A National
Association of Realtors Surveyfound that:
"...The longer a home stays on the market, the further
below list price it drops. Homes that sold in the first
4 weeks averaged 1% more than the list price; 4 to 12
weeks averaged 5% less; 13 to 24 weeks averaged 6.4%
less; than list price; and 24 weeks averaged more than
10% less than list price".
According
to the National Association of Realtors
(NAR)::
...The
average staging investment is between 1
and 3 percent of the home's asking
price, which generates a return of 8 to
10 percent.
There are two ways that we work with
our clients.
1.
Hourly: If you only
have a small amount of work that you
need to have done, we can come to your
home and provide our services on an
Hourly basis.
Vacant / Occupied
Property
Staging & Real Estate Merchandising:
The
process for each type of these two
services is very different, but we
provide them both. Please see our
Services page for details on our Staging
and Merchandising services.

In-Home Staging & Merchandising
Evaluation, including a Custom,
Guaranteed Price Quote to Stage &
Merchandise your Property,
Go Here To Get Started
Note: A response to
your questions via our online property
information request from is
Completely FREE.
However - we do charge a $50 fee to come
out to your home for a Full In-Home
Staging & Merchandising Evaluation and
Custom Guaranteed Price Quote.
This fee is payable online in advance,
before we go to your home. If you
decide to contract for our services,
this fee will be credited back to you by
deducting it from your Staging &
Merchandising fees, which will result in
the evaluation being free of charge.
However, if we provide no additional
services, this fee is non-refundable and
will be used to offset the expense of
time and transportation for travel to
your home, and for the evaluation.
This fee is necessary in order to
separate serious potential clients from
those who are simply trying to pick our
brains for free information, or who
frequently change their minds. The
rising costs of gas, and the cost to pay
our stagers for their time necessitates
this policy. If you need a
ball-park idea about what it
might cost to have your home staged,
but do not want to pay this fee and do
not need for us to come out to your
home, please fill out our
property
information form and we will give
you a call. Again, there is no
charge for this service. You are
also free to call us on the
telephone at
any time during our normal business
hours.
The nature of Interior Design projects
require a
high degree of individualized and
personalized service, so please contact
us for In Home Consultation. After we
visit you home, we can provide you with
a Customized Price Quote. There is
an initial up-front fee of $75 for this
in-home visit.

Staging Furniture
/ Accessories:
For homes that are valued One Million
Dollars and below,
Furniture and Accessory Rental fees are
separate and are in
addition to staging fees. For
high-end Luxury homes, we may or may not
be able to offer rental furniture and
furniture purchases may be
the only option. The cost is
calculated on an individual case by case
basis. Some furniture rental companies
that we work with may
require a minimum 60 or 90
day agreement, while others will rent furniture
month to month with only a one month
term requirement.
In most cases, delivery, installation and removal of
furnishings and accessories is included in our staging fees. If you have
questions about this, please feel free to ask.
Accessories are items such as art work,
bed spreads, pillows, candles, plants,
table settings, dishes, towels,
knickknacks, Etc. Accessories can
either be purchased, or rented.
Accessories are generally included in our
price quotes for up to the first 90 days.
Most staged homes are sold within this
amount of time but
we charge a rental fee for accessory items if they are needed beyond
90
days. The exact amount of the
rental fee will be determined according
to the value of the specific
items placed into the home and will be
quoted to you at the time of your quote.
Furniture Rental Costs: As an example,
the cost for
a 1,200 SqFt medium priced home will typically be in the range
of $500 to $900 per month, including
delivery/pickup charges. But, depending on
the supplier and the exact amount and style of
furniture used, as
well as current availability of
furniture needed, prices will vary.
