Staging is a complex process with many components involved, including dedication, effort, good design and project management. Having a good inventory of furniture and accessories is also a big plus. But let's start from the people we need to have on the project beyond the staging team. .
We need movers to move staging to your destination -
How Much Does a Local Mover Cost?
Moves are considered local when they are within 100 miles and stay inside the state of origin. Local movers generally charge around $25 per hour, per mover, broken into quarter hours. Moving time varies according to the size of the unit, amount of contents and whether the movers are hired to load and unload only or also handle the packing.

Moving time varies according to the size of the unit, amount of contents and whether the movers are hired to load and unload only or also handle the packing.
Typical costs:
- A studio apartment takes two movers--at $25 each per hour--an average of 2-4 hours to load, transport and unload for a price of $100-$200.
- The same service for a 900-square foot two-bedroom apartment with three movers will take 4-6 hours and cost $300-$450.
- Price for a three-bedroom, 1,750-square foot house using four movers who load, transport and unload, runs $600-$900 and takes about 6-9 hours.
We save you money on moving – we own our company truck, but we do hire people to load and unload.
Does it worth to hire a stager?
Some consumers wonder if the hassle of rearranging rooms, buying new accessories and furniture, and ensuring that the house is always ready to look like a designer showroom is worth it. MortgageNewsDaily.com indicates that most homes that are professionally stage will end up bringing in roughly 3% more than the anticipated price. This means that a homeowner who dedicates $3000 to a home staging project, and who sells their home for $500k, will have earned $15000 for their effort. Clearly, this indicates that such a project is well worth the expense.

Furniture and accessories rental from a budget friendly company...
If you have to rent for more than 30 days, add $1587.66. This package doesn’t include setup fee or removal fee. Here is the catch: Say, you would like to rent a couch for one month for the price of $100.00. The problem is they want you to rent it for 3 months minimum, so your rate would be $300.00 no matter what! Or take a dining set with a medium size table and 4 chairs. Cost would be $80.00 a month. However, minimum rent is 3 months, communicating to $240.00 price tag. Our staging is good for 45 days. As a rule, houses we stage sell much faster. If there is a problem and house did not sell in 45 days, we would charge $30.00 a day rental fee for the entire staging, payable from the close of escrow. This is because we own our furniture inventory. However, payment becomes due if listing is cancelled or been withdrawn from the market.
Example of our charges –
Price per sq.f. staging is from $1.25 - $1.50 (set up and removal fee)
Cost of truck and movers varies from $500.00 to $700.00
Price per sq.f. staging is from $1.25 - $1.50 (set up and removal fee)
Cost of truck and movers varies from $500.00 to $700.00
How to calculate our cost?
Your house is 1,200 sq. f.
Multiply this number by $1.50 = $1,800
Move in and out cost is $500.00
Total cost for 1,200 sq. f. home is $2,300 for 45 days all inclusive. Cost of staging would also depend on how easy it is to access the property. 1-story homes with easy access generally cost less than apartments with stairs and small elevators to squeeze the furniture in. Difficult parking on the street would also add to the price, because of unloading staging items would take much longer time and efforts. Bottom of line – no houses are the same, and all of them require individual estimate.
Good news – we try to work within a reasonable budget, and open to negotiation.

Summary:
What does it take to make it happen, and what is it in a price consideration?
- Once house is sold, there is a removal work: packing furniture and accessories, loading truck, patching holes and touching walls up with paint (if paint is left for us in the house); Leaving house in the same condition we’ve received it prior to the staging
- Moving furniture to our warehouse location, unloading and checking inventory back.
Rinse and repeat!
