The Occupied Home Staging Consultation

Picture
As Occupied Home Staging experts we understand that it's a big undertaking to not only prepare your property for sale but to also maintain it during the many showings and open houses. It isn't for the faint of heart and we know it can be a very stressful time so our aim is to alleviate that stress for you. All while making the process fun!
Our goal, as part of your marketing team, is to minimize the amount of time your property spends on the market so you can get back to normal as quickly as possible. We aim to provide you with the necessary tools to get you to a successful sale and, give you the extra "wow" factor to make your property stand out from the competition. We are after all selling the idea of a lifestyle and not your current reality.

Fee: $85.00/hr (2-hour minimum)
The Pack Away
After our initial Walk & Talk consultation there will be some de-cluttering, organizing and, items that need to be packed away in preparation of the home being listed. We know this process can be overwhelming and daunting. Packing and eliminating items from our space can be difficult to do alone as we always feel we cannot live without our things. An unbiased eye can really help you to fine tune this process and speed things along!
  • We will help you to streamline and execute the packing process room by room by sorting your items into “pack”, “donate”, “dispose”, and “keep” prior to physically packing. 
  • We also help to assess the items to keep for staging and help you pack away what we feel is not adding to the decor and what is not needed day to day.
