.
  • In comparison, staging an empty house with rented furniture can cost $3,000 to $6,000+.

Most home staging contracts run for 30 days. Extended the contract costs another 10% to 30% of the initial contract fee for each additional 30-day period. For example, if the initial staging costs $4,000 and the house does not sell within the first 30 days, you'll face additional fees of $400 to $1,200 for each 30-day extension.

What is home staging?

Home staging involves preparing your home for sale by making it appealing and inviting to buyers. Staging includes strategically arranging furniture, accessories, and décor to give the home an up-to-date and attractive style.

Professional home stagers have the knowledge and skills to arrange the décor in ways that accentuate your home's best features while downplaying aspects that might turn off potential buyers. Stagers also removes most personal items from your home, which helps buyers to envision how the home will look with their own personal touches and style.

Is home staging worth it?

Studies from several real estate associations have shown that home staging is worth the investment. Professionally staged homes sell for a higher price than non-staged homes and spend less time on the market.

According to the International Association of Home Staging Professionals (IAHSP), staged homes sell for an average of 6% to 12% more than the list price, with some staged homes selling for 20% more.

The National Association of REALTORS® 2023 Profile of Home Staging also highlights some of the benefits of home staging:

  • 34% of buyers increased their offer on a staged home, with some offers increasing by over 10%.
  • 48% of staged homes spent less time on the market than non-staged homes.
  • 81% of buyer's agents said home staging made it easier for buyers to visualize the property as their future home.
  • 40% of potential buyers were convinced to book a showing after seeing photos of a staged house online.

Who pays for home staging?

The seller typically pays for home staging. Most realtors do not cover the cost of staging. However, some realtors may be willing to cover the cost of the service in exchange for a higher commission on the sale price.

Are home staging costs tax deductible?

Yes, home staging costs are tax deductible if the house sells. The IRS considers the cost to stage a house qualifies as an advertising expense. However, if your home does not sell and is taken off the market, you cannot deduct the home staging costs.

Why is home staging so expensive?

Home staging is expensive because it often requires renting furniture and bringing in décor and accessories to maximize your home's visual appeal. The staging company may need to rent the furniture for 30 days or more, depending on how long your home remains on the market.

A professional home stager must also be familiar with the local market, understand what appeals to likely buyers for your home, and be current on the latest design trends.

Staging can increase your home's sale price and help it sell more quickly, so professional staging is often worth the added cost.

Can I stage an empty house?

Yes, you can stage an empty house. In fact, staging a vacant home often increases the sale price because it helps buyers to more easily envision themselves living in a fully furnished space.

What questions should I ask home staging companies?

When evaluating professional home stagers near you, ask these important questions:

  • How long have you been staging homes?
  • What experience do you have staging homes in my local market?
  • Are you certified by the Real Estate Staging Association (RESA) or the International Association of Home Staging Professionals (IAHSP).
  • Can you provide references?
  • Do you have a photos of your past home staging work?
  • What is your approach to home staging?
  • Do you offer an initial consultation, and if so, how much do you charge?
  • Which services are included in the staging fee?
  • Do you offer any add-on services for an extra fee?
  • Do you provide partial-home staging services for only specific rooms?
  • Do you provide furniture and décor, or will I need to rent those items separately?
  • Can you work with my existing furniture and décor, or will I need to remove everything from my home?

How can I find the best home staging company near me?

Professional staging can boost your home's sale price and decrease the time it spends on the market. To ensure you make the most of your investment, follow these tips to find the best home staging companies near you:

  • Get quotes from at least 3 home staging companies with experience working in your local real estate market.
  • Ask your realtor to recommend staging companies they've worked with successfully in the past.
  • Choose a home stager certified by the Real Estate Staging Association (RESA) or the International Association of Home Staging Professionals (IAHSP).
  • Browse their reviews on HomeGuide and Google.
  • Get a written contract that details the staging services included in the fee and any potential extra costs that could come up.

Very affordable yet very professional and efficient! Worth the business, thank you Roxana!
Modish Interiors
Helen Y.
The staff consisting of Laurence and Vivien have been wonderful to work with. All my needs have been met and even more than what I can imagine. They are very flexible to my needs and wants--they don't impose anything. They are also trustworthy; I just gave them the keys and they worked without me around. Vivien first assisted me in choosing the right color for the painter to use. She made sure it fit with the style of the house. Then she made several trips to make sure she'd bring the right furniture to make this house as attractive as can be. Then she brought all the furniture and staged it to perfection. Her staging accentuates the strengths of the house in ways I never thought of. When I looked at the house afterwards, I thought, "I never noticed that wood paneling before! Or how bright this room can be!" My whole family feels using Laurence and Vivien was an outstanding choice.
