The purpose of staging a home is to make the property appealing to the largest number of buyers possible.  By making your home inviting and well put together, buyers can focus on the attractive features of the home and buyers will see themselves living there.

We offer stage-to-sell consultations. That means we will visit your property, take pictures and measurements, offer suggestions of new ways to use existing furniture and discuss strategies to maximize buyer draw. Then we will create a timeline of important selling events (i.e. broker tours and open house deadlines) and discuss your budget requirements.

After we conclude our consultation, we will prepare floor plans to stage your property and compile a detailed quote, room by room, so that you can evaluate the ideas and make any changes before we start the transformation.

If furniture or accessory rentals are needed, we can provide that service with our rental program. Our rentals include furniture, accessories, lighting, artwork, linens and more. There is a three month minimum rental with a month-to-month option after the original lease term is met.
