Generally the seller pays the staging cost. Most agents commission
does not include money to prepare and stage your home for market.
You could say it's the agents’ responsibility to market your home, to
find potential buyers and to guide you through the legal
requirements. It’s your job to have the home clean, repaired and
staged to show properly.
Talk with your agent
There are a few agents who do include the cost of staging your home or will stage the home themselves. This
varies in different areas of the country and from agent to agent. At times there are some agents who may pay for
a staging consultation for the seller who wants to stage their home themselves.
