I recently polled a number of real estate agents on ActiveRain (a real estate blog site) to ask them about home staging, specifically what their clients were having trouble with when it came time to prepare their home for sale.

You can check out all the answers here, but we took the top four most requested and turned them into this video series to help agents learn more about the home staging process and how to start the conversation with their clients about using this ALL important marketing tool.

Home Staging Video: Cost vs. Value

The biggest question- you guessed it- the cost vs. value of home staging, so that’s the first question we answer in this 4-part series called Agent Meet Stager. In this video we discuss the average cost of home staging and it’s value based off of Real Estate Staging Association’s findings. 

Home Staging Video: How Does It Work?

The next question that real estate agents had questions about was what are the different types of services available. Since, home staging companies provide different options or focus on one particular service it can be a bit confusing to understand all the different services and price points a seller can utilize home staging. We go into detail here in the second video. Our company has a unique service for sellers the world’s first online home staging video course that you can learn more about here.

Home Staging Video: Creating a Warm & Welcoming Home

The last video in this series gives home sellers tips to begin to implement home staging. When selling a home two of the biggest feelings the space should portray are its warmth and welcoming greeting.
