Vacant Properties:
For vacant homes, we start with a preview. This is 100% free of charge and takes about 30 minutes. This allows us to see the home in person to get a sense of the spaces, architectural style and colors. We take photos and measurements and then provide you with a staging estimate, typically sent within 24 hours. The estimate lists which rooms we plan to stage with the items we would include, and the associated cost. We customize our staging design to each unique home.
Occupied Properties:
We take a different approach for occupied homes. This is considered a paid consultation and will provide the client with an in-depth verbal evaluation and instruction on decluttering, depersonalizing and space planning/room use. We can provide color consultations and assist with new flooring, paint, or any repairs that the home may need. We also offer art and accessory packages to infuse some model home pizzazz. Consultation fees are $200 for the first hour and $120 for any additional hours (billed in 15 min. increments). Art and accessory packages are priced according to specific needs.
Contract Length:
Our contracts are typically for 60 days. This is enough time for you to get the home on the market and start the buzz. By the end of the 60 days you should be far enough through escrow to have us destage the home. If you do need more time, you can extend the contract for an additional 30 days. We do accommodate other contract lengths (30 days or 90 days) on a case-by-case basis.
Payment:
Payment is due in full at least 5 business days prior to staging. We accept cash, checks and major credit cards.
Staging & Destaging Days:
On the day of staging, our team will arrive in the morning and will typically finish the job in one day, depending on the size of the home. Destaging days are much faster as there are fewer creative aspects involved. We do request that we are provided with a key to the home and that we have the home to ourselves while staging or destaging.
