Frequently Asked Questions

What is home staging?

Home staging is the process of furnishing and styling a property to make it look its best for photos, showings, and potential buyers. It helps the home feel warm, modern, and move-in ready.

Do you offer both vacant and occupied staging?

Yes. We stage vacant, occupied, and partially staged homes.

We can bring in all new furniture, blend with what you already have, or stage only key rooms depending on your needs.

What is a pre-sale refresh?

A pre-sale refresh is a light makeover done before staging. This may include updating paint, lighting, hardware, flooring, and small cosmetic repairs to make the home feel newer and market-ready.

What is included in project management?

Project management covers coordinating vendors, creating timelines, supervising work, and ensuring the home is fully prepped before staging. This service is for clients who want a hands-off, concierge-style experience.

How much does staging cost?

Pricing varies depending on the size of the property, the number of rooms staged, and the scope of work. Contact us for a free customized quote based on your home and timeline.

How long does the staging process take?

Most projects are completed within 1–3 days once the home is clean, empty, and ready. Vacant staging installs are typically done in just a few hours.

How long can I keep the staging?

Most staging terms are 60 days, with the option to extend if needed. Extensions are available at a reduced rate.
