Why is home staging important?
Home staging is important because it can help homes sell far more quickly, and for a higher price. By creatively constructing an inviting and appealing space, potential buyers will be able to envision themselves living in the space and will be more likely to make an offer.
How much does home staging cost?
While all quotes are custom tailored to your needs, we believe in providing clear and transparent package pricing, which you can find outlined on our Services tab. Costs vary per each individual property, but for reference, our vacant staging packages start at $1,750 (30 days), and presently averages $2,050. Luxury and Custom quotes range from $2,950 to $7,500.
Who pays for the staging?
It could be the homeowner, the Realtor, or a combination of both. In our experience, the Realtor typically covers staging costs. Some Realtors include the cost of staging in their service fees thanks to its proven track in selling properties.
How far in advance should I contact a home staging company?
We aim for a 1-week notice; however, we accommodate urgent requests within 72 hours for an additional rush fee (depending on project scope). Staging dates are secured upon full payment and a signed service agreement.
How long does home staging take?
The timeline for home staging can vary depending on the size of the home and the extent of the staging required. However, on average, home staging can take anywhere from 24-48 hours.
•frequently asked questions•
How long does staging stay in place?
Staging typically lasts 30 days with renewal options. We request that the homeowner and Realtor update us throughout the sale process to ensure timely removal of inventory before close of escrow.
Do you stage every single room?
Our custom quote will detail recommended staging rooms—often public spaces like living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, and sometimes the primary bedroom. We focus on value and will never recommend staging unnecessary spaces. We also include bathroom decor in all vacant stagings for no additional cost.
Do I need to do any preparation before the staging team arrives?
Yes, you will need to prepare your home by decluttering, cleaning and ensuring that all contracted work is completed before the staging team arrives. The staging team will provide additional guidance before install.
Will home staging guarantee a sale?
Home staging does not guarantee a sale. However, it has been shown that it can significantly increase the likelihood of a successful and profitable home sale. We are here to help you unlock the full potential of your property through staging.
Can the homeowner stop by while we’re staging?
To maintain focus and efficiency, we require exclusive access to the home on the staging day(s). This minimizes distractions and allows us to work without interruption.
•frequently asked questions•
Is it ok if contractors are there working while we stage?
We require all work to be completed before staging begins. We reserve the right to reschedule the home staging, and charge a minimum $500 rescheduling and restocking fee.
Can the homeowner rearrange the inventory after it's installed?
No. It’s important that the inventory is left undisturbed. It minimizes potential damage of the inventory as well as the integrity of the home staging design.
Does the homeowner hire their own photographer?
Our home staging prices do not include photography. You are responsible for hiring a photographer. However, we'd be happy to share our recommended list of preferred photographers we enjoy working with.
Do you ever sell your staging inventory with the house?
While all offers are considered, we normally retain our inventory for home staging only, as it's sourced and selected for staging purposes, not necessarily for daily living.
Does Home Staging require licensure or certification?
Home staging is an unregulated industry. This means there is no specific licensure or certification, like there is for Realtors. However, our team boasts extensive training, home staging certifications, and day-to-day experience.
