Real Estate Staging

There are many phases to real estate staging from making minor modifications to rearranging existing furnishings to bringing in rented furniture and accessories to make the property really shine.  Regardless of which level of effort your property requires, Decor by Denise delivers a professional staging solution that fits.   As a professionally certified home staging firm, Decor by Denise offers services that span occupied and vacant properties, as follows: 

Occupied Property Staging

"Lasting Impressions" Consultation
We will tour the home, take pictures (where necessary) and notes to provide the homeowner with a Detailed Staging Assessment on how to maximize the property's selling potential.  This 20+ page report provides comprehensive staging recommendations room-by-room, to include: "quick fix tips & tricks," organization of the space, furniture placement and arrangement, removal of items, color modifications, de-cluttering, housekeeping & cleaning, pet management, maintaining that model home look during showings, lighting and exterior curb appeal.  In addition, we will provide the homeowner our "Top 10 Must Do List." This service is ideal for homeowners who are willing to invest their own time and effort to implement the recommended changes. 
Investment:  $250-350 (price varies by the size of the property)

"Polished Property" Staging Service
This service is purchased by homeowners who prefer to enlist the help of Decor by Denise in implementing some or all of the recommendations in the Detailed Staging Assessment.  In most cases, we will give the property owner some "homework" to complete before we come back to "provide the final polish."  This "homework" will include items that Decor by Denise does not typically offer as services (i.e., stripping wallpaper and providing a fresh coat of paint, de-cluttering, etc.).  We will provide the homeowner a referral to one of our partners who provides the necessary service(s) or the homeowner can do the work his or herself.  Either way, once the "homework" has been completed, we will book an appointment for Decor by Denise to provide the final "polish" to the home.  In general, we use existing furniture and accessories to make the home more appealing to a wider range of potential buyers.  However, if necessary, we will add furniture* and decorative accessories* to create the best first impression.  We will do as much or as little as the homeowner wants, within his or her timeframe and budget. 
Investment:  Starting price $125/hour; 2 hour minimum.  Hourly price varies by the weight of pieces requiring moving, the level of homeowner involvement and other special circumstances.  *Furniture and accessories are an additional cost. Price Estimate can be provided after Lasting Impressions Consultation.

"Get It Sold" Staging Package    606826.jpgMost Popular Service
This package is specifically designed to help the homeowner prepare for an Open House.  This package includes a Lasting Impressions Consultation along with a Detailed Staging Assessment, and 2 hours of Staging Services prior to an upcoming open house.  We will add the WOW FACTOR to ensure that all the positive aspects and features of the home are showcased during the open house.  The goal of this package is to leave a lasting impression on potential buyers who often make purchase decisions within minutes of entering a home.  We will make your home or property stand out against the competition to get it sold fast and for the right price!
Investment: Price varies by the size and state of the home.

Vacant Property Staging

Statistics show that vacant homes take longer to sell and they often sell at a lower price than the homeowner desires.  Staging is the answer when the homeowner is faced with two mortgages and the prospect of having the property sit on the market because prospective buyers cannot "envision" themselves living in it.  Decor by Denise offers full-service staging for vacant properties as follows:

"Staged to Sell" Service
Our staged to sell service includes an on-site consultation where we will tour the home, review homeowner goals, timeframe and budget, and provide an overview of staging options. We then prepare a customized proposal that will include the costs of our professional staging service along with renting all the necessary elements—from furniture to rugs and decorative accessories—to give the property that model home look.  Our professional staging service includes working with rental companies to procure furniture and accessories for the home, pulling items from our own inventory of decorative items, and arranging/placing all interior contents to create the desired look.  We also provide the homeowner a proposed schedule for implementation.
Investment:  $185 consultation fee collected at consultation and applied toward staging fee.  Staging fee varies by size of property and level of staging required.  Proposal will include all costs and fees.

Why settle for ordinary, when your home could be extraordinary?
