Staging, Is it Really That Important

[Joseph Canini]

I have come to learn after several houses that staging a house to sell or rent is very important. Do you agree? I mean the house can look perfect but with out furniture or pictures the house looks incomplete and the seller or renter can envision living there. 

Being new to staging i was hoping i could get some advice on here to assist me on this:

1. How much staging should I do?

2. How much should i budget for staging?

3. Anyone know of any stagers in San Antonio?

Any and all info will be greatly appreciated.
