STAGING FAQs
Home Staging is the preparation of a home to sell by a professional who specializes in this form of design and has been certified and trained in the art of home staging. Many definitions you have seen no doubt stop after the word “sell” and that is part of the big misconception and devaluation of home staging. A professional home stager has the resources and can objectively view the home as a product and highlight its assets while downplaying its imperfections. The home seller cannot view their home objectively, while many successful Realtors do not have the time or trade resources to properly stage a home.
This is when the home seller will be remaining in the home while it is on the market. Staging an occupied home entails using what the homeowner already has and supplementing with updated decor and accessories. This is also my specialty!
I do not offer vacant staging services at this time.
All staging services start with a pre-listing walk & talk consultation. This will provide the homeowner with all the information necessary to do the work themselves. For homeowners who need assistance, additional services can be scheduled to ensure the house looks its absolute best for the photo shoot. These services include:
1. Photo Ready Styling session (the most popular service)
2. Half-day power staging service
3. Full-day power staging service
Probably less than you think! You can get expert advice and recommendations for less than $500. Please see the different service options and prices on the Occupied Home Staging page under the Services tab or use this link: https://www.kellyhomedesigns.com/occupied-staging/
With owner-occupied homes, I will work with what the homeowner already has and supplement with staging decor & accessories for a rental fee. This includes small accessories, plants, lamps and artwork only. I do not provide soft goods such as bedding, pillows & towels but will provide recommendations on where to purchase these items. I can also shop for those items.
Furniture pieces are not offered but I am happy to recommend a trusted furniture rental company, if needed.
