That depends. Many sellers would like others to pay. However, I defer it at closing. If it is not sold, seller is responsible.

I don't partner with any stagers. On a few occasions, the sellers hired a friend that was a stager or interior designer.

Good morning Cathy Fitzwilliam. There are several in this area that do. I see a lot of properties that need to be staged.

Cathy - I guess it would depend on the value of the property. I would say that anything over $500k, I would be willing to pay for some staging.

I like Sam's idea of deferring the payment until closing, and if the home does not sell, the home owner pays.

I seldom use a stager...The few times I did was almost a disaster. people still live in their homes and each time it was staged as a show piece. Hard to do with kids!
