Why Stage? The Investment vs. The Expense

Many sellers view staging as an extra cost. In reality, it is a strategic investment. Statistics show that staged homes sell faster and for more money than non-staged homes.

The Golden Rule of Real Estate: The cost of staging is always less than your first price reduction.

  • Stand Out Online: 97% of buyers start their search online. Professional staging ensures your photos stop the "scroll" and get people through the front door.

  • Maximize Space: Empty rooms actually look smaller. Staging provides scale and shows buyers exactly how to live in the space.

  • Emotional Connection: We don't just "decorate"—we curate a lifestyle that appeals to your specific target buyer.

How it Works: The Step-by-Step

We’ve refined our process to be as hands-off and stress-free for you as possible.

  1. The Consultation: We walk through your home together (or via photos) to assess the flow, lighting, and layout. We’ll provide a detailed proposal tailored to your home’s needs.

  2. The Design Plan: Our team selects the perfect pieces from our curated inventory—furniture, art, and accessories designed to complement your home’s architecture.

  3. The Transformation: On staging day, our professional crew handles the heavy lifting. We install, style, and polish every corner until it is "camera-ready."

  4. Show & Sell: Your home hits the market looking like a model suite. Once it’s under contract, we come back and whisk everything away.

Frequently Asked Questions for Sellers

"Can I live in the home while it’s staged?"

Absolutely. While many of our projects are for vacant homes, we also offer "Occupied Consultations." We’ll work with your existing furniture, suggesting what to pack away and adding key "pop" pieces to elevate the look.

"How much does it cost?"

Every home is unique. Our pricing is based on the number of rooms staged and the length of the furniture rental. We offer various packages to fit different budgets and home sizes.

"Will you just hide my style?"

It’s not about hiding your style—it’s about removing the "you" so the "buyer" can find themselves. We neutralize the space so the architecture and the square footage are the stars of the show.
