Frequently Asked Questions

What is home staging?

Home staging is the act of preparing 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. Staging techniques focus on improving a property’s appeal by transforming it into a welcoming, attractive home that anyone might want.

Is staging expensive?

Staging is an INVESTMENT in getting a house sold. The investment in Staging is always less than a price reduction and selling time. We like to ask our clients, “Can you afford NOT to Stage?” When compared with the other costs associated with the sale or purchase of a home, Staging is very reasonable. What is the difference between Decorating and Staging? Staging is NOT decorating. Decorating is personalizing, whereas staging is depersonalizing a home to prepare it for the unknown buyer

What happens at the initial consultation and what steps follow it?

We come to your home and determine your style preferences and assess the project. A quote is then forwarded to you for your approval. Once you decide to move forward with the project, we obtain a signed contract and credit card details. A stylist will call to make a time at least two days prior to installation to view and take measurements of the proposed project area(s) and then a furniture list is compiled. The final selection is made at our warehouse for install day.

How long does staging take?

Each staging takes a different amount of time based on square footage and access to the property. An average 3 bedroom property with one living and dining area takes around 3 hours.

What happens when you declutter my home?

If we are staging your home while you still live in it, you may need to hire a storage unit.
