Staging

A bit about staging . . .

In today’s market, while decluttering, handling repairs and making your home sparkle are great first steps, buyers have even greater expectations that need to be met to get you the best price. Using marketing and design techniques, we’ll help you create the aesthetic buyers want to see—the one that leaves a lasting impression and brings offers. Additionally, since we know moving & selling can be incredibly stressful, we hope to ease the pressure on you by keeping the process simple and working collaboratively. We welcome the opportunity to meet with you to discuss your goals and expectations, as well as optimal return on investment staging strategies designed to get you a faster, more profitable sale. Most importantly, we listen carefully to your needs and respect your limitations.

Staging Consultation (2-3 hours)

Here’s where we create an action plan for your staging project. Beginning curbside, we conduct a thorough assessment of the exterior and interior of your home. We supply a detailed, check-list staging report for you to record notes on & fill out as we tour your home together. The customized report serves as your guide to preparing and staging your home for market.

We’ll show you how to emphasize those beautiful focal points in each room, and discuss your home’s color scheme, lighting, furniture layout and more, making recommendations that will transform the way your home shows both online and in-person.

While our primary objective is to work with your existing furniture and décor, depending on your timing and budget we may make recommendations to purchase accessories that would modernize your home’s aesthetic and greatly impact how buyers view your home. Likewise, we may also make recommendations for cosmetic improvements that would yield a significant return on investment.

By the end of the consultation, in addition to the staging report you will have a customized Priority Shopping List as well as copies of our essential Open House Checklist and Closet Organization Checklist to help you complete your staging project.

Please note: If during the consultation you decide you’d rather not stage alone, then we will arrange to come back to your home for a staging day and credit you $100 toward that service.

Power Staging (Half day)

Short on time, or feeling overwhelmed by the idea of staging your home alone? We’d love to help you get your home show-ready, which is especially important just prior to having those professional MLS photos taken. After our initial Staging Consultation, we’ll return to your home, and work side-by-side with you to stage the main areas of the home (and others, time-permitting). We’ll transform each space using the furnishings you already own, in addition to essential staging accessories we bring in. These items will serve as a visual of the inexpensive purchases you can make to create dramatic transformations.

Please Note: The home must be prepped and cleaned prior to the Staging Day.

Ultimate Staging (Full day)

If you have a larger home (over 2,000 square feet) that requires more than a few hours of work, this service is for you! We’ll work for up to 7 hours in the home photographing the transformations as we go.

Please Note: The home must be prepped and cleaned prior to the Staging Day.
