Staging Of Occupied Houses And Apartments:
A Home Staging Consultation is required before we are engaged to stage your home. We will formulate a detailed action plan of all necessary suggestions to get the home in show-ready condition.
Clutter elimination, organizing and storage, or a referral to a professional organizer
Suggesting enhancements such as repairs, painting, fixtures, lighting, flooring, window treatments, landscaping and curb appeal
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
Shopping for additional decorative accessories (for example, bedding, throw pillows and towels)
Placing all of the furniture and accessorizing each room
It’s important to stage vacant spaces because:
Empty rooms appear cold and uninviting. They also appear smaller then they really are
Without a frame of reference, it’s incredibly difficult to tell the scale and size of a room
A staged home may give a perspective buyer a feeling of what it would be like to live in this house
Without furniture, it is difficult for a client to visualize their own belongings
Transformation of a vacant or model house or apartment includes:
Evaluation of a unit or units for possible staging. Unit must be de-cluttered, cleaned, repaired, painted and floor surfaces renewed by the property owner. These must be completed before staging can occur
The home stager and property manager decide together on a budget to be used. This may depend on using new furniture or rental furniture
The home stager creates a plan for furniture and accessories placement for the unit. The stager is then responsible for seeing that the plan is completed on time and according to the original outline
Together the property manager and home stager decide if the furniture and accessories used during the home showing are to remain in the unit after it is rented. If so who would be responsible for supplying for these furnishings
Contact us to schedule a free visit to your property so that we may provide you with our formal proposal with more detail on our services and your investment in staging. While we recommend a full staging, it’s important to do at least a Quick Staging for Photo Shoots because:
Because over 90% of buyers start their search online, the rooms must appear attractive in photographs or else you are a mouse-click away from losing a potential buyer
While not ideal, it can somewhat accomplish the same goals as a complete staging when time and budget don’t allow
The Quick Staging includes:
This form of home staging is used for only a very brief time period
Evolved would be rearranging present homeowners furnishings in order to complete a photo shoot
Some of the stagers personal supply of accessories may be used in order to accomplish a specific look for a room
