House Staging Question Costs

[John Woodrich]

For those of you who chose to stage your homes for selling - what do you typically pay for this service?

We stage houses on our own and have been acquiring furniture for a while.  Currently we seem to have enough inventory to stage a couple houses.  My wife loves this part of the flipping process and we usually gain a couple extra pieces after each house.

Reason I am asking is that someone else wants her to stage their house and she hasn't gone through any training so we are really shooting from the hip.  We aren't talking about staging a high-end house, we have mid-level quality furniture.   Here is an example of one of our recently finished houses:

We plan to give this person a very good "friend discount" but eventually this stuff will start showing wear and tear and it costs money for our guys to move it around.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Wow! I had no idea staging was that expensive. My realtor is a close friend of mine, and he did it for me for free.  I will say though, that @Brian Varmuza's guy did a breathtaking job on that one place.
