Home Staging

Home Staging is the process of taking your house from its daily living mode to ready to  impress buyers marketable.  The home with all your memories, is now a commodity you are selling.  It is beneficial to detach your emotions and remember that your you can take your thoughts with you.  Sellers who detach and are objective about their property, help give buyers space and freedom to connect.  Just as retail displays are made to capture your interest, your staged house can do the same by wowing knowledgeable buyers.  Particularly in this market, buyers want to see updated features and move-in ready conditions, not a mural painted by your favorite artist or a sentimental piece of woodworking.  Buyers want to imagine their interests, not the sellers.

Staging provides Realtors and homeowners with appealing photos for marketing.  80% of buyers prescreen listings online.  Photos of staged listings illustrate the move-in ready look that Chicago/Arlington Hts. area buyers want.   Our Staging service, adapted for each client's budget, is an in-depth front curb to back fence process, highlighting the elements of interest to greatest number of buyers.  Prices for staging of furnished properties are approximate.  Final fees vary due to the differences in properties and objectives of sellers.

Staging Consultations

The Comprehensive Staging consultation provides our clients with a detailed walk-through checklist that evaluates properties' market readiness.  Recommendations are discussed to ensure understanding of our suggestions.  The client can use the information to implement the changes, or retain our company to perform the staging.  It is always recommended to do the consultation and staging before going on the market.

Consultations average 1-2 hours. $200
