Morphology

stager = stage (semi-transparent) = stage + er

The relation to the verb 'stage' is clear, but the real-estate sense is a specialized extension rather than a fully general pattern.

Etymology

The word stager for a person who styles homes comes from stage ('to set a scene') and the ending -er 'someone who does'. A home stager 'sets the scene' in a house to make it look nicer for buyers.
