Home staging is the preparation of a private residence for sale in the real estate marketplace. The goal of staging is to make a home appealing to the highest number of potential buyers, thereby selling a property more swiftly and for more money. By showing attention to detail, understanding the buyer’s desire to visualize themselves living in your home, and installing furnishings that enhance the positives of the home, staging can dramatically increase the saleability of your home.

The numbers don’t lie when it comes to the value of staging:

Staged homes sell 88% faster and for 20% more (Realtor.com)

84% of buyers report that photos of a property are the most useful information they use to choose the homes they want to tour (National Association of Realtors). We know how to optimize your home for photos and we work with the best photographers to make sure that your home is one of the five buyers choose to look at.

Buyers will stay in a vacant home an average of 5 minutes but linger in a furnished home for 40 minutes.

In summary, staging is the best marketing tool available to ensure your listing stands out. We stage your home to highlight the best features and detract from any flaws. Our furniture placement gives potential buyers an accurate idea of how their furniture would fit in the space and we are mindful of photography angles to get the best photos possible and more buyers in the door.

The cost of staging will vary from home to home. We base our prices on the property's square footage and the rooms to be staged. Contact us for a custom proposal and pricing information for your project.

Our business fluctuates throughout the year with the real estate market - with spring, summer, and fall being our busiest seasons. It is best to reach out as early as you may be considering staging your home. On occasion we have last minute availability, however 2-4 weeks ahead of listing is the ideal time frame to reach out.

We can usually provide a proposal for your staging project after a consultation to gather the following information:

1. Property address,

2. Property square footage,

3. Rooms to be staged,

4. Desired stage date.

Our proposals are sent via email, and to book a project we require a deposit and signed contract. We will then schedule a preview prior to your stage date to plan inventory.

Due to fluctuating availability of our inventory items on a daily basis, agents/homeowners cannot pre-select/reserve the furnishings to be used in their staging project. We aim to entice potential buyers while maintaining broad appeal with artfully selected items. We suggest that potential clients review our portfolio to gain an understanding of our design aesthetic.

We ask that all work or repairs by contractors, painters, etc. is completed and that the property is professionally cleaned several days in advance of the stage date. Electricity and plumbing must be functional. We require that the property is accessible upon our arrival via lockbox with key, door code, garage code, etc. and all codes must be provided prior to stage date.

At this time, our contract length is 90 days with the option to roll over into a prorated month-to-month contract if needed. We require notification of the tentative close date within 48 hours of the home going under contract. We typically remove furnishings within 7 days prior to closing day to ensure Financial Commitment from the buyer is finalized. In all cases, we ask for 10 days minimum notice for furnishings removal for scheduling purposes. If we are not given adequate notice to destage there will be a rush fee incurred.

No, but thank you for asking! Staging is a jam-packed process of moving, unpacking, arranging, re-arranging, and styling. The resulting mess poses potential for accidents, while client questions and conversations slow down our work process. For these reasons, we ask that the property be vacated by the homeowner, agent, cleaning crews, and contractors on stage day.
