Frequently Asked Questions

When sellers are faced with an empty home at the time of sale, Vacant Staging is a service that will provide the home with the main focused areas furnished and decorated to achieve the best buyer experience.  We will provide a furniture and accessory rental for the home to use to temporarily showcase the home for photos and showings for a period of time.

Sellers and/or their home contents may still be in the home for the duration of the sale and if so, a staging consultation with our professional team (prior to listing) can help you to know how to effectively prepare and showcase your home for sale.  We will discuss using as much of your own furniture as possible, however may suggest bringing in some additional pieces to pull everything together.

Home Staging helps to highlight the main areas of your home, giving buyer’s an amazing first impression.  We use accessories and furniture placement to create warm inviting spaces that appeal to the masses.  This helps bring in more viewers as your listing shines online where buyers are viewing your home before seeing it in person.

A consult can help in many ways.  If you plan to prepare your home to sell on your own, a consult can provide you with on the spot advice and tips for the best way to showcase your home on the market with your existing furniture, etc.  If you would like professional help to prepare your home, our consultation can help our Stagers get a better sense of what we will need to provide to the home to make it shine in photos and have buyers excited to see it in person.

Decluttering is always an important part of preparing the home for staging and for sale.  Remember...you are moving, so don’t hesitate to get started packing up anything that you don’t use frequently.

Staging of the whole home is rarely needed, however in some cases if the home is occupied while selling we will spruce up each room as needed.  For homes that are vacant requiring furniture to be brought in we generally focus on; entryway, living room, dining area, kitchen, master bedroom and bathrooms, occasionally adding a kids room or an office as needed.

Items used for staging are rented initially for a one month period (however can be removed as soon as needed).  If the home has not sold in the first month, rental fees can be charged weekly/bi-weekly/monthly from this point, whatever is needed.  The consultation can help to determine what is needed to be rented.  Purchasing staging items is not required.
