  • What Does Professional Home Staging Cost?

    June 18, 2019 / No Comments

    Note: Credit for the bulk of this article goes to Home Matters.   Some of the article has been modified to reflect local information or my own comments. Staging your home gives potential buyers (or renters, for that matter) the chance to visualize each room as a livable, welcoming space. It’s hard to convey that feeling with plain walls and a bare open area. But what’s the real value of investing in professional staging? When you’re on the fence, it helps to know that you have options. Your home and budget can benefit from a couple of different setups. Vacant Home Staging Benefits Whether you’ve already moved all of your belongings and…

  • Are Home Staging Costs Tax Deductible?

    January 31, 2019 / No Comments

    Savvy home sellers and Real Estate Agents understand that in order to get offers and top dollar for their listings in the least amount of time, they need to professionally prepare homes with a professional Home Stager. Current statistics continue to show that Staged homes sell faster and for more than comparable homes on the market. Selling faster actually saves the homeowner money in the long run and they will likely make those dollars back on the sale. As an Accredited Staging Professional® with Stellar Staging Group, I have been informed that the cost of Staging®, may be tax deductible.
