I recently ran a workshop for a group of local Realtors. Early in the discussion, and before I have a chance to say it, the manager tells attendees:
“There isn’t a home out there that couldn’t benefit from a 2-hour home staging consultation.”
Agents are then encouraged to offer this service to all clients. Paying up front for the home staging consultation or reimbursing the cost at closing. With a speedier sale, and higher purchase price, this investment will easily be returned to the agent at closing.
What is a Home Staging consultation? Sometimes referred to as a “working” consultation, these meetings generally last 2-4 hours. During that time, Susan walks through your home with the critical eye of a potential home buyer, proposing design and decorating modifications that are unique to every space.

Below is a great example of no cost staging achieved during a 2-hour agent paid home staging consultation. An offer is accepted within two weeks of listing.
