• How Much Does It Cost?

A walk & talk consultation begins at $150 per hour, during which you are given clear instructions as to what will make your home sell quickly. A detailed written report spelling out needed changes is $350.

A full house staging can vary depending on the amount of work needed, sizes of rooms, and whether the home is vacant or occupied.  A quick tour of your home will tell us what is needed.

Staging costs are substantially less than what your first drop in price will be! There’s also the possibility that the cost is tax deductible. (See IRS Publication 523).

•What Is Home Staging?

Staging is nothing more than making a home present itself in the best possible light to appeal to the most number of buyers. The only objective is to get the property sold for the most money as quickly as possible. It is part design, part applied psychology and many tricks of the trade.

•Why Stage?

A staged home sells 2-3 times faster than an unstaged one. They also sell for around 9% more. It is estimated that only one in ten people can visualize what a space would look like with their own furnishings in place. A key to getting your place sold lies in getting your prospective buyers to form an emotional attachment to it. Clean, bright and uncluttered rooms give the impression of a well maintained home that is warm and inviting.

•I spent a fortune having my home decorated. Why would I have it Staged?

Staging and interior design are completely different. Design is very personal and specific to how a homeowner lives in their space. Home Staging is about depersonalizing your space, while keeping it warm and inviting.

Your decorator hopefully spent a lot of time asking questions about and studying your lifestyle and how you live in your house. As difficult as it is for us as designers, we usually have to undo some of that work to create a neutral, open environment to appeal to a broader market.

•Isn’t That Why We Hired a Realtor?
