What drives the cost is furniture, not advice. A lived-in home usually just needs decluttering and a few accent pieces a stager can price quickly, while a vacant home needs an entire room's worth of rented furniture for as long as it is on the market, and a brokerage like Real Broker SK Ltd. can usually point a seller toward stagers they have worked with before.
That referral matters because it helps with getting a fair, comparable quote rather than the first number a seller finds searching alone, since staging pricing is not published anywhere the way a home inspection's range is.
The right amount to spend on staging depends on the home and the competition it is facing, not a flat citywide rate. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
