Five Star Staging's
Answer: Flat fee based on hours and rental fees
Explanation: Usually, home stagers have a flat fee for an occupied consultation (typically 2 hours), as well as for whole and half-day occupied staging services. Stagers who provide vacant staging services usually bid according to the size of the home and the scope of the staging (all rooms or just main rooms, for example). They calculate the number of hours it will take (based on the number of rooms or square feet) and add the calculated cost of the furniture rental and delivery fees.

Poppin' Properties
Answer: Flat fee based on hours and rental fees
Explanation: I can't speak for every stager because each stager may charge differently; however, I would say most stagers charge a flat fee for their consultations and their staging days. They will typically have packages set up depending on what is needed in the home. If there is more work needed, shopping, or it's a larger home, then there is usually an hourly charge associated with the cost. If there is furniture and accessories being rented, that will incur additional costs as well if it's not already factored into the base fee. Again, pricing will depend on the stager.

Simply Divine Staging & Design
Answer: Flat fee based on hours and rental fees
Explanation: Most stagers will charge a flat fee. Usually they will start with a consultation if it is an occupied home which is usually around $250-$300 and you should expect to receive a full staging report for that with what needs to be removed from the home and any suggestions for improvements. The staging will be either a 1/2day or full day staging and is usually a flat fee, these can vary in price. The rental of any furniture and decor pieces will be on top of that. Vacant Home staging is usually done as a package as there is no report to write in the beginning and is usually based on the size of the home and how many of the rooms they want to stage.
