It should be done BEFORE taking the Professional Photographs and placing the home officially on the MLS. What is the Cost? Well, that is a good question. A major cost of Professional Home Staging would be the cost of NOT doing it! What? I have seen situations though where the home was Staged AFTER having been placed on the market and the home sitting on the market for several weeks. That also costs more $$$. Then you have to redo the photographs and have the photos reposted on the…
