Starting the staging process & achieving success:
- 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.
- Increase the perceived value of your home in turn, selling your property faster.
- Help you justify the listing price of your property.
- Provide you with recommendations on all areas of the property that require attention, including areas that need repair, items that need updating or organizing, and items that should be replaced.
- As property stagers we are not emotionally attached to your home. We can see your home as the buyers will see it.
Some of our scope of work includes:
- We have the training and experience to best showcase the property. We are fluent on the latest design trends, we have a grasp of the real-estate competition around your location.
- We will highlight the best features of the house or property showing a better use of an odd space through small groupings of furniture, art or accessories also known as “vignettes”.
- We can help to eliminate the possibility of a price reduction (if your house doesn’t get any offers) or a double mortgage payment (if the property does not get sold right away).
- We have the best vendors in the industry like painters, carpet cleaners, contractors, and other tradesmen you might need in preparing your home for sale or rental.
Our Private Design Consultation includes:
- Discussion of your goals and expectations.
- Walk-through of the house or apartment with “buyer’s/renter’s eyes”.
- An assessment of furniture, accessories, room focal points and balance, paint color and condition, flooring color and condition, lighting adequacy, traffic flow, smells, clutter, curb appeal, and updates and repairs needed, among other things.
- Paint color recommendations, if required and time allows.
- List of qualified, preferred resources provided (e.g., painters, contractors, etc.), if required and time allows.
- Proposal of staging and other services, including estimated costs, for those recommendations you don’t want to do yourself. A detailed Action Plan for each room as well as the exterior of the property.
