Capital Staging and Redesign
ProMatcher
Answer: One full day (8 hours)
Explanation: The time it takes to stage a home that is 2000 square feet depends a lot on the amount of work the homeowners have completed prior to the home stager completing the stage. The home should be de-cluttered, paint refreshed, professionally cleaned and repairs completed before the staging day is scheduled. Usually there is a re-schedule fee if the home is not ready on the day the staging is to take place. When all items to prepare the home have been completed (which the stager has communicated to the homeowners), the stage should only take 8 hours. It can be longer though if those items have not been completed or not completed well.
