there are NO staging companies in my market.  So I went to Atlanta and took a few classes and try to help clients the best I can.

Not so far.

I have not.

Yes I hae and it worked like a charm. It can be effective at any price point, as there are so many "gradations" of staging.

I paid $500 for two consultations with the same Stager.  The Home Owner's thought I got took, didn't see the value in the finished layout, however, it sold quickly, much quicker than they thought it would.  Enough said. This home price was more than three quarters of a million.

I do all the time.  And from the price points of  from 100,000 -1,500,000.

If the home needs staging  it it gets it!  For me staging works! I am a big fan

On a most recent listing, I hired the stager to come and walk the property and yard with the sellers and me.  The stager made comments along the way and then emailed detailed notes for the sellers to use as a guideline to carry out her suggestions.

It was a couple hundred dollars and well worth it.

I lent the Murty patio furniture, some throw pillows, vases and potted plants to the cause.  These are items that have come up in some of my other listings, too.

Winston, very good question.

We have so few in our market place that I do not use them. I do use their principles though.
