CONSULTATION

It’s important to start with a Consultation because:

  • All owner-occupied homes, before being put on the market, can benefit from professional advice and an objective eye.

  • The basic goal is to make the home “move-in ready” and remove buyer objections, but ultimately have the buyer fall in love and have to live there.
  • While some homeowners take our recommendations and do it all themselves, a consultation is required before we are engaged to stage an owner-occupied home.
  • The Consultation is a minimum of 2 hours but can take longer for large properties. Our fee varies depending upon the location of the property and the amount of time. Contact us for more information on our fees. 

STAGING OF OWNER OCCUPIED HOMES

A Home Staging Consultation is required before we are engaged to stage your home. Working from our detailed Action Plan we prepared in the Consultation, we implement some or all of what is necessary to get the home in show-ready condition:

  • Clutter elimination, organizing and storage, or a referral to a professional organizer
  • Arranging for enhancements and repairs such as painting, plumbing fixtures, lighting, flooring, window treatments, landscaping and curb appeal enhancement
  • Spending time evaluating what furniture and decorative accessories are needed to fit the style of the home and the profile of the target buyer
  • Room makeovers using existing furniture and decorative accessories (for example, decorative objects and artwork)
  • Furniture rental or purchase, if necessary, to supplement existing furniture
  • Rental & Shopping for additional decorative accessories ( bedding, throw pillows,artwork etc)
  • Placing all of the furniture and accessorizing each room
  • Once your property is listed, promoting the listing through facebook and on our website

STAGING OF VACANT & MODEL HOMES

It’s important to stage vacant spaces because:

  • Empty rooms appear smaller than they really are
  • Without a frame of reference, it’s incredibly difficult to tell the scale and size of a room

  • Vacant houses and apartments appear soulless and no emotional attachment is felt when the buyer walks into a room
  • Small defects will stand out because the buyer will have nothing else to look at
  • Buyers think the owner is “desperate to sell so they don’t have to carry two mortgage payments, taxes, utilities, etc.”
  • Transformation of a vacant or model house or apartment includes:
  • If necessary, recommending and arranging for enhancements and repairs such as painting, floor refinishing, plumbing and lighting fixture replacement, landscaping and curb appeal enhancement
  • Taking careful measurements and photos of each room
  • Spending time evaluating what furniture and decorative accessories are needed to fit the style of the home and the profile of the target buyer
  • Working with a furniture rental company with whom we have a relationship, we choose furniture, lamps, area rugs and non-original artwork
  • Renting to you or purchasing for you additional accessories such as bedding, throw pillows, towels, decorative objects and some non-original artwork, and delivering these to the property
  • Waiting for the furniture delivery and properly placing the furniture
  • Placing all of the accessories and hanging the artwork
  • Packing up our accessories, and in some cases, supervising the removal of the rental furniture, when the property is sold
  • Once your property is listed, promoting the listing through facebook and on our website
